For a custom build with a projected XO below 1khz i'd most likely seek 802D or earlier. For a build with a projected XO above 1khz i'd be looking toward Altec/GPA 902's.
Unless you already own something like this.That's why it pays to collect them early and often .....


This pair came with the lite diaphragms 23744's

Also here's a better photo of the 802G's that came in my 19's
