Thanks for the replies guys, it gives me a lot to think about. These Alpines have 85 db sensitivity at one watt/one meter with 300 watts RMS of which at the moment I don't have the power. I don't know how to calculate Alpines to the Altecs as far as the number needed and don't necessarily need to use those speakers for the next pair. I want to do distributed bass and add as many subs as necessary. I also don't know what the best slopes would be for subs, nor the best crossover frequency. Really, I don't know anything. Too bad this is going to cost a lot of coin.
Also, I am chomping at the bit to hook up my refurbished Crown DC300A and newly acquired Soundcraftsman preamp. I still have to drive 50 miles down to the lake cabin to get the patch cords to hook them up.
Edit; I have looked at the Art crossover and it is also in the running.
