thanx for the tip boomy. I think the 8" version and apt-50 tweeter would be perfect for me. Price is right too at less than $100 per set. I'll start with two mains and follow up with details. The tweeter used has some pretty good feedback. 5 of these in a HT set up would probobly be insane!
Left over dollars from driver cost could go to let say bi amping and dcx2456's.
Hold your horses. I know the 10" sounds pretty good. I was not as impressed with the 8" or the 12". Also, I would not recommend a pre-canned crossover - even one from Eminence. Finally I'd also use it with an ASD-1000 or PSD:2002 instead of an APT-50 - for non pro-sound use you'll want a lower x-over point than 5kHz. A 10" cone will have enough beaming issues.

Anyhoo - we're getting off-topic from cheap OB arrays. I may need to split this into another thread.
