I expressed my disappointment with what I felt was the sellers less than forth coming description of these drivers. To be fair, I suppose, I used to be a +2 pack a day smoker. I quit 31 Jan 2001 and have been smoke free since. I sold gear online back then and I never considered mentioning I smoked like a chimney. It however never occurred to me to ask in 2015. My bad. I just hope he doesn't start badgering me for feedback as soooo many eBay sellers do today.
**** don't ask me what I think of you, you might not get the answer you wanted to***** Alvin Lee - I think?
As for the stink, you guys gave me some great suggestions to work on! Thank you.
Looks like this speaker build will be delayed for awhile, not the end of the world.
Thanks again

First I'm going to clean the baskets and magnet structures best I can, though I'm uncomfortable with putting any cleaner on the paper for fear of unintentional destruction. Then I will start the airing out (?) process for a few days then reevaluate and see (smell) where they're at.

What type of cabs are you going to put the Fostex's in?
believe it or not I was/am going to experiment with them as mid-range drivers on multiple driver OB. My current test baffle is GW 18", Faital 10", paralleled FE-103 knock offs and a B&C D32 Super Horn Tweeter. I'm thinking replacing the two 103s with the 206e-----love the numerology !
as you can see I have plenty of real estate for an additional 7" or so hole for the 206e.
currently bi-amped with 300b driving mids/highs and Bryston SS driving bottom.

Ahhh... I did something similiar around '04. I ran my 166e's in an OB, with a 12" woofer ( sorry, the make of them escapes my mind )and just made a simple XO out of some spare parts. Not too bad, most fun I had with my Fostex's were making the BiB cabinets and pushing them with my old Bottlehead Paramours. I still have the Fostex's in some repurposed bass reflex cabs with an old (foster/fostex) tweeter in my garage.
not familiar with BiB cabinets. I have a set of DIY MJK TQWT cabinets built for 206s that currently have hot rodded 8" Altec/Jensen hybrid drivers running with notch filter and EV T-35s on top with Focal Cub3 sub for bedroom system powered by Knight tube receiver. used nightly for classical radio from near-by college station.

Basically Bib's are a MLTL with only one "bend"... easy, fun, great output with a few watts ( used Bottlehead paramours, 2A3 Sets, ~2.5 watts), and I loved the simplicity of the construction. One of the best bangs for my buck in audio. Also, I enjoyed people's reaction from them, they were tall, ~7', had this tiny 6" driver. I would tell them the amount of negligible power being used, their faces were priceless.
Those drivers and the whole single driver/full range phase, resulted in me saving my pennies and finding a pair of Altec 604's. I currently own Model 19's and have been enjoying them for quite some time now. They will be passed onto one of my kids/grandkids.
Have fun!!
