Going to the Carnival (Mordaunt Shorts)

Posted on December 9, 2023

Picked up a pair of these Mordaunt Short Carnival 2 bookshelf speakers from mid 1970s in perfect nick from local charity shop last week. Was going to team up with the Toshiba deck but they so nice I using as superior table-top speakers for pc and deck upstairs. Sound fabulous.

Here some of the advertising at the time. Mr Mordaunt and Mr Short were long time speaker engineers who branched out on own and built a state of art rural factory in countryside. Here a photo of the old Mordaunt Short HQ at Durford Mill outside Petersfield.
