I live in Denmark and had the same worries about what speaker brand to choose. In the end I ended up buying Eminence for the midhorn and tweeter, you can get these at good prices from Germany.
The woofers are old JBL 2225´s i got cheap from a local PA guy.
I have thought of upgrading the tweeters to B&C drivers, as they get very good reviews, and are affordable.

For what it's worth, I like the B&C woofers but not as much as the JBLs you already have. Just make sure the cones are original and in good shape and you'll have the best.
I installed the rear panels yesterday, and also removed some of the fiberglass stuffing from the midhorns (i had them fully stuffed and wasn't sure I had allowed room for the midhorn to reach as low as it should). The bass, especially the midbass, now has better definition, and overall the sensitivity is noticeably higher. By higher sensitivity the bass is fuller at lower volumes now.

Could be that the top and bottom sections vibrated a little bit like a diving board until you added the rear panels. The design is strong and rigid when all the panels are used, but if the back is omitted, it may leave the unbraced top and bottom sections free to vibrate.
