ScanSpeak's 4.5" mid looks nice, but it's still 89dB

Eton's 4" Symphony looks real nice, but it's only 88dB

How about Fostex? 
Don't know if you could find any FE108ES IIs, but I really like them in a second system, in that range (not trying to use them "full range"). 
Really nice tone, good detail, doesn't compress louder than I want to listen to them, even when listening to large symphonic works, or as my wife does, to pick out her part in massed chorale works, e.g. Durufle Requiem Op 9, which has a pretty large dynamic contrast. 

A few pair of FE138 ES-Rs are left if you're interested in going to 5", down to 91.5 dB
http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=8480 ($459 ea there, but information is on that link)
http://www.eifl.co.jp/index/export/export2.htm (one pair left @ $800 / pair)
Or 3.46" FE88ES-Rs.  

And what's with the G10? 
Does it have some special damping properties or something? 
As a machinist I really hate the nasty stuff... 
I don't see why anyone would build anything out of it if you could use anything else if you've ever used it before. 
Wood's a lot easier and less expensive. 
As are various metals.
