Make the full-range and then you will see where you are. Still, I feel that for MF channels it is beneficial for do with a good DHT output stage instead of 6C33C and perhaps it is a good idea to use DHT driver as well. So, when you strategy your 5ch DSET do consider that you might want to do non-standard Milq for MF. The Lazy Ribbon vs narrow Lazy Ribbon… that is not a big deal. I would not spend too much effort to find Alex or whoever it might be. You might even chose to go for another tweeter if you would like, like some kind of exotic Japanese of not the contemporary cancroid type. You cannot make the judgment of what you need as you do not know what kind MF amp will be driving your S2 and consequentially you do not know what tweeter will “work” for you. Remember, you do not chose the tweeter YOU like but rather you chose the tweeter that your MF channel loves. So, I would advise do not worry about the tweeter and build the system without it. Yes, you shall leave a room for it on your frame and you shall dedicate an amp to it but do not lock on the amp topology at this point as you do not know if you will be driving 16R or 0.0001R. About the amp gain – it is what it is. I do not think that 2.7V balanced will help you as converting it to single ended you will be losing the dBs. In realty I do not know what output voltages I have. I do know that with 0.5V I have a “normal” sound in my room that some people would consider too load. I think that friend of yours who has Milq sound too soft has ether too low efficiency of the acoustic system or too large room. In your case, if you have Milq driving the line away of 8 25W/8565-00 towers drivers in the room of near 300 sq and tall ceiling I would predict that you will be in a "dangers zone" and will be running out of gain.
