Hi Mark,
I read your post over at the Single Driver forum. I posted a reply there that has some of the details on the speakers.

I went with the shielded FE-207E's instead of the unshielded FE-206E's mainly because of the Qts. The Qts on the 207E is 0.26 vs 0.18 for the 206E. This makes it a little more suitable for a ported enclosure. For the most part the FE-206E is only going to be happy in a rear horn enclosure. That get's a bit big for my apartment. The trade-off in efficiency is only 1dB or so.

Also the 207 has a flatter frequency response out to 10kHz whereas the 206 is tipped up slightly. There is a roll-off above 10kHz on the 207 though I haven't noticed it much in actually use.

If you want to think about building something similar, let me know and I can send you the dimensions.
