Used as desktop speakers at low levels, excellent condition, both drivers and cabinets.

No original boxes, so local sale preferred.

Happy to demo.

Entry level speakers with pretty good sound, excellent combined with subwoofer.

Donation to SN if sold, as usual.

 

The Carnival 2 is a punchy and substantial speakers. Carnival 2 is ideal for bookshelf mounting but comes into its own on a stand. Unlike many similarly sized speakers, the Carnival 2 offers an incredibly rich performance coupled with a deep sound. It is capable of controlling 100 Watts and offers impressive bass management. At high frequencies, these smart units provide incredible detail while maintaining an impressive level of refinement.

Carnival is Mordaunt-Short's entry-level loudspeaker series offering excellent performance across the frequency range. Carnival models manage bass with aplomb, yet convey the finest detail to the listener.

The sleek cabinets house high performance drive units including an elegant elliptical tweeter design. Polypropylene capacitors give a clearer signal and improved resolution while low saturation inductors mean reduced distortion and better dynamics. They also take in bespoke Mordaunt-Short wiring and as with any product from this stable are structurally well braced.
