Kralk Audio. Beautiful British Speakers

Unread post by Hemmo1969 »

Like the look of these (Yes I know there point and squirt.... back down all you Omni lovers :))

Anyway like our very own Doc this guy is a one man band, hand making his wares and selling straight to the customer with some real value I think. These are his latest (TDB-12) and will be on demo at Cranage Show, worth a listen I think. Certainly nice to see some speakers that done conform to the usual 1 or 2 industry 'norms'

Heres the blurb that goes with them.

He let a hole in the box, which as far as I'm concerned means he's frills over substance.

They look promising and have been set at a decent price point but as always the proof is in the listening. Will be interested to hear a report on these from anyone who's going. Have the look of a Goodmans.

They are a throw back to the 80's, that is good, but better to throw back to the 60's and early 70's in terms of design and then using new better materials as most of them used chipboard. Anything built of marine ply was probably much better more expensive and American.
