They are, and slowly growing all the time... so many plans to do, so little time...

Have any of the plans been updated for the 10p? I'm especially Interested in the mar-ken TT.
Thanks.
The TT for the A10p is the next drawing in the queue, And then a special twin A6p trapezoid.

Am I correct that this would slightly better the FHXL in box resonance, but would not go quite as low? Still trying to decide what box to build...

If by box resonance you mean diffraction signature, yes, that is the usueual tradeoff.
I have a set on near TT prototypes, just need to get somemore A10PeN done up.

I think you’re building a set of the 10PeN for me now also
Anthracite (that is what i decided to call the near blackones) with brownish spots? The raw drivers come off the break-in bench Thurs.

Felt
I've built a temporary Floorstander pair for the 10PeN, and used the softest wool felt that McMasters had. This is 1/2 inch thick, but I'm wondering about the density--if it should be something closer to "insulation" batting. When I hold this felt between my thumb and pointer, I can press it to just about half thickness. Does that sound about right, or is this much denser than the felt that most people use?
Meanwhile, I'm very pleased with the sound. I've got the speakers angled further back (so the front edge would be about an inch higher than the back) and with them placed about 10 inches away from the wall. Imaging is very precise, the bass extension is adequate, tonal balance is quite good, with the exception of baritone voices, which sound thin to me--but this may also be due to their only having another 30 hours over the 200 at P10. I was expecting pretty much everything that they do well, except for the bass speed, which truly surpassed my expectations.
So, now I just need to decide between the TT and FHXL designs...can anyone compare either of these to the Floorstander?

Yesterday was able to use a balanced version of the headphone amp I've been using, which also means I can used the balanced out from my Legato IV. (Pretty much maxed this out when building, and it's much better than the SE out.)
New level of dynamics (got around 1.5 watts a side now), control, and just general goodness. Currently just have straight wire runs right off the speakers to the plug at the amp; have been considering this for my final build.
Am curious about speakon connectors--have used them in back line speakers for stage use, but am not sure of their sonics. I fully agree with the less metal mass philosophy (and have been running solid core twisted pairs since the 70s--mil surplus Teflon, I use it for almost everything).

I have only used than for a single set of prospeakers i built. They were quite funtional, how they work in a hifi situation i don't know. With all the swapping we do around here, pomona dual plugs and standard spaced binding posts are just too useful.

I have part of a roll of something similar, 30 g. Haven't used much of it yet.

No consideration given to looks, cost, ease of build, you will get the best midrange out of a dMar-Ken7.3mT with A7.3eN. That is the medium trapezoidal miniOnken.
That is speculation. We haven't actually built that one yet, but the narrow trapezoidal miniOnken is VERY good, and the slighty wider box should reduce any early inner sidewall reflections (at the expense of maybe looking a little squat).
Not far behind would be µFonkenSET with FF85wKeN & µMar-KenSET with Alpair 5.2eN.
The others all have their virtues.
