Thanks Don Diego. I need to experiment to figure out what I need, (the DCX2496 my calibrated mike and Room Equalization Wizard software will help in this regard), so a selection is needed. If Leslie is selling at prices my wallet can handle, then I'd be happy to work out a deal.
I'm goofing around with four combinations of upper bass/midrange drivers and tweeters:
Radio Shack 4" (Fostex?) & Dayton Mini8 air motion transformer
Sony console 8" & Radio Shack Minimus 7 tweeter
Philips 4" & Radio Shack ribbon tweeter
Bohlender Graebener Neo8 & Dayton PT2C-8
So I have 4 & 8 ohm drivers here and only rudimentary and unreliable manufacturers' data to go by. I don't even know which crossover order or type filters I'll be using. But, as a general range, the number's Roscoe mentioned are a good start: 1, 2.2, 3.3, 3.9, 4.7, 6.8, 8.2, 10. Four of each of those values gives me a decent experimenter's box. Crossover points may be as high as 10k (the AMT), but probably no lower than 3k.
If I buy new, I'm thinking about using the Obbligato film/oil caps with a Vishay/Roederstein MKP1837 bypass.

As a side note, the Neo8 appears to have NO vertical dispersion at all! Ears must be level with it. However, in it's range, it is very fast and clean. But I question seriously anyone who suggests using it below ~1k.
