    Default coral beta 10's full range speakers

    ive just taken the plunge into full range land!
    i pick them up on saturday,im expecting a different sound to my yamaha's but from reading on the web the coral's are highly regarded,and being a cabinet maker i can always at some point knock up the bigger cabs for them,
    these are in their orignal cabs,a bit rare in the uk i gather.
    here's a stock pic of the drivers,drool drool! more pics to follow.
    cheers for the info geoff!

    Very nice!

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    well im back from a 6 hr round trip,

    ive had a nose inside and drivers just shout quality,the cabinets however are your typical 70's chipboard veneer.




    the drivers are in a cloth mesh bag hence the discoloured look, with the mesh removed they look sweet as!







    quality terminals,






    and just for comparison with the yamaha ns1000's




    and how do they sound?
    well i was a little worried about the top end,i shouldn't have been as thats very good,in fact if anything they lack deep bass,whats there is very tight and well defined but i can now see simons comment about adding a sub and i can also appreciate why people make blh cabs for them.
    the soundstage they create is very big,it extends well past the speakers width,something im not used to with the yamahas.
    over all though im very pleased indeed with the sound,i dont know how out of use they have been so they may improve with use,ive also turned the drivers 180 degrees.

    The drivers are gorgeous aren't they? I'd be surprised if there's another pair as good in the country.

    Strange that the wiring was soldered to the back of the screw up terminals, probably done for reliability.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    ha ha,
    they sound very good,different to the yamahas, to me they sound a tad more natural,they do jazz extremley well,i doubt id say the same with heavy rock though
