The principle with extensive damping of the early sound reflexes remains and the cabinet looks almost identical. However by using the new components, the quality improvement is enormous compared to the 1980\u2019s version. With well produced recordings the walls in the room disappears like magic and the listener suddenly sits in the most fantastic concert rooms or studios shivering of delight.<\/p>\n<p>A new speaker has rarely been so carefully measured and listened to before the presentation. Just to find the correct type of damping blanket to be positioned behind the bass element took Stig Carlsson two years!<br \/>\nThe material for the listening and blanket search, was mainly the demanding and fascination first recording by Sofia Gubaidulinas symphony \u201cStimmen \u2013 Verstummen\u201d with the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Gennady Rozhdestvensky (Chandos). But also a large number of other recordings with modern percussion or electronic music were used. However there were few recordings Stig Carlsson really fully approved, as he almost always found that the first sound reflexes wasn\u2019t enough taken care of in the recordings.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a class=\"img\" href=\"http:\/\/old.carlssonplanet.com\/forum\/gallery\/image.php?image_id=753\" rel=\"lightbox[1]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/old.carlssonplanet.com\/forum\/gallery\/image.php?mode=medium&amp;image_id=753\" alt=\"Click on the image to view it in it's original size\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Photo<strong>: <\/strong>Provided by Anders Eriksson, LTS<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Lead\u00a0Editor Per Gulbrandsen had the opportunity to listen to the Gubaidulinasymfonin in Stig Carlssons home, through the, at the time new developed OA-52.2 speakers powered by Mark-Levinson electronics and NAD 208 power amplifier.
