Must have been some work to decide that position for the woofer.
I noticed they said the Baronet ( EV) gave it a run for the money.
The Baronet is an overlooked design.
Thank you Freddi.

and in the Karlson report, the Karlson 12 with SP6BT (which model is that?) was preferred on piano to the Baronet - btw in the tonearm report below there's the info on the Weathers - - I paid $64 for this little stack of reports so more than happy to share the fun
The Baronet, with out the front chamber, with the right speaker would definitely have less front chamber resonance then the Karlson, but not as good bass response.
I love the Audio League!

yes - but as a conceptual sticking point - how does one size a Karlson's front chamber "volume" and when is there sufficient and low enough front resonant support? - besides the midrange "reverberation", are the 12" and larger coupler's providing damping of the important bass region overtones? - despite whatever resonances, a stock Karlson 12 with Eminence C12CX and APT50 sounds better on Garry Karr's bowed bass than my Klipschorns. Karlson had experimented with a one fold tapered line in his "Aural Optics" patent of 1955 but it was very short. A longer inverse K/transflex will model and work - possibly for "something" but there not much taper available in some skinny pipes with a single diagonal board.
Baronette are beautiful - I don't have to skill to cut them
whether deserving or not I attempt to keep Karlson somewhat visible ....
I guess it must be illegal, to print a DB/FREQ graph nowdays, but not in
1954. What I would love to see, and the same goes for amps, is in
the same design over time, to really see if the only thing that has improved
since the 50's, is cost cutting and greed in Hi-Fi, or has there been real improvment?

What there's been is a developing interest in paying less and less for what seems to be the same thing I think. Mob rules, and the folks making better stuff have to charge more since they're making less and less.

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
