The single drivers with back-horn loading are very efficient, without the front horn loading of the Klipsch. I'd expect lower colorations and much more coherent sound from the Lowther. Lowthers are not "coloration free" but they tend to be less colored than most front horn type speakers. The biggest advantage is the lack of passive crossover network, which is a big advantage, in my opinion.
I agree that auditioning is important, since these speakers elicit very different responses from various types of listeners.
For the record, I luv 'em on my analog/SET system.
