To give a basic answer to those curious on the Karlson cabinets, I have had the 1958 Popular Mechanics 12" Karlson for the last 8 years and it was a fun toy that worked well with drivers that were efficient, but did not go down far in LF response.
I now have a pair of Karlson K-15 cabinets and have tried several driver in them and I have to agree with posters on another forum that say the best use for the Karlson cabs is for bass and lead guitar players.
I found you don't need a really high quality driver for the K-15 design, it will play pretty good down low to below 40hz even with a economy driver.
I hate the fact that the midrange is squelched in this design. I like to listen to classical music and the violins were buried.
For rock and roll and pop music it might pass. But for the best performance I look elsewhere.
I just got these recently to satisfy my curiousity and I'm done with them now.
