Anyone built a Quasar Mk2? (BD-Design)

Hi Helmut,

However, to my experience, the listening room most of the time makes a big
difference too. Some designs are more robust to the ambient than others,
and backloaded horns can be a nightmare in this sense (being one of the
reasons I want to replace mine).

Listening rooms can be a nightmare and if they are then no speaker will perform optimally. This is one important thing to address first if you want to have a better sound.

I do not know if the problem is your room in combination with the FE103 in a rear loaded horn. Such a system will be honky on its own because of the high "crossover" (low-mids coming from the horn, that is giving colouration).

What problems do you experience in your listening room at this moment? Did all the speakers you've built in the past 30 years have the same problem?

Therefore I would be very interested in an option to try out your designs
(Quasar and ORIS) in my own listening room before possibly purchasing one
of them. With any electronics I always do that. I know, that it's not so
easy to accomplish with speakers (due to their size and weight). Is there
any chance we can get this to work? I'm living in the Stuttgart area in
Germany.

Sorry, can't do that. Too much time needed and work to be done and, besides that, Stuttgart is about 600km from my place. I can only assist you from a distance.

Ciao,

Bert
