What you want are the OPTI6PM. The ones you posted are actually for everything but midbass lol. The OPTI6PM are considered mid bass but I did some testing with them and they sound fine if you play them all the way up to 4khz. They cost like $35 over at parts express and have a sexy kevlar cone

im glad you pointed that out to me causes i saw the Frequency response: 105 Hz - 12 kHz and i thought it was a typo lol

i was also looking into the Selenium 6W4P but i see they are 8ohm

An easy way to tell if a speaker is meant to be a mid bass or not is if it has a phase plug (that metal thing in the middle). The phase plug is designed to force higher frequencies away from the cone instead of at eachother. What happens is you get cancellation like pictured below

Mid bass and other low frequencies don't react this way. Basically, if the speaker is labeled to only be a midbass driver, yet it has a phase plug, chances are it's mislabeled.

Seleniums are good for the price and have plenty of mid bass but for playing mids I hear they aren't very good.
