Hooked everything up last night and did some listening. Sound nice, to be sure. Ended up going with the 802-8G and 416B from Great Plains Audio. I had the feeling that the people (and GPA for that matter) who said the 902 and 416C sounded just as good as the Alnico were probably right. But I also plan on having these speakers for a very long time so I just went ahead and ponied up the money. I also built an outboard crossover using the Zilch design (may he be listening to wonderful music wherever he may be).
So thank you to all who offered advice on the forum, it was and is appreciated!
