Description :
The Sonab OA14R is a two-way floorstanding speaker designed to stand with its back directly against the wall. It reproduces the classic Carlsson-sound, integrated and relaxed and has the same ability to remove the walls from listening room as the rest of the speakers from the seventies. They do not demand amplifiers with high current capability and can therefore be driven by cheaper amplifiers and still deliver a good and pleasant sound-reproduction. The sound reproduction from a restored / upgraded pair is both revealing and comfortable. An upgraded pair of OA14 with the new Peerless CT62 tweeter can compete with many more expensive speakers The most obvious thing about the OA14 is its ability to make the walls ”disappear” in the listeningroom. With the old tweeters it sounds as if the speakers have a bit of a phaseshift. This is, as in all older models, most likely due to the distortion coming from the old tweeters, the distortion is preceding the reproduced sound and comes as whistling sound prior to that. Upgraded with CT62 tweeters the OA14 is a very good speaker that can be enjoyed for years to come!
