The BEST system you've ever built !!!!

Jim -- wow! You STILL have that speaker system, right?

Please don't say you've sold it... it'll take $50+ grand for a commercial sonic equivalent (if not more).
(IF you still have it, why not go for 2x15" spkrlabs per channel in an W open baffle -- as per Linkwitz. Should give you tremendous authority down to ~30Hz with some equalisation).
