There are a few 'wiseacres' here that know it all and will trot out the
stale, old 'FR drivers in horns have no top or bottom octave' hearsay
horse****.

Judge for yourselves - here are two 'identical' clips (end of one track,
beginning of another) of extremely complex/crowded music recorded OPEN MIC
with only a peewee little lapel mic (all I got) with digital/SS everything
except the power amp on the EX3 clip, which is 300B SET valve. No editing
whatsoever, other than a Fade In and Out at the ends to lessen the shock!

This clip is the Lowther PM6C drivers in the Jericho cabinet (10.5 Mb):

This one is the Lowther EX3 drivers in the 'InFidelio' cabinet (10.5):

It's a job for decent headphones - my computer setup can't resolve the
detail and smart people will overlook the nasty (computer) recording noises
and make the necessary allowance for MP3 compression. Needless to say these
recordings are not the 'Full Monty' (not all that I hear) and a bit
monotonous in the bass, but they will give you some idea - it would be easy
to post summat a lot more sonorous, 'musical' and tinkly, but that wouldn't
prove the point.....

Not much to *enjoy* here, I'm sorry to say - a tough mission*, should you
choose to accept it!

Comments/criticism welcome as always.
