  Three tube amps in the house. 25w El34 pp & two 2a3 SET's. Audio Nirvana has high sensitivity full range speakers. Opinions on using some of their offerings. Currently have modded Cornwalls in the main room.

If you're thinking about using them as stand alone open baffles, then you'll need to search the drivers with a high Qts greater than .7   Only a few of his offerings would work for you mainly the 12" and 15" variations.  NOW if you were open to the idea of using your Cornwalls as a bass cabinet and using this drivers as a mid/tweeter in an open baffle, you have lots of choices.  Friends who have heard David's drivers have been generally impressed with them.  Seems like they favored the 10" version in a box, but I'd go smaller if you're thinking about letting the Cornwalls do bass duty. You've got plenty of amps to do biamping, so grab a Behringer or mini dsp crossover and have some fun.  Good luck with your project.

These were my first serious OB's: Wild Burro Audio Betsy's over Eminence Alphas. Ran the Betsy's full range sans crossover with a SET amp and a SS amp on the Alphas. Later removed the low pass filters and switched to a single 100 watt plate amp on the Alphas.

This guy uses some large AN's in his OB's. Great SET amp collection.
