Lowther classic audio


Does any body have a set of these that could comment on the sound of these . I hear the speakers only work well in the horn loaded cabinets, not the bass reflex type. Is the bass better than the horn type , do these image as well . Greg

My experience with them is VERY limited. They are highly efficient as you probably know. They produce very little deep bass, if any at all. For that reason, a horn design probably would work slightly better than a ported design. The horn would help maintain the high average spl on the bottom end to whatever the cut-off frequency that the driver and cabinet were capable of doing. Bass horns also TYPICALLY have large unbraced cabinets that tend to resonate quite a bit, adding to the "apparent" bass output of the speaker. It is not uncommon for someone using Lowther's to have some type of sub or bass reinforcement for these reasons. Sean
