They have published a rather strange review on that web site. It (one
of just three) said that the PM7s sounded as if they had a blanket in
front of them. Very damning thing to admit.


Not too bright, is it?

:-)

Forget the 'blanket' thing - that's only some wattock's view; the entire
point of Lowthers is their *clarity*, which is far too much for some!!

The description of the drivers makes it look like they are all exactly
the same apart from the size of the magnets - is that so? (I'm
obviously talking within a model range here).


Yep, just about! You can also mess around with phase plugs (twigs, Orangina
bottles &c.) and specify silver wire voice coils at a price (I bet) if you
want to, but these people who 'tweak' and go the upgrade path with Lowthers
must have much better ears than I do - I couldn't differentiate between the
'cheapo' PM6Cs I have and the top-range EX3s I also had a while back!

(So I punted them out on eBay :-)
