3-Way setup with 8" midbass options?

Who makes a good 3-way setup these days that uses a 8" midbass? I plan to go this route with my CX-7 but haven't much experience using such a big midbass so I don't know what's available to me.
One's I know of are the HAT Legatia's, Dyn's, and the DLS Iridium set.

I see JL has a new 8" midbass but like the other's listed above have not heard them.

Anyone have any other choices or feedback on these?

I dont even know of anyone that competes with focal anymore... I have the Hat 831 set, and the L6 2 ways you will be more than happy with those although you will need to run an active processor, but 99 percent of the people using this caliber of speaker would run it that way anyhow... There is a member of Team Hybrids with a vehicle the same as your heres the link...

Kicker has some 8" midbass drivers.
And they sound pretty good

The 8" sure doesn't look too robust as far as the specs go.

On a side note the new Human Reigh and Turantula amps sure look esthetically pleasing.

Morel is definetly worth looking at... I had the dls iriidium 3 way with the 8, that mid was terrible, very slow and sloppy!!!! not even in the same league as the Legatia 8.
The legatia will play down to 20HZ with authority, not even a need for a for a another sub at reference listening levels... If you are sketical about Hybrid, thats fine, but the Championships in SQ don't lie.... yes there may be better but not at their price point IMO.
