"Meant to be?"

With 100.5 dB efficiency in quarter space I plan to use a dedicated tube amp.  

Yes, some people use high powered amps to see how loud they can get Def Leppard, but I don't see any reason to.  And some tapped horns are also used in PAs with PA amps. 
Just like front loaded horns have different applications, etc. 

I don't have GOTOs... (only in my dreams) just Radians for now, I'll baseline with them. 
I had thought of using a Lowther or pair of Fostex for mid-bass, actually using a pair in parallel. 
I have several options, driver sizes, and throat sizes to play with. 
Somewhere between 8" and 15", with corresponding throat size. 
Probably Fane 8, B & C 10s, or 18 Sound 15? 

It's down to build, listen, change, listen... 
How else can you know how it's going to sound in the horn???
