    I'm afraid, IMO, most open horn-loaded speakers have a 'lavatory' appearance, regardless of colour (pun intended).

    The drive unit in those is excellent. 3,900 Euros for one BD3. But there's a BD4 which is supposed to be even better. Not sure which they were actually running, despite talking to the designer for a while.

    No crossover meant seriously good mid range / treble integration. Excellent clarity. Slightly odd time delayed bass to 32Hz in that design. I would say this drive unit is right up there with the world's best within its capabilities. The big horn just tries to get some bass out of it, with some but not total success.

    If you are after bass weight and dynamics go elsewhere. But if you fancy making some expensive DIY speakers and your priority isn't bass, try and hear a pair.

    I was amused by the subwoofer towers behind the main speakers. Clearly the SIXTEEN 10" drivers in the main speakers just arent up to producing real bass!
