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...

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...

I still have no solid idea how to naturally tame the wild upper-mid/lower-treble I have heard. I went ahead and soldered in the guestimated notch filter yesterday, very sharp, 6 dB, and by this morning the (removable) silicone stick-um was dry, so I...

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...

OK, I forgot to S-P-E-L-L it out, so:H-I-G-H P-A-S-S the fricking Lowther!!!Don't let that sucker so much as imagine anything below 150, 2nd order!Best,Paul S...

Stitch: That was all too close to the truth. Why do these people spend thousands of $$$ on huge turntables and dedicated CD transports while at the same time trying to force meaningful sound out of a single Fostex or Lowther or other ricepaper driver...

Just a lazy-ass type question, really, motivated by nothing more than curiosity.Today, since it's "time to change the V2", and also out of curiosity, I will break in some "vintage" 6C33Cs.To tell the truth, any logistical "issues" with ML2s actually ...

RobertAren't those meant to be driven by 250W SS amps ? Did you chose driver for your midbass already ? I thought that for this range 8" Lowther DX series with its 50Hz Fs and its "lean" sound could compliment your GOTO drivers (16 Ohm version has 3m...
|
|
Bud,Thanks for pitching the A45a and FR4.5, I never dealt with both of them and will consider them, though it is slightly disconcerting that all those drivers meant to be wide bandwidth and therefore have too much HF in them. Still, my initial candid...

I don't know what tinnitus is, but got a similar problem also on my left ear. Sometimes it appears as ringing to certain frequency, sometimes it appears as a piercing distortion (like beaming). First, I thought my ears got very sensi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not have any low-power DHT but now what I do and when I drive 93dB sensitive speaker with it I have the very same ugly midbass that I experienced with countless setups of other people. I think it is a pattern. Also, r...

I dare you to try.... http://www.lowtherloudspeakers.com/a55DP.html or the new DX65... I can testify that they work very well with RAALs, and used from 600hz up 90% of all your Lowther hatred will disappear! cheers, ...

Move over Feastrex, here comes another OCD Lowther-alike, the Voxative something-or-other. When you visit the V site via the link be sure to follow up on the wood-coned, field coil, nominal 8" FR driver that seems to be the only motor in the cabinet...

Thanks for the response! Nah, not irritated, just curious that a publication infamous for reviewing over priced/hyped monsterous high powered gear suddenly not only reviews a high efficiency hornloaded lowther-style speaker but gives it the Product o...

Unicon, I have been effing with a "wide-range" Lowther for some time. I will soon post a report on my most recent attempts to tame its rather ragged response, to be posted in the "Speakers for a Powerful SET" thread.Best regards,Paul S...

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...
|
|
Paul,Actually they do not sound different. As shown in everyone's tests, those objective measures of performance do not change more than you might expect two different drivers of the same type, manufacturer and production run to sound. What changes a...

Recently, I added JBL 2220 for below 200 and replaced TOA DSP with Pioneer D-23 4way active crossover. The result is very positive, but there are still many issues I'd like to attend.I'll be out of country early in September so that'll be a goo...

Tuga,
I do not think we spoke about the specific problem of the single-driver class and one of the reason why I never brought it up was because I presume that every person with sane knows them and those problems are not even arguable.
However I wou...

[quote user="Wojtek"]I use regular Lowther DX4 (ENABLED) . I don't think the 250-400 is stellar and I'm still waiting for the extension to try small throat for lower midrange (2,75") (B&C 8P21E driver) for 200-1000Hz .[/quote]Look...

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...

Greg, did you use 1st order X-overs?I happen to use 2nd order at this time, to keep LF out of the Lowther.At this point I have a pretty seamless transition.Of course, the real test will be with the true LF (ie, way below 50 Hz). In fact, I thoug...

Like I said, Yoshi's gift of de-whizzered Reps got me thinking of better efficiency and more "weight".So far, I've got this:A pair of Eminence Kappa 18" in ~ 6 cu. ft BR box to ~250 Hz; de-whizzered Lowther DX-4 PLUS de-whizzered Reps ...

Interesting concept but let me point out a few considerations.The diffusor does performs a mild "equalization" function if you want to call it that but it is also an aid to dispersion. It is light "EQ"...3dB might be about right. Without any diffusor...

Paul, the
problem could be unsolvable if this peak is due to cone geometry. Flat cones in
general behave very good up to a certain frequency, but they have strong standing wave
mode (its magnitude depends of...
