Lowther is an interesting and good sounding speaker. But there is one thing that bothering me is the different timing of the mid/high and the low frequency arrive at the listening position. The mid/high go straight to the listening position but the low frequency has to travel 6 to 8ft more than the mid/high. A horn loaded Lowther is inherently flaw sounding speaker but still sound way more interesting than most of the shoe box speakers available. If you like the sound of the horn loaded Lowther, than you will for sure like the sound from full blown Altec/JBL or other horn speaker systems. When done correctly, there is no time delay in the low frequency when comparing to the mid/high.
Lowther drivers, front horn or back loaded horn?
Hi
Normally Lowther advice to use their drivers in back loaded horns like the medallion but Oris and Azura front horns have also made themselves a respected name in lowther based designs. So, I would like to know what are the differences in soundstage, imaging, inmediacy, low level information reproduction, room interaction,,etc between these 2 options.
A lot of people talk about the magic of the lowthers to make music present in the room, as grab and touch and to recreate the ambience of the venues, so,
Which one of these aproachs if properly used will enhance the lowther experience?
