Any comments of this new Bd15 cabinet ? (BD-Design)

Hi Angelo,

To be honest, I don't like it at all. Speaking as a part-time graphic designer: It's big, it seems proportionately unbalanced and it draws too much attention to itself.

Speaking as a consumer: I recognise the three popular mainstream speakers that DIY-ers are all cloning. That doesn't seem very exclusive to me and it would be hard to ask a lot of money for such a speaker.

Obviously, this is just my opinion and other people on this forum seem to like your design.

I think Bert has done a good job of making bass cabinets that harmonise well with the Oris horns (I'm referring to both reference and swing cabinets). I think it's no coincidence that he did this by combining the extravagant, round horns in pearl-metallic paint with unobtrusive, rectangular (reference) or flattish (Swing) boxes. Any redesign should probably start with the same basis.

But by all means, design it the way you like it. After all, it's all about *you*.

Ivo
