Also, I understand from Dave that the added baffle thickness won't matter significantly in terms of the relationship of the driver with the enclosure... it'll be + the additional thickness further out from the enclosure volume.
More care might be taken with the internal chamfer around the opening I expect.
And remember the volume adjustments if including the recommended internal bracing as indicated on the plan variations. .

Do thicker panels improve to sound of the Pencil?Keep the internal dimensions as-designed. The only variation is external. Effective vent length will be greater than designed, but with this particular alignment the difference in tuning is minimal & will be completely swamped by variations in room acoustics, listening position & amount of damping used (it's adjustable in the pensils by design).
Have you ever tested the Mark Audio's in a nautilus style tapering tube, where the back energy is all absorbed (as much as feasible).
Yes. Sort of. But only as midTweeters. Both our WAW use A7.3eN in an aperiodic midTL. A quarterwave instead of a half-wave line thou.

Stiffness increases with the cube.

Width is a major factor in where the transition from 2∏ to 4∏ steriradian radiation happens.

I found these standard designs on the website.Any recommended plans for the MAOP 11, I am assuming this is the best driver from MA?
I like the big one with adding some bracing here and there.

Those are all Dr Scott’s (@Scottmoose) sketches. Haven’t done proper drawings of any of thow yet.

Still, for the size of the Lhotse, its Fb48/F6-40 does not match what the Sibelius can do @Fb38/F6-36
That's because
a/ It isn't meant to in the first place, and
b/ MAOP 11 can't get as low as the modified 2nd generation Alpair 10 variation Peal use (not in these types of enclosures). Sadly, try as I might, I've yet to be able to break the laws of physics. 😉

Pleasure. 🙂
No secrets, no sauces, just engineering. LF load characteristics are dominated by Fs, Vas and effective Qts' (where Qts' = Qts + any series R in circuit from components, wire, connections or the result of amplifier output impedance), so they set practical limits on the kind of alignment that is achievable with a given driver & enclosure type. Within those are then sub-sets of enclosures, and of course different design goals for different examples. Lhotse for e.g. is designed as a [relatively] low-forced MLTL, with the cabinet providing a larger portion of damping around Fb & a more modest duct length / CSA ratio relative to some more highly forced (smaller) types, hence the fact that it's taller than many. And so on & so forth.

2nd generation Alpair 10
Note that ignoring A12pw, A10.2 had the lowest potential bass of any MA. A10.3 traded that for greater sensitivity and better mid/top.

You can go down to 37Hz -3dB with simple BR cabinet for example.
Boy is that an ugly alignment. You might hit 37 but it won’t sound very good.
