Item: CORAL FLAT 8-II Vintage Full-Range speaker driver pair Location: Keysborough VIC 3173 Price: $380.00 firm+postage. Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Surplus Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Very rare opportunity to buy a pair minty CORAL FLAT 8-II speaker drivers.
Superb full range drivers, with impeccable imaging, speed, and clarity. Despite the full range, they do make very good bass in the right cabinet. These had very little use, and were in storage for many years, and were rear mounted in line array speakers. Great with valve amps, as these are 95dB efficient. I have another pair of same condition in ported cabinets, which are not for sale, but you are welcome to have a listen to what these can do. This is my second pair for sale.

Glow in the Dark Audio - Coral 'Holey Basket' fe103a full range driver Coral 'Holey Basket' fe103a full range driver These unlikely little industrial speakers are the best sounding sub 6 inch fullrange driver I’ve yet heard. Truth be told, they best most of the drivers I've owned, regardless of size. Known unofficially as Coral Holey Baskets, these little 3.5 inch drivers were made by Coral for Sony, and came as portable speakers in some of the Sony Tapecorder reel to reel machines made in the mid 1960s. With large alnico magnets, fabric surrounds, and thick white ribbed cones, these little things are monsters.
Smaller full range drivers can have the ability to somehow tie a lot of program material together into a super coherent package, and these old Coral drivers excel at that, but at the same time they give a good sense of big seamless space that other small full rangers (and most drivers in general) usually lack. They have an 'open-ness' to their sound (without betraying the bass) that few other speakers I've heard can convey.
And most importantly, they pass along an emotional presence with the sound that is hard to quantify, but that very few drivers seem to be able to do. If only they had made a 12 inch version of this driver, it would be the unrivaled King. I used these for years at a previous home in a living room system mounted in the Telefunken cabinets and driven by Lance Cochrane’s EL84 amp.
The little Corals are still my primary application with the Telefunkens as the surprising giant/miniature combination never fails to impress me. How can these little speakers deliver the goods in a way that a big 12 inch driver fails to do? It's mystifying. These little Coral’s have a real gift for imaging and a sound that completely belies their size. HIGHLY recommended, and a real bargain in DIY hifi. These will put a smile on your face. The mighty Coral Holey Baskets in the big Telefunken baffles.
NO ONE who hears these for the first time can believe its only the little Coral drivers making such a big sound. Of all of the drivers that have gone into these old cabinets over the years, the little Corals are my favorite implementation, and this is the way they sit today in my room. One of my very favorite drivers so far, and surely one of the best sounding speaker drivers of all time.

Enclosures I have had the privilege to listen to various Corals in bass reflex, sealed box, TQWT, spiral horn and the Hedlund horn cabinets. Out of all these, it is without a doubt the best sound came from the Hedlund horn. The spiral horn is pretty amazing too and it sure doesn’t take up much space!
If you aren’t horny, here’s some. Kamichama karin manga. Some of the designs I have played with. Beta 6 in Hedlund horn, Double Flat 6s, Waily’s Flat 8 (i built this too), Flat 6s in Spiral Horn (i fitted a phase plug). Feel free to write me if you want your own spiral horn for your Corals.
Search more info on Coral speaker drivers on the Net. Hi,I have owned a pair of BX1401’s for over 35 yrs.I have to agree with you about how they have survived the test of time.They still perform as good as the day I got them,and they look great.Chest pounding bass,crisp highs,all with less than one watt of equilized power.They just don’t make things like they used to.I am thrilled to own a piece of audio history.I will never give them up.Definitely the best purchase I ever made.I only wish Coral Audio was in business today.With today’s technology,the Coral engineers would be on top of the game.Hats off to Coral Audio Corp!! Hi I am looking for a pair of Coral full-range Beta 6″ or 8″ (I think I would prefer the 8″). I am a music lover (cannot live without it) and I have built my own DIY Open Baffle speakers my wife and I love our OB’s (Deborah loves music at least as much as I do and she really loves our OB’s played by a re-vamped EL-84 Heathkit 151A from the 1950’s).
We are currently using a Visaton B200, 8″ wide-range driver that is not able to deliver the expressiveness and the nuances of the musical instrumental and voice sound-space the way I am certain the exquisitely designed Corals can. If you have a pair for sale I would be deeply grateful if I could purchase them from you if not, perhaps you could direct me to a source for them. I love your website which is extremely informative and helpful in getting a sense of the genius that went into the design of the coral speakers. I deeply appreciate your kind attention. With Warmest Friendship and Regards Richard Waxberg / 805.640.0532.
