I'd look for JBL 2235s, PR-15s, some 2425Js with H91 horns, a crossover and some reproduction lens. You might be able to fill those boxes up for around $1500 to $2k if you're careful/lucky. Or, use dual 2225s. Or transplant some old SRX or other JBL pro-sound components. Or, if you're on the cheap for new stuff, maybe look at Selenium woofers, drivers and horns. The make an H91 'clone' (of sorts) but not the lens. Basically, lots of possibilities, but IMHO the most expensive is finding vintage correct components.
