HI,
YOU have left yourself a LOT of leeway, since you start with a 3 way configuration...meaning you are not trying to make the driver do too much. Given this advantage in your design, I would still try to get a driver that goes from about 80 HZ upto about 9000 HZ. The reason is that below 80HZ is usally non directional...but if you go too high, the driver will lose in imaging.
So, if you want ot look for a driver that does 80HZ till about 9 Khz, many drivers will do. I would go for the most expensive Fostex driver that does these, since it;s sound will probbaly be best. Think of the F200A. Actually with this one, you will be able to go down to about 35-40 HZ, so you may not even need a 3 way. IF you want to go a bit cheaper, remember you will have to pay for the extra woofers and crossover materials anyway, so make sure you factor that in, before deciding on a cheapr driver. I am a firm believer in spending most on the driver, and least on the cabinet & other components.
My 2 cents...
