Anyone built a Quasar Mk2? (BD-Design)

Hi Helmut,

Yes, thes Quasar design is very attracting to me from s visual standpoint
as well as from it's philosophy. I'm wondering what it's sensitivity is -
must be considerably lower than that of an ORIS horn?

The system is active (same principle used as with the Oris systems) and the sensitivity depends on the fullrange driver used. With the Fostex FE206E the sensitivity is 98dB (about 9dB less than the Oris).

Also, I assume the overall sound ist not as fast and open when compared to
the ORIS horn. In short, what is setting this design apart form the ORIS horn family?

This design is another approach for creating musical ejoyment. Some people find the Oris system too directive (presenting all very close to you) and prefer the sound more "over there" and more diffuse. With this in mind and many discussion about the advantage of open panels made me design and play around with this approach.

I have to admit that open panels do have their advantage which an Oris horn does not bring, more freedom in their presentation.

Ciao,

Bert
