I'd bought them in a heartbeat - now I know why people
pay loopy money for these drivers....
'Nuff said for now....
Last time I heard Lowther drivers, I had tears in my eyes, too.
From the pain!
What have they done to my music?
Damn! Why didn't you tell me they're no good?
I could'a saved a ****load of money and a whole lot of sweat this week!!
:-)
(Crazy old ****er....!!)
LOL!!

A sensible question here (for a change) why have you placed
the tube amp on top of the larger speaker box? Won't the
vibration shake the hot filaments loose and do damage?

He enjoys the microphony enriching the music by vibrating the grids and
anodes? :P

The amps are on top of the speakers because I'm short of space. They aren't
in use, but occasionally I have used one without shifting it - no apparent
effect whatsover. The speakers are 55 kg apiece - couple the 16+ kg amp to
that and you can see it's not going to be easily unsettled, the speakers
don't vibrate that much!
Now one for you:
Why did you change '****er' to 'f***er'...??
If you didn't like it, why didn't you just snip it...??

Apologies for the late reply.
It has nothing to do with likes or dislikes or any moral
objection at all on my part and I do actually swear quite a
lot myself (at the appropriate times). The attitude I have
adopted is that as I would not stand up in a room of people
I did not know and swear at them so I also wont do it on the
net either.
I did not snip it as there was no reason to. I do not even
object to it BUT at the same time I do not want a post with
my name on it floating around the ether forever with
swearing in it ;-) Plus when one has children it has a lot
to do with setting standards and practicing what you preach.
I hope that satisfies.

Keith G,
Can you be more specific about what you like/dislike about the
Lowthers.?
I have tried many of the wizzer cone type speakers but not Lowthers.Of
course all these things need a woofer or subwoofer to sound
bearable.There is no way that 1mm cone excursion can give proper bass[3
or 4 mm can]-even in a back loaded horn.
The Goodmans Axiom 80s are the real deal.Forty years old but in many
ways still the best cone speaker made.

The speakers are not yet 24 hours old, so only immediate reactions are
possible. They are my 6th pair of 'firewood horns' so I had a good idea of
what to expect - or at least I thought I did, until I fired them up! The
first few moments were quite shocking and very *emotional*! (And, believe
me, I am not the emotional type!!)
The sound is very *immediate* and *direct*, the clarity is scary and, after
I had some time with a few records, quite 'terrifying' sounds can be had
from them. (It's almost like they don't want to be friends - does that make
any sense?) Despite the figures and all the 'opinions', the bass is profound
and quite probably all I need - percussive sounds are again quite shocking.
(Visatons on steroids, Fostex on crack cocaine?) Treble is also up there at
what some people might call painful levels!
All these speakers need 'getting used to' (as do any, really) and I'm not
comfortable with the sound from radio yet - they show up the difference
between DAB and FM like nothing else has done to date!! But then, that's no
biggie, I route the radio through to different speakers (on an SS amp)
anyway - my contribution to reducing global warming is not having valves on
all day!!

Very intrigueing.I would love to hear a pair.
Many of the wizzer cone types have a really "in your face sound".I have
found that Van den Hul carbon fibre interconnects work best with these
because they have a very rich and relaxed sound without loss of detail.
This warms up the sound nicely[Van den Hul The First]Use between source
and preamp.
You might also find that using solid core copper speaker cable rather
than multi strand will give a smoother sound.[solid core lighting cable
works well and is very cheap].
Silver cable would not be a good match.
