Does the x-15 have perfect pitch in the bass region like some musicians have testified of ?

I don't care much for Karlson speakers, to tell the truth. I had the chance to measure one and the curved baffle opening makes a series of notches in the response curve.

Yeah, it's just rhetoric.

Ok , I have done some testing with the Karlson coupler on the vifa tweeters with a noticeable difference ,more dynamic like a horn and cleaner sound able to pick out different instruments a lot better. Have done A-B test with other subjects with the same results. Getting the right size tube length and width to match up with the tweeter is trial and error. Using the 2-pi and 3-pi drivers and x-overs. using on h-290 horn with excellent results. Used with 7 foot pipe in the bass freq. So far No difference at the lower end.

Pix of friend that passed on. testing pix upload. The bad thing about age is the friends and relatives that have passed on, Dave and his dad ,the younger guy in the photo was 68 . he would have liked to make some of the Pi-speakers. He just got his wood shop set up then the Lord called him home.

Oh, man, I'm sorry. You know, I was thinking recently how everyone - every single person - was a giggling newborn at one time, the apple of their mother's eye. Sometimes we adults forget that. Everyone was someone's baby, everyone is precious.

"everyone is precious"


Thanks for that, we all need to know this. Life would be so much better if everyone thought about each other in this way.

Yes, I agree. And nice picture too. Remembers me of Coral Castle pics, I don't know why.

Wayne P. has friends all over the world the way he makes excellent loudspeakers and likes to teach and explain about them, enjoying and sharing a really good, nice science with everybody.

I have a much more humane and adequate idea for a Nobel Peace Prize, thank you...

What do you think, can I use the JBL2226H in Karlson cabinet with 4PI crossover and E290H-B&C DE250 combo? Somewhere in Internet I read, the JBL2226H good for this cabinet.
Some advantages and disadvantages?
Thanks for help!
