 |
|
Good evening,
A simple question without any aim : I am unable to remind me the name of a Swedish speaker maker (around 70-80's). The speakers looked like a column (about 80 cm high) with a square (or slightly rectangular) section, the loudspekers where horizontally top-mounted and covered with a black soft grid.
Has anyone an idea about the name of this company ?
Thank you in advance !
Best regards and enjoy your week-end...

Sonabs used Peerless drive units; the foams go on the bass units but they are fixable, blown tweeters can only be replaced by breaking up other Sonabs  .
Another "omnidirectional" Swedish speaker is the (you either love or hate it's looks) pyramidal  Larson which used SEAS units with a one resistor plus one capacitor crossover! The same drivers may be found in American Dynaco A25 speakers.

I always found the Sonab's lacking extended HF, probably due to the heavy tweeter cones, and or a combination of the tweeters.
Until now I assumed that the tweeters were Peerless, same as in early B&O?

I wasn't aware that B&O used the MT20 tweeter only 4 Ohm versions of KO10DT and a few cones.

Have a look around here Colin: http://www.beocentral.com/categories/bvx
THey certainly used plenty of cone tweeters, the Beocube had six 2" cone tweeters within it.
