Just letting you guys know, if you're interested, I've found a speaker system designer here in OZ who reckons he can make a quad box style FR that has quite a broad sweet spot. I want to play through an FR, but I love the aesthetics of a quad box. I definitely believe that quality of sound and feel are paramount, but if I can have my cake and eat it too, why not? Aesthetically he's looking at a Marshall/Boogie slant style quad. Sonically, he's looking at the FBT 12ma and a number of others, but with a lot more punch. I played through one of his big rigs this weekend and was quite impressed. He's knocking up some designs at the moment and should have something pretty soon. I've specifically had him focusing on getting the "in the room" feel that everyone here is so searching for. The other thing I asked him to look at was being able to accurately reproduce any sound that I build at home on cans/monitors.
That's obviously quite an ask, but he reckons he's up to it. Judging by the performance of his system on the weekend and the many recommendations I've got, I'd say he is. He didn't seem to think that anything I was asking for was undoable or even all that difficult. He's a repair agent for Yamaha Pro Audio, QSC, Allen & Heath, FBT, Kustom, dB Technologies and others and has been doing custom speaker systems for good few decades. I believe the results should be very interesting. Should be quite reasonably priced too.
