I'll second the recommendation to look at Planet 10 designs. I have built Fonkens w/ FE127 and Metronomes w/ FE108eSigma. Both are very satisfying.
Also built Half Changs (using FE206e drivers, which aren't on your list) and love them too.
Kudos to Dave & Scott!
Cheers, Jim

I second the vote for planet10, a great repository of designs and knowledge.
My first project was an onken design too [http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=138195]. I don't count myself as particularly gifted in the wood-working department and this type of speaker requires some care to build well. But I feel the reward was worth it. It helps if you have a sharp saw and good quality plywood.

Elation? Is that what they're calling it these days?
I was reading the label on the bottle of little blue pills and they said to call a doctor at that point. My wife said "forget it" and took the phone away.
Oops, that's OT, sorry.

For clean, smooth cutting in plywood, you probably couldn't go wrong with something like:

You could be lucky, but without a scoring blade, just don't bet the farm on splinter free cross grain cutting on the bottom face of veneered plywoods ( or melamine), regardless of any manufacturers' claims.

Cal, u get married?
if so congrats...and ya priapism can be a killer..(it can be literally, so sez my wife-- a health care professional on a critical care floor). Sorry for the OT banter....
There should never be a problem choosing a fullrange...just get ye some O' Dave's (et al) super duper modded drivers... perhaps the best $$$ to be spent in audio (ok the Roksan Xerxes at $180 was pretty good too).
Bigun, just remember not to cut ferrous metals with the new baby (as the site suggests).
nik_p: hope it's good BB ply...
chris, still have a box sittin in my office. One day....
OT (again): if any are looking for a new shiny plastic disc to listen to, try Seal's "Soul". Excellent if ya like soul standards, well recorded... sounds good on the NuForce Icon/Castles and/or tube speakers and/or Milevas...
