Consider the Peavey compression drivers.The 44XT is a 1.6" throat with a 2" adaptor available, and has a 4" diaphragm.
Not only are the specs great, but the sound is very smooth and clean.Same for the RX22 driver, std 0.875" throat, and couples to 1" nominal horns. It is threaded, but I think adaptors are avalable (check with Peavey Service Center).
The best part is, neither the drivers or the replacement diaphragms cost a fortune.
The following are obviously my opinion:
As for sound quality, I would stack the 44XT up against ANY other 4" diaphragm driver, including the TAD.The RX22 is better sounding than the Eminence, and many others as well.
DISCLAIMER:
I work for Peavey, as a pro loudspeaker system design engineer.
Obviously, I might be biased. On the other hand, I have compared the Peavey drivers to many other brands, and have a lot of experience in these matters.To check out the driver specs, go to the Peavey web site,at:

or call Customer Service at:
