I note you calimed a fondness for certain softdomes; looks like there are some newer scanspeaks that may have the tonal qualities of your favoured types but with higher sensitivity, which will match the Focal well.
Eg: D2904 types at

Also have very low 520Hz resonance so would suit a first order cross...
Btw, do you have a link for this Alian driver you mentioned. Pure curiosity... |

Yes, Chris,
there are many good tweeter out there and to pick one with near 93dB sensitivity would not be difficult. What would be tricky is to find one that sounds in the same way as the chosen bass driver.
I usually connect them together give them frequency centered pink noise around the crossover point, EQ the volumes and move my head at 3 feet from the axis of one driver to the axis of other driver. The driver should have different harmonic stricture but the same tone, same compression level, same distortion pattern, do “it” at the different volume levels (very important), have the same transient characteristics and so on. The point is the moving a complex signal within 2 octaves across the crossover point, and at the different volume levels Sound should not change lot…. The problem is that you need to have the damn driver in your hand, try it BEFORE you pay for it. That tricky… BTW, the D2905 Revelators drivers look very nice as well
Here is the link to the bass driver I told you. It is not available by browsing and possible only as the direct link. I have no idea why it is so.
