I had to dismantle a friends chuffing PM6A drivers the other day (only to find that the foam spider had disintegrated after 5 years, nice work Lowther) What was interesting, possibly, was the coating that Lowther seem to be applying to the voice coil...

Haralanov, I've spun this thread off the "Speakers for a Powerful SET" thread, as you suggested. I took a couple of pictures, but I can't figure out how to upload them, just yet. I'm also not sure what you could see from the outside, anyway.As for th...

[quote user="oxric"]Whilst as Romy points out, the room might well be on the small side, it has a very high ceiling (say 4.5 m) that in my mind always presents fabulous opportunities. [/quote] I have a second opinion about the size of the room. My in...

Hey Romy!Been awhile... But I been sooooo busy!Got some preliminary news to post regarding Lowthers new DX65:For many months I've been corresponding with Jon at Lowther
America regarding one of my experimental designs, integrating a
Lowther DX 55 c...

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...

Romy,I am very interested in this thread as I have heard the latest version of the speaker "eufrodite mk IV" . I do not think any of your objections would be changed by the latest version as he is now using push-pull array of beyma 8" drivers up to 2...

At CES there were Viagra-junkie sized power cords everywhere for $5000. Around our room were $10k and $20k speakers that sounded like a wet jukebox. It was the land of delusion.Value per topology is one way to measure but let's instead start with a p...

Cat:First off, the Silbatone Aporia is $30k/pr not 100k. You could do 6 speaker surround with Aporia for well under $100k. Hope you feel better now."So what," I say. $30k is already too much for my pocket. I am on a fellowship this year and cheapskat...

Bud, you sure make a case for your process, all right. And the problems I have noted grew through the hot afternoon, eg, the power was certainly AFU.Of course I am curious, and your very intelligent discourse about hypnotizes me.At this po...

...we'll have to compromise somewhere. So, since it isn't the spkr's range, then it must be the amplifier. Forget the ML's 18W. We must have ~38-40, so let's say our machine is using a 45 / 211 / 610 /g70 type of tube.Also I don't suggest we conclude...

Yoshi, I do not think you have to be so hard in your Lowther at this point, in fact if I m not mistaken, it was not a regular Lowther that rather some strange derivation from it. It did not sound right nether to me nor to you but I think the very fir...

There has been a report at a German forum today, saying they are more detailed than Lowther, but also shouty....

You can get Lowthers reconed with FS (AER plagiate) diaphragms, more moderate, but no longer a Lowther....

I would agree that the Lowther is not hard to beat but the question is where and in whose mind does this competition exist? Is the Lowther, Manger, or other full range single driver in competition with different multi-driver approaches, other single ...

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...

Movingcoilguy,
sorry I know nothing about the Wharfedale drivers, speakers, nether about the Goodman cabinets. Mau-designed boxes are also very much not my area of expertise. In fact, if you read me than you know that I have a strong attitude again...

Believe, me, I agree wholeheartedly that running the DX4 down to 150 Hz is sub-optimal. In my case it is a compromise that has more to do with working efficiency vs. aural continuity than SPLs. I have also though of adding...

[quote user="Wojtek"]It should not be a problem for you to borrow one of those plastic 150-200 Hz horns for your REPS .[/quote]I heard it a couple of times in a different settings several years ago. Although I was interested in the application ...

Ok, so I'm not really going to talk about the show itself, but more of some interesting things I learned. Yes, I did have a room, but that's not the point. I was able to borrow some speakers from Azzolina. They are of the unusual Lo...

Looks like I'm back into this again, since, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Yoshi up and sent me his "neutered" Reps 1 drivers (he surgically removed the whizzers).I started turning my existing Basszilla components and these guys together ...

Paul -- I used 1st order & bandpass on the Beyma. I think that 2nd on the Lowther would have been better.I set out to try and extend one "way" from the end of a wide-range drive unit, downwards. This I found to be well nigh impossible -- perhaps ...

In this exalted company its probably not up to much but I've not heard anything else demo-ed that makes me want to change. :)Front end: Vista laptop with XXHighend software (best sounding bargain in Hi Fi). Fireface 400 external soundcardDAC/Pre amp:...
|
|
Ah yes that was the thread. You mentioned that the lowther was used too low on the hørning because a lowther could not honestly be used for a midbass. What i was thinking is that due to its design and retarded power to weight ratio it could be p...
|
|
IMO, any sonic benefits from running Lowthers stock are totally swamped by excessive, ragged response that is generally (but not steadily...) rising - a lot - toward HF. There have been many ideas for "taming the Lowther", and here is another one, b...

The new parts I needed to build the new crosovers arrived about a week ago, but I have been otherwise busy (for a change...), and now I've managed to get sick, so I am still only mentally toying with the project. I will try to work in some bread boar...

Roman,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last year the speaker was presented by “Horning Hybrid Perikles” importer who told me that they demonstrated: “3-ways loaded into the same horn loudspeaker”. I asked him to explain what dose it mean “3-ways loaded int...

[quote user="Paul S"] Speakers: I built a version of Dick Olsher's 3-way Diamond Edition BassZilla (hard to find at www.blackdahlia.com), and I tricked it out considerably from his mule. Bass is BR, 15" Audax P380MR, which is a nice semi-...

Romy,In the diyaudio thread on EnABL I cover the Hemp acoustics FR 4.5 C and the Lowther A45. Both drivers in your size range.Since EnABL does not measurably alter any compression wave characterisitcs of the piaton mode tests, except for phase shift ...

Well, Yoshi, at least you're on your way to getting your speakers more of a piece.I have for some time warned people against a mix-n-match approach with the DEBZs, based on my early experiments with them, and it is true enough to say, I think, that&n...

Romy is being very kind to me and not shouting at me for wasting everyone's time.Paul, I really do not think that lipstick on a pig get's to the heart of the DX 4 transform. It's much more like a stick of dynamite hanging from the pigs lips and...
