Anyone built a Quasar Mk2? (BD-Design)

I find the Martin Logans ('full range'panels) very easy to listen to. Non
demanding yet involving with their detail. I guess for this same
reason i find them very weak with any type of rock.

They can rock too but you'll need a lot of power to kick them alive. That's different with horns or other high sensitivity systems (with easy load for the amplifiers used).

I've never really heard OB speakers (unless those funny looking Lowthers
at the London hifi show last year were) but the idea of no box seems
promising - and yes i'll admit those Quasars LOOK awesome!

The main advantage of the Quasar is that there is hardly any filter used which gives the open and transparent sound. The open enclosure gives the sound freedom but needs much extra energy in the bass for the lost energy (that is why I have two 15" drivers in them).

The Quasar's do rock when asked but their main quality is their musical and free sounding presentation.

Ciao,

Bert
