I have become a big fan of single driver speakers. The Lowther and Fostex drivers sound especially good to me. There is something very, very right about the sound. What I like the most is how voices and instruments jump out at you, just like in live music. The speed and clarity of these drivers is also breathtaking
Currently, I have two pairs of Lowthers, and have cut up the lumber to build a large cabinet. I was wondering if I built the cabinet too large, but hearing the speaker that was paired with Audio Note Japan in NYC made me very happy. I will try both Lowthers, ceramic and alnico magnet, and probably keep the pair that sound better in my room.
I never thought these drivers were supposed to mate with solid state amps, but the Red Planet and Rethm combination in NYC had very good sound. Despite the comments that the Rethms have no bass, I found the sound very rich and full sounding.
