Hi Heather
Do you still have a 2123 pair somewhere than you could use to try a 4 way modification again on those L200?
The 10" could be interesting because it would better match the directivity of the 2397 than the 15".
At 800Hz the 15" already start to beam maybe at something like 100deg, whereas the 2397 is at 140deg.
The 2123 would be better crossed at 1.2khz, right in the 140deg spot.

I am currently running 2397 with 2435 on top of my 4412 for tests (by ears for now) and really like them!
I use 2406s above them. I actively cross the 2397 around 800Hz to match the 128H crossover in the 4412
(turning the mid and high lpad all the way down) and the sound is great so far!
I made some comparisons with the H9800 clone and I found the 2397 needed far less eq
(the H9800 needs the typicall 6db/oct eq in the high, plus some notchs in the mids).
(caution: I currently do not have my measurement gears so this experiment was only done by ear).
One thing I didn't compare is the imaging, as I had to run the comparision in mono (I only have one pair of 2435).
Anyway, sorry for the OT, just wanted to say I like these 2397 very much
