Dont believe i would ever make a pipe with an Fc below .707 Fs. And that is streaching it to the limit. I have done it in the past and lost a great amount of resolution in the LF response. Equal to , or better yet, 1.4 x Fs sounds better.

I have a pair of the Decware modified FE206's in a pair of Voigt pipes I built a several months ago based on the Lowther club plans and I think they sound great. I used 3/4" maple ply for the front, sides and base and select pine for the back with the drivers mounted on the vertical and a small angled piece added in the back at about 45 degrees towards the port, and some felt lining the bottom and angled piece. I really have been very satisfied with them. I have the K502 kit tube amp and recently added Voltseconds CCS mods and then triode strapped it, and the sound is much better in triode mode, it really matches well with the speakers. I also swapped out various speaker wire until I found one that seemed to have better bass. I am tempted to build a set of horns though just to swap drivers and compare how they sound.
