First HE speaker project

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

I am new to tubes, but I have the bug bad. I am at the point where I really neeed to buid speakers compatable with my amps. I would like to get your opinion on my idea, keeping in mind that I know next to nothing about HE speaker technology.
I would like to have some Onken cabinets built, as I have a local cabinet maker who can do this. I currently own a set of JBL D130 drivers, and LE175horns with N1200 crossovers.
If I used these in this cabinet, along with Altec, or Jensen 16" speakers for bass drivers, bi amped, would this produce satisfactory results as a full range speaker. If so, what crossover point would you suggest for the bass driver and this set of JBL drivers, with the N1200 crossover.
If you think this is a bad combination please don't hesitate to say so, as I only want to do this once, and do it right. I really just want to wind up with an excellent finished prduct. Thanks in advance for bothering with such beginner questions. Rick.
