I just built a pair of TQWT speakers based on calcs from a spreadsheet by John Rutter that I downloaded. I had a pair of Fostex FE206En that needed a properly sized enclosure. I am aware of advice that the rising freq. response of this driver means you need a shelving filter to restore the balance with the bass. Instead I just turn the bass tone control up a little. Hope that's not heresy :)
Anyway, I am stunned by the sound I am getting. I am driving these with a 6B4g (2A3 eq.) triode SET amp. Seems to be a perfect match to me. Just played Nat King Cole's "After Midnight" and a few other nicely recorded albums, and I am totally stoked! :)

fe206en is great driver for little cost. I do not use a network use a super tweeter and place closer to rear wall and this balance's out in room response.. Or use with a bass horn ;)
Steyr, what cabs are those? Did you make these? Thanks Greg
I built them.
Nice looking box. I like the wood grain. Mine are just painted with black hammertone paint. That looks nice too. The cream banana pulp cones stand out against the black.
I find the Fostex goes high enough on it's own for my ears, so no super tweeter.
Interesting what you say about placement. Not really easy for me to try - as mine are sitting on a custom furniture unit. Still, very happy with the quality of the bass I am getting.
