Lowether spakers: Any dissappointment: good/bad?


With 5 more days to return my Axiom M22ti, I am very iching to upgrade to a new speaker, especially after stopping by Home Depo and found out that MDF is dirt cheap for building a speaker cabinets!!

I have been reading quite a lot about Lowther speakers. Especailly for SET amp. My setup is AES SE-1 rated at 7W (300B tubes) and hopefully upcoming AES AE-3 preamp.

How good or bad of the Lowther speakers? Twl is the strong suport for this speakers which almost took me to get one myself.

Anything bad/I should be aware of if I use the Lowther with the SET amp? I don't like horn design so I will go with base reflect cabinet. (http://www.lowtherspeakers.com/Lowther.html)

Any advice on building a cabinet for this speaker or a good way to approach it would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Ake

You are on the right path!!! Lowther type speakers are the way to go because they play music like nothing else. Building your own is another story. Use of fiber board is not a good Idea. Check out the Lowther site and do a search for speaker building there. It is not expensive to do it up right but any old box will not do. Lamhorn is a great design and also the Madalion.
