I built my tube buddy a pair of 8" MtMs (similar looking to the Dayton 8). They were 5 cf and used AUDAX carbon fiber woofers that reached into the 30's range, and a Vifa H26 horn dome. System SPL ended up in the mid 90's. I forget what Klipsches he has exactly, but they've got a horn tweeter, the "squawker", and I think a 12" woof with a 12 PR on the rear of a 3 cf box. I liked mine better (naturally) but he still preferred his (also, naturally). The AUDAXes did have a more robust bottom end, but he thought his mids had more detail, which is understandable. I just don't like all his horns.
