Karslon tube

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

There are some posts in this forum and in Full range one about Karlson boxes. A good url was pointed :
http://home.student.utwente.nl/e.j.j.ulfman/
In the Articles link, there are one of a German man : Mr. Beck which analysed Karlson coupler and noticed Karlson Tube for compression driver.
The result with a TAD seems to be very good, the frequency respons is closed to an exponential horn or Tractrix horn, no need of equalisation. The tube looks easy to DYI building, very simpler compared to all DYI horns which could be found in the WEB. But I didn't find any more people using this sort of coupler other a german speakers.
For Public adress, i suppose that the trouble compared to horn design is the directivity which could not be controled as with a horn. OK !
But for HI-FI used, I ask to the group, what are troubles with Karlson tube for loading a compression driver, and also for loading speaker, in general ?, A design similar to Hedlund horn, could be imagined to back loadind a FR, but with a Karlson Tube.

Thanks to all
