Lowther in bass reflex or Cain Abby

After looking at many of the speakers suggested in response to my previous post regarding suitable speakers for a low powered tube amp (Sophia baby 10wpc) and late night-low volume listening, I am still leaning toward the high efficiency full range driver camp.

I’m most interested in the Cain and Cain Abby and the bass reflex 1.3 model speakers from commomsenseaudio.com loaded with one of the Lowther drivers. The Cain speakers seem to be a well known and well regarded system. Does anyone have experience with the Lowther systems from common sense audio?

Price wise these are about the same, the lowest end Lowther being slightly less expensive, but it is close enough in price for that not to be a real consideration.

Anyone care to share some feeling/experience/biases regarding either of these tow (particularly the Lowthers)?

Thanks again!

I agree with Restock..you should listen before making the plunge. You may Love'Em and you may Hate'Em . The Abbys are beautifully handcrafted speakers. They also sound great with low power tubes. Wish mine were that perty!! :-)

Also you could go Open Baffle..

Go to Audiocircle.com and post your question. There are many on that forum who use and have experience with different implementations of single drivers. You could post it on Audioasylum.com in the HE forum..they're a rowdy bunch though.
