Oh, the old snare rattling in the room trick. I know that well. Fortunately, the snare lever on my drum is broken and held with a rubber band that the cat steals.Never had a premier, but I've heard some that sound good, despite the snob factor against them. I have an old 60's british stewart kit. I used to have an old slingerland snare that was my favorite. Can't say I really like metal snares. I'm the worlds suckiest drummer, so it doesn't matter anyway.
Never tried to stack the K15's. It might be cool.
> don't think have ever heard a speaker replicate a snare even in modest size room
My old mid efficiency 3 ways powered by Eico ST70 did a pretty good rendition in my modest sized back room. Fooled my drummer friend from the next room. They had big-ish but very light conical paper cones instead of horns, and horn/dome tweeters.
Yep, that built in karlson loudness curve works good for low level late nite listening. I have mine tuned to pretty flat with a bit of extra damping and optimized for medium loud. I think an 811/80x plus dual 414's in a vented box is right up there for late night too.
