I am also thinking about how to get that headphone sound in my house and am contemplating the horn route…

It ‘s fine but never forget that the imitation of headphones sound is NOT something that need to be targeted by your acoustic systems.

I have researched and think these drivers might be an good starting point for midrange http://professional.celestion.com/pro/products/cdx/detail.asp?ID=9  Of course there might be "more interesting" things out there.

Perhaps, I do not know this driver. Generally pure titanium  might be a bit “hard” sounding driver for home use. What you need to look is how that titanium diaphragm is suspended. JBL in past came up with own “diamond” metal suspension, and they later use solidifyable damper over the titanium diaphragms - I was not a huge fan of it. I like when titanium diaphragm, or any other metal diaphragm by suspended in semi-soft spider:  plastic or polymer for instance. The driver you mentioned uses polyimide suspension. Polyimide is one of the plastics, so it shell somehow subdue the typical titanium nastiness. How good it works all together – who knows… I am sure that the people who design this driver do not really know how it might sound in your application…
