I did not see in your post any “sad truth about BMS”

I would stick in the JBL 2440. It is relatively inexpensive. Has practically the same performance as the hipped JBL 375 and all together a good performer. It’s diaphragms are wildly available and it’s easy to used.

Some people use the newsiest diaphragms in there and suggest that it give “an improvement”. I personally did not  play with diaphragms and can’t say. The JBL 2440 would not have the “something” of some of the best vintage driver but it is not too aggressive in the modern Sound ether. It is not a gourmet cooking but it is not a fast food as well. Continuing this analogy the JBL 2440 is rather a decently cooked meal in a restaurant where a main curse cost $12-$14 (Presuming that you are not in Wyoming or Nebraska but in the coast cities)
