You might get lucky with Forte's or Hereseys, or even Altec, but it would take luck and time. Maybe a kit. But for a lark, for 'something completely different' to tide you over...
I built the Bottlehead Stereomour 2a3 amp, that pushes maybe 8-9 watts/side and I ran it with my 93 db Ohm 3-ways. This isn't supposed to work, or at least not to sound very good, but I was mighty surprised.
I ran them this way for quite a while before transferring to my Valencias, and prior to, they sounded quite good and with good volume..
Sure, they sound better on the Valencias, but that's $40 and a re-cone vs $$$. Just sayin'...
Have fun, -K
