I built some simple golden ratio bass reflex cabs for my 126es. Previously they were in modified BiBs. I added 3 light coats of Mod Podge to the cones, but they still sounded very thin. Then I spent 15 dollars on parts and built these BSC/Zobel networks:

Now they sound great. Highly recommended!
My new hobby: listening to speakers through youtube compression:
Fostex youtube links:

Both of those sound to me like they could use some BSC.
Some open baffles that sound really nice to me:

And I guess it's silly to really judge speakers based on a camcorder microphone, but I think that these prove that you can tell a great sound even through a mic and youtube compression:
