Re: Sonab A-100
They are not genuine Stig Carlsson Sonab. You can read about it here http://www.carlssonplanet.com/history.php
"In the beginning of the nineties the perhaps worst chock of Stig Carlssons career came. A low budget loudspeaker company bought the rights to the name Sonab from Ericsson and started selling really cheap “Sonab Loudspeakers” that were made in Taiwan. They sold a lot of speakers, after some time they introduced their new brand: “Carlsson Loudspeakers” and used expressions like “A real Carlsson speaker” in their commercials, which was an insult to Stig Carlsson and his lifework. Stig Carlsson did not want to be associated with these speakers in any way, but the management for the “new Sonab” claimed that they together with the purchase of the Sonab brand also got the rights to use the “Carlsson” brand, in spite of the fact that Stig Carlsson manufactured speakers in his own name both prior to and after his time (since 1983) at Sonab. Sonab did not succeed in establishing this claim so they hired a loudspeaker designer with the name David Carlsson. Stig was in deep despair probably more over this than anything else. For more than a year it looked as the “Swedish Patent and Registration Office” were going to give “Sonab” the rights, but after an intervention from several prominent people in hi-fi and music circles the authority gave Stig Carlsson the right to use his own names for loudspeakers. But it was a close thing."
