I agree with the other posters that trying to cover 400-20k with a single driver is very difficult, if not impossible, to do. I have always found that when crossing over at around 500Hz that high frequencies will need help in the top octave (even from the favorite vintage drivers). If you decide you can live with a tweeter, then a very good 2" driver is the Selenium D405 (not the Ti). The D405 uses a phenolic diaphragm, and can be used down to 400 Hz, but will need help on the high end above 5-6k. If you want to try and cover the whole range with 1 driver, you will need to go to a titanium diaphragm, which will go higher than the phenolic, although the phenolic has better midrange in my experience. Equalizing will help, although the highs will become quite directional in the top octave using 1 driver.
