I think it's safe to say that above 300 -400 HZ, they'd pretty much sound very similar, but the the FH's rear mouth horn provides a more spacious, blossoming sound stage than the Pensil.
TBH, I've not directly compared the Pensil10.3 to FHXL, but have heard each of them independently, and lived with Pensil7s and FH3 with a variety of drivers over a period of several years.
Even though my own domestic situation doesn't allow it, given the opportunity of floor space / suitability to the room, I'd pick the FHs or even larger designs (Maeshowe, Silbery) every time.

We have a pair of each and the drivers have been finished so both treated (but the FHXL drivers have a lot more break-in on them -- and we know A10,3 needs a lot)

Cool, thank you very much!
Which is the correct model for the alpair 10.3? The FHXL?
Can I buy some spikes to decouple it from the floor?
Regarding the sound quality, does it matter where to place the cable connectors?
So I guess that the FHXL is the best enclosure for the 10.3, right?
I think it's time to get the WAF...
