Sonab Loudspeakers. Sonab OA12 Swedish Omnidirectional Speakers in original white lacquer. In excellent unrestored condition from the 1970s. They give a beautiful spacious performance and are very tolerant over positioning. I bought these speakers many years ago because I had very few choices about placement and not much space These speakers have, from their original days, Din 2 pin speaker sockets, a connection not much used nowadays. The speakers will come with 2 Din plugs although the buyer would probably want to convert the speakers to standard banana sockets. The speaker is a bass reflex design, so is quite capable in the bass department for their size. The reflex port fires downwards underneath the unit to the floor. The top of the speaker, underneath the metal grills, is made up of an angled mid/bass unit and two angled tweeters. All the drivers are in excellent, fault free condition. The drivers are of excellent quality as are the passive crossover units. Cosmetically, these units are about 50 years old and have been well cared for but part of a busy home. The original white lacquer finish has just a hint of age related yellowing with slight rubbing to some of the corners. The metal grills are in excellent condition and are complete. Both original Sonab badges are present. At the base, the original back feet have been lost but replaced by me. From the Carlson Planet website: OA-12reproduces the classic sensual Carlsson-sound, lively and relaxed, with the same ability to create the illusion of the back wall disappearing as the other Carlsson speakers from the seventies. They are not demanding particularly high currency capability, so they could be used with relatively cheap amplifiers with still very good result. Sound reproduction from well and fully restored and upgraded pairs is strikingly revealing, relaxed and non-straining. In particular OA-12 also was kind of Stig Carlssons own favourite among his seventies designs. I am still struck by how much excellent bass-reproduction it was possible to achieve from these tiny cabinets, Stig said in 1996. OA-12makes quite the same impact as SonabOD-11: it is easy to forget how small and old these speakers are. Instead you can enjoy the qualities of the music and the sound reproduction. Hour after hour, listening to music instead of speakers.

My apologies to those people watching this auction but I completed the listing in a hurry. I cannot post these speakers, they are too large for me and are too fragile to put through the post. The speakers are available for collection in London E12, about 1 mile from the bottom of the M11. If the successful buyer wishes, I can meet up at M25 or M11 services.
