Can the DIY community offer such speakers :) would be lovely to have a 12-15 incher set-up
 
You can go on jelabs blog. There is a 2 way design. It uses a Altec 414 as a full range with a WE/Altec 32 horn on top. You can also check out Joe Roberts design of the same. I prefer Joe Roberts design. The crossover is just one cap

You can get the drivers, the horn on eBay and get Sadik to make the cab for you.

It’s something I was considering a few years back.
 
I have done the Jelabs with Joe roberts design with the same Altec 414 and Altec 32B horn and tried with Altec 802/806/808 tweeter.

Sounding excellent for a mid sized room and perfect for home design.

@Rajiv & @rajagopal_j heard it at my place

Quite a few of us have a whole bunch of designs from 10 - 15 inch drivers in different cabinet types. Some of the cabinets get too big for our modern day residences. @srinisundar's Western Electric 753c cabinets with the Altec drivers are one of the best I have heard, especially considering its size and practicality.

Drivers are available in India, it will be cheaper than importing :D
 
Drivers without cone paper will be available in India and you have to import same, which will become expensive. So it is better to get original condition drivers from USA. :) :)
Not really at a conservative price of $1000 a pair thats 85k. Getting local drivers and re-coning with @SIDEWINDER18X will always work out cheaper. Its tough to hand carry these super heavy drivers, if you ship them then there are taxes to deal with as well.
 
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
