In Reply to: RE: One (4x8) sheet wonders - what cool has & can be built? posted by freddyi on August 22, 2007 at 11:32:09
Hi Freddy,
You mentioned in another thread that the Karlson was the ultimate atomic age speaker. I like the sound of that! Given the size of my home theater room, I think they would be better for the low end than horns as the seating position will be about 11 to 12 feet from the speakers. I'll probably try Altecs horns on top. Definitely an atomic age look.
So what do you think is the ultimate Atomic Age amp? The WECO91? A Dynaco?
Cheers,

What works better for the K-enclosures - MDF or plywood?
Cheers,
-Tom
I think plywood is better although Willem Noorloos used MDF or HDF - -factory Karlson had extra stiffness due to formica covering - -I had a big radial on top of K15 sound good (maybe better than 511) but was ~33" wideWillem's Karlson + JBL horn pages
Wow! Those are sharp looking. Does it matter whether you front or rear mount the driver in a Karlson on the angled baffle?
Cheers,
Tom
might change tone a tiny bit (?) - all my K are rear mounted - Les Hudson and Carl Neuser sometimes use front mount - Willem really liked K15 and said could get 130dB peaks and power not obtainable with his former Cerwin Vega 15" reflex
hi Tom - for value and being a "blameless amp" Dyanco Mark II? - - Grommes 260A would have been cool for the cascode and screen regulator (Hart said iron wasn't 1st class)
Best,
Freddy
