Another New User with questions (BD-Design)
Hi all, I am new to this forum, and I find horn speaker is pretty interesting. Since I am totally new to BD-Design speaker system, even I spent few hours on this site, I would not find the answer I want. (maybe I do not read carefully 
) Here are my questions:
1. how much does a Oris horn speaker cost? I know the cost is very depend on the part, but what is good starting point (and cost) to build a horn speaker and upgradeable in the future?
2. can I still use my current system with horn speaker? (I am currently using cambridge 640Av2 amp with Rega Apollo CD player)
3. is it hard to DIY? (I am an accountant, NEVER use saw or paint anything in my life. But I am interested to DIY something myself.
thanks,

Dear Richard,
1. Check http://www.bd-design.nl/
Do it yourself/DIY loudspeakers...
2. You can start with what you have and upgrade later according tou your taste...(budget)
3. Start with something easy and ask a friend to help you - you will get some skills and then...:idea:
That's for the start...

Hi Richard,
Welcome to the club!
1. how much does a Oris horn speaker cost? I know the cost is very depend
on the part, but what is good starting point (and cost) to build a horn
speaker and upgradeable in the future?
You could start reading this page:
http://www.bd-design.nl/index.html?lang=en-uk&target=d82.html
At the bottom of that page are different options with prices and at the top of that page you can follow the System Suggestions link if you are looking for a complete DIY system.
2. can I still use my current system with horn speaker? (I am currently
using cambridge 640Av2 amp with Rega Apollo CD player)
Yes, you can. The system will only show the potential of the connected system but for the rest I do not forsee any problems.
3. is it hard to DIY? (I am an accountant, NEVER use saw or paint anything
in my life. But I am interested to DIY something myself.
If you can assemble things bougth at IKEA then it should not be a major problem regarding the horn kits. You should be able to do some soldering and carpeting though and some knowledge about audio related parts is big plus. Painting the horns can be done by others if you do not know how or order them finished with the color you prefer.
Ciao,
Bert
