Haralanov, it had to say, I think it would be all depends how he use that MF driver. Do not forget that this MF driver, I still insist to call it Lowther has very extended HF. That is different type of HF that is coming from “cigarette filter paper”....

Dominic, I did not use Lowtheres on my own and am familiar with Lowtheres only by observing of what other people do. Unfortunately, among what I have seen. Lowther was used in some strange ways. For whatever reasons people feel that absences of a cro...

Perhaps there are ways to horn load Lowthers that do not screw up the sound, but I don't know of any, and there are other reasons, as well, for not asking LF from Lowthers.For me the best thing about the high-pass-limited Lowther DX4 in OB is th...

well, i believe that the popularity of the better fostex tweeters comes from their typical, off-shelf sound which is soft and easy on ear in comparison with super-resolunt Ti or Be diaphragm equipped competition. they very much suit any sharpness com...

It just ocurred to me to stir things up by posting here about the fact that my own DEBZs (somehow) absorbed 600W peaks during a recent Mahler 3 frenzy. I remember reading somewhere that some owners of the biggest Horning speakers would run them at 12...

OK, I am keeping my new The Loudspeaker(s), and I will be selling my large "Diamond Edition BassZilla" OB speakers that feature OB high-passed Lowther DX-4s running wide range (NOT full range!) over 15" Audax PR380-M2 woofers in integrated BR boxes u...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I have not drawn any conclusions about how this amplifier might sound. I cannot imagine how the input stage you use will behave and how that will impact on what the 6C33 does. As I've said previously the Lamm amplifiers us...

Not to be too presumptuous but i thought i'd start a thread that could serve as a repository for lowther comments, ideas etc.the impetus for this was that rola experiment i mentioned in the cogent rmaf thread. I was thinking hmm, 'hard', 'shouty' tha...

...if you want to use it "pure" as it were, without any in-between equalising. Or you could tailor the amp accordingly. I would see a lowther working well mid-high rather than mid-bass.My experience is limited, however, to EX-4 used with wizzer in a ...

I've been having love/hate relationship with Lowther (and its siblings) for several years now. As you all say, it has many problems to use as a full-ranger. Right now, my set up is a 3way multi-amp, Lowther (Reps 1) in Medallion cabi...

When I was in Paul Klipsch's museum in Hope several years ago ole PWK had several of those large upright Voight front horns such as Dominic posted and many Lowther-Voight drivers. Perhaps the old coot liked the things or found them interes...

So, you are thinking about 3-way installation with GOTO bass, Lowther mid range and some ribbon atop? It is certainly no one knows how I might end up: try it, post the pictures and let know us how it went.
I can see a few points where you might need...

Datubie,
I do not think you should have a lot of expectations from Japanese GOTO office. I do not know how about the drivers but I would doubt their practical experience in system engineering. Their exponential trumpet horns are very poor. Their “r...

it doesn't appear to me that Lowther's own designs hold any real potential.As some might figure, i'm partial to Voigt's original intentions, and i think those have been covered over.I post now because i had an idea.I see the lowther as a pseudo compr...
|
|
I realize that some people have been raised from infancy with the Lowthers, take them to bed, etc., so I do not mean to do anything here other than air some recent thoughts on the subject and perhaps get a discussion going about these drivers and pos...

Paul,And any one else that is interested in what may be a new leaf in the Lowther book.Please go to the first post. This is from a participent in this forum. He may choose to speak up and he may not.http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?posti...

Romy dropped by yesterday. He goddamn demonstrated how "yellow" and compressed the Lowther (Reps-1, in my case) is, using my system, by simply playing other channels and the Lowther channal separately (mine is a 4way multi-amp set up, so it's v...

A visitor of this site reported an interning expense. He never was satisfied with Lowther and Lowther-like-centric inflations recently he come across to a loudspeakers that according to him sound absolutely different and he was VERY pleased wit...

I am sorry to report a very unti-climax ending of my 8 years' saga with the Reps-1 driver. It ended abruptly when Romy came and said "Let's go for the LE-8 (which I had it in my second system)".I'll report my findings in a different thread...

If you are brave and have a steady hand go here for a way to SOLVE Lowther problems. Without reconning. Ask Jon Ver Halen of Lowther America for his opinion too.http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1248682#post1248682 post 345http://...

I just found this thread and can comment on the Enabled DX4s. Limono (Wojtek) very gratiously loaned his Enabled 8 ohm Lowther DX4 drivers to me this past summer (summer of 2008). It took my a while to make the crossover for these (I have...

I corrected a mistake in amps construction but the thing I cannot explain is that after I picked up the drivers from Retsel they were much mellower /smoother sounding .Did hummidity change or they finally "broked -in" I don't know. Report...

James, why shall I hit you? The Lowthers do fine MF drivers if not to stress them into full range. I actually thought about Lowther but what I was looking at them I did not see any interesting 5” contestants. The new DX65 is 6.5-7 drivers and t...

Here is an interesting setup. It is nowhere in Moscow Russia. I did not hear it but it does not mean that we can’t analyze what the authored was trying to accomplish.
It is 3-way installation. Bass looks like dual G...

I think you’re onto something in it. Those Lowthers in fact might be not unfavorable candidates to use with horns at all. An open baffle at 150Hz? Perhaps, although I do not feel that Lowther can handle that exertion with a necessary integrity,...
|
|
IMO, with care the Lowther DX4 does pretty well from 150 to 10k Hz.; but it is as colored when "loaded" by a horn as anything else.The "notch-filtered" DX4 driver is pretty natural in an OB within its "easy" range, lacking only the la...
