ben. Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 I’ll be driving through PA on I-80 to NYC Saturday if anyone there needs these delivered. In Edinboro on Friday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 I have a somewhat local guy somewhat interested in these, will probably trade for a guitar. Figured I'd give them another poke here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatever55 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Are these the K15 ? Shouldn't the driver be tilted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 They are the K15, loaded w 12s. Yes, the driver is angled upward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyrc Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 In the late '50s and early '60s I had a Karlson my dad built for me with a JBL D130 (15") in it, and a friend had one with a University 6201 (12") in it. In both cases there was a nice bass punch, and they both liked a 4 to 8 dB boost in the bass, with no apparent increase in distortion, due to them having some front and rear horn loading (??).

Do the upper and lower chambers communicate with each other? From the photo it’s unclear whether the central horizontal board is just a brace or a full shelf. Do you have, or could you please draw, a cross section view? The “Mini Karlsonators” I was inspired by a diyaudio forum thread to build look like this on the inside. I’m curious about yours.

DizRotus Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 When I showed one of my “Minis” to a nephew, he described the appearance as Georgia O’Keefe-like. I said the form goes back to the 30’s. His deadpan reply, “It’s older than that.” 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyrc Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I believe this was the "standard" one, if there was one. It'll be interesting to see if there was a variation. Man, there were people who complained that it was not flat, but it seemed better, punchier, and more exciting than JBL's C34 "Scoop" with identical speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
