You'd have to do some research, but the info is out there. Crossover calculators can be found online, like this: http://www.speakerwizard.co.uk/1st-a...nse-simulator/
One possible candidate for a system using the Corals might be the SEAS H-087 unit with the 1.5 inch soft dome, as used in Dynaco and some Goodmans speakers. They are usually 4 ohm and crop up on ebay quite often. Like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seas-H-08...oAAOSwQiFaVgVi
The Corals have quite an extended range for a biggish driver and the SEAS tweeter can be used from 2kHz upwards, so there's potential there. You'd need to check driver sensitivities, I have a feeling they'd be about the same. It doesn't matter if the tweeter has higher sensitivity than the bass driver, that can be compensated for.
And yes, you can use a 4 ohm tweeter with an 8 ohm bass driver.
At a guess, something like a ported forty to fifty litre cabinet may suit the Corals. That's about the size I used (half a lifetime ago).

Some of these items make me realise just what an exciting period in audio history I/we have been fortunate enough to have grown up in.
Looking at those Falcons shows what an evolution we have been in, real endeavour by people who love the pursuit of good sound, and I am even a little enthused to do more myself.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
