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.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!

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!!
