You'd think I could get everything in one post. 
It's interesting. If you look at a graph of a TB 871 with Zaph's notch filter you think "it doesn't get any better than that" and yet there's something about the sound (tonality?) of the Fostex drivers that I just like. I don't think it shows up on a graph anywhere, it just sounds better to me.

Since no one seems to have answered you on this one, Rudolf, "Willikers" is simply an American expression of surprise, as in "gee willikers". I believe it is a derivation of "gee whiz", itself from the exclaimation "jesus" (that's a word you have to pronounce in an English fashion to get it).

An even further variation is "jumpin' gee willikers". Good job falcott!
I was playing with some numbers and found that a single FE127E could be transferred directly into the same enclosure I'm using for my bipole FE103E speaker with satisfactory results. Could be helpful for close wall placement.

I did the Pico line at the Seattle DIY with a few changes.
Well everything.
Line changed in size, and filter completly different over te Pico.
I also did a ported design last year at my NW DIY and Dave took them apart in 30 seconds after he purchased them.
To find out what driver hehad never listened to before.

Hi,
I´ve built a little ML-QWT as given already in this thread.
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33101&perpage=10&pagenumber=1
Soundwise it´s far superior to a standard BR I´ve modeled in WinISD and also in comparison with a sealed (obviously as it goes deeper and sounds fuller).
Only problem with the Tangband is the limited SPL.
It´ll have a bad power handling playing on it´s own no matter what you do.
Despite that it´s a very nice speaker and you won´t regret having bought it anyway. As the reponse is very linear you can combine it with a cheap 6.5" or similar.
Now, how can you explain maximum excursion to your wife?
Talking about dipoles you might find that thread especially interesting:
