These are Valencia 846a cabs from the time I was trying to see what the fuss all about. Well, there is nothing there. People who go gaga over this junk have cabbage instead of brain.
2 upper corners are wrecked and either will need to be restored or I would just rout out some of that sticking upper trim. Base boards are also wrecked from moving the cabs around .Apart from this cosmetic issues and some veneer problems the cabs are sound and acoustically solid.

Now , Karlsons I did really like. I used Altec 803a (45Hz fs) 15" vintage woofers with 120W mosfet amp and the combination was rocking. It communicated with primitive parts of my listening habits quite well. Non of that audiophile BS.
My ex kept the big speakers and I lost the room hence the sale of the cabs. I will keep them if I have to sacrifice. The Altecs will go up with the smoke though unless some cabbage head will decide to rescue them of course.
Hey W, how is everything? Beautiful weather and mountains here in Albuquerque. What are those tall speakers to the left in the picture. Are those the Edgarhorns Dan had? Dennis.
Hiya Dennis
Those big cabs are Kevin Brooks custom built "monitors" Built by master carpenter in Salt Lake City (I heard it costed $5k to built plus gold to buy real Tannoy fabric for grilles ) Dual layer of baltic birch Ply on side and back and triple on the front plus matrix structure inside the chambers. All TAD drivers. I didn't like them and my ex wanted the cabs in her new big house so she kept them.
I have C.A.R T3 cabs in my shed now. They belonged to a 9/11 victim. J.C Morrison robbed them out of all the components but as you know John Wolfe lives in Brighton and he sold me the crossover bits and I had some TAD junk in my closet to fill the holes.
The weather is nice in Notown as well . All the best

I'm not running the C. A. R s at the moment . They will get use closer to when I will be ready to make a pile of the junk I collected and set it on fire.
I have Tad Tl 1602, Truextent beryllium JbL 2441 (I sold Tad 4001, couldn't make myself to like it) and ET-703 tweet.
At present I'm futzing with array and subs

My main listening room is a bedroom now .Rehdeko speakers kind of damaged me and I lost desire for the moment to **** with horns .Also I need a dedicated power line to main system and will have to clear the space .
I finished after years of procrastination my small 300b monos , Harry lent me his private NOS pair of WE300b and with TVC and RaKK dac MK3 the system plays lovely. Too bad Rhede speakers are too small for living room. I love those boxes even though they are probably objectively the worst speakers ever conceived. ( I like fat girls too if that explains anything ) ...
