Admiral Turbo Reflex Speakers

Here is something that flies under the radar for almost everyone but there is a dedicated following for this speakers, super ugly and cheaply made cabinets. It is what was inside and the design that counts.






These speakers use Coral 12RG06 full range 5.25 inch woofers and a tweeter crossed over with a 1uf capacitor. The boxes are a back horn loaded design with the chamber that goes back and forth across the internals three times producing outstanding bass. The sound from a tube amp defies how cheap and ugly these speakers seem to appear.

In that respect I have salvaged the drivers and kept one box to rebuild this design in decent boxes, I have enough Foster 4 inch drivers also to make a few pairs of folded horn loaded speakers.
