If you are willing to go to a 15" driver, the JBL 2226J and older 2225J are both options. Clearly these will need to go with larger format horns. Don't be worried about pro-drivers needing more power; they don't. These are extremely efficient with powerful motors. Jamminjersey has used 2235Js for $300/pr. You will want to work with alignments a bit. These are not the extremely low QTS drivers that some of the highest efficiency drivers, such as the 2220J (.17 but 101.5 db) are, but they will still tend to roll off a little early. Given natural room reinforcement, a little lower tuning can work well for you, especially since you won't have to worry in the slightest about exceeding xmax in the octave above fb.Happy tweaking!
