About the Sonab in South Afrika I just want to paste in this little sentence from Peter Steindl (fd Bremen) and from the text about his history together with Stig Carlsson that he is writing on http://www.faktiskt.se

"Jag minns då Sonabs Sydafrikanska distributör Heinz flög upp ända från Johannesburg och var alldeles förtvivlad då Sonab lades ner. "

(I´ve already translated the sentense to Colesking)

And I can assume that they are sounding as great as they are looking!!! I had the honor to be visiting Colesking in the weekend and it was a very nice evening with much music, eating and talking. Even though the room wasn´t optimal in size the sound was truly amazing. I couldn´t fint anything that was missing in it, just nice fullregister sound that really was imitating the time the music was recorded and gave a true livefeeling with an amazing relaxed feeling!

Thanks very much for the visit Colesking!
Next time we´ll see us it will be about the oa52.3......

Acording to, that to me suprising of the, "S.A. / Sonab connection", wasn't that Sonab and Carlsson was well known and sold round the globe and even in S.A. in the 1970.s -it was about the official swedish politic vs S.A. including economic sanctions. But that was probely starting later in the 1980.s, and I wasn't especially clear :roll: about exactly this, earlier on this topic.

Re: Serial numbers on OA2212 Speakers - how many made?

Two words of thanks - thanks godag for publishing my OA2212 photos and to Tyko for introducing me to some lovely new music - I have already decide to get myself "A Family Affair" by the Bibbs.

My lounge is fine and probably just big enough for the OA2212. Because they are big speakers they would play even better, in my opinion, in a larger room, where they will have much more opportunity to "create a musical stage". Luckily my lounge is well damped in the form of carpeting and enough upholstered furniture - in addition my walls are not very harsh in their reflective characteristics. All, in all, the room and OA2212 combination is OK but they would most certainly benefit from being in a physically larger room with the same sound damping characteristics as the present room.

My other pair of OA2212 that play in my friends house, using exactly the same amplification, do not have the advantage of the well damped and neutral walls. They do not sound bad at all (how on earth can a pair of OA2212 sound bad?), but the OA2212 plays better in my room.

I demonstrated the OA116 to Tyko and I played them for another day afterwards - I thought I would let them play for another few weeks but I have put the OA2212 back on. The OA116 are good speakers, but the OA2212 just lifts the musical experience. One area where the OA116 have an advantage is that they seem to be "more lively" - this makes sense because the OA2212 have lots of air to move because of their size. However, the OA116 are "too bright" on my amplifier combination - not viciously so, but brighter nevertheless.

These are just some of my thoughts and may be meaningful for others who would like and impression of the difference between the speakers.
