Hi freddyi!
thanks for your message! But: 604E is a Coax-System with this
beautiful cellular horn in the middle which has a disperion of about (nominal) 90degree horizontal. I think the carlsson Coupler is more a specialized bass-unit.
thanks anyway for your fast reaction, klaus

sorry, i didnīt say itīs a 604e Duplex.

Hi Klaus - in one of my factory Karlson boxes run 604 Duplex converted from paper surround to cloth surround with a series network- HF isn't too badly affected - but may not please your ears - I think the initial slot opening plays a major role in upper midrange characteritics besides slot taper and type of reflector panel - the old Karlson tends to have a somewhat laid-back upper midrange which can be pretty on piano - I like the subjective punch on drums and sound on bass violin - one can feel the basswave - seems to energize the room nicely.
Hi Freddy!
Your sound-description matches exactly where I want to end up!
I just worry about upper mids - means voice range - and lower high freq. dispersion. Upper high freq. shouldnīt be affected too much. Problem is the level between bass and deeper mids - I havenīt any experiences with Karlsons in that way.
