if you're game to diy and experimenta 6" piece of pvc makes an excellent sounding waveguide to augment woofers
and one Karlson builder uses the slotted open end waveguide to augment Fostex FE206EN in his custom Karlson-coupler.a long-distance friend is testing a K-coupler/tapped transline designed by Greg B. over at Gregg Baker's Karlson Loudspeaker forum.
Horns are cool but they're not the only thing in this world.
Fostex FE206EN in a custom little Karlson coupler - not much bass but
very good midrange and highs (considering its that driver)
Beta 10cx with APT50 in an old diy Karlson 12 copy - hits a
good bass drum with my AlephJ clone
ugly painted K12 copy loaded with P-Audio 12CXA
3-K-couplers: A k12 with cast frame 800z magnet Eminence, A X15 copy
with Audio Nirvana stamped frame Super10, and a 1954 Karlsonette
loaded with Tangband W8-1772 all sitting in front of my Klipschorn
An EV15B in a 29"x20"x15" K-coupler built by KK Audio for bass guitar
The KK Audio Karlson-coupler topped with a Transylvania Power Company
slotted tube waveguide - its extremely natural sounding in the highs
plus this is a very good little bass/midbass coupler
Scrap 5" k-coupler with a $10 Dayton 5"
K12 with Beta 12LTA - Beta 12LTA lacks motor but over at Diyaudio,
those guys are impressed :^)
Ancient dried up University 122 speaker - Fs >100Hz, Qts <1.4
damn thing sounds great on Jimmy Roselli
Closeup of FE206EN in the 1954 little Karslsonette - its better
than my Klipschorn for coherency with the better percussion CDs
plus rocks oh Johnny Cash
