for SQ, scanspeak is several levels above all you listed.

Scans don't do well off axis. And the large format that play low will require a lot of custom work.

The SSA actually look pretty good.

Stereo Integrity have a nice set if they are still available

If you look at their near feild response graphs you will see how bad they fall on their face off axis. Yours might be even more off axis then they measure but I don't know where yours are at.

A car audio branded tweeter, at least the better ones take that into account.
