Karlson did somebody mention Karlson???
Hi, I am actually listening to a pair of 15 inch vintage Karsons as I write this...they were a very generous Chritmas Gift from "Santa and his many helpers",the AK "Audio Elfen Folk".. if interested you can read about it in the Speaker section under "Big Woofers and Horns" the thread went to the moon and back, actually the North Pole I think, but am still not really sure!! It still gives me a good feeling and I laugh heartilly whenever thinking about it ,Great Fun!! thanks again to all the Ak members who took part,and believe it or not, actually drove the Karlson's with Eminence woofers and crossovers all the way up from Ohio and up into London Ontario Canada!!! Wow!! what a combined Christmas Spirit!! anyways the way I use the Karlson's is by combining them with the Altec Lansing 811b horns and 802 drivers(mounted on top of cabinet), using an Eico HF-81 14 watt tube amp, dvd player for movies and "Live " dvd performances, turntable with 60's70's tunes, and Jazz/vocal cd'z...,having played drums in the past I find the bass drum and bass guitar lines represented well and believe me the horns take care of the rest..I say "listen" with your "own ears" and only let other people's opinions guide you to a starting point...the Karlsons, complete with horns and tubes do some things that appeal to me,draw me into the music/movie, and seem " Right" in my humble very limited expierience opinion..I think(not sure though) they were originally designed for co-axial speakers but find them better than "OK" by me for my listening habits..Kenny
