Lowther.

[Mika K]

Interesting to hear that as I have been offered the Hørning Alkibiades as a part of the trade. These speakers are bit older design - each of the speaker is 190cm tall having one 15" bass driver with DX4 unit and the horn tweeter. The below pic is taken from 6moons site showing similar speakers at the background.



INteresting speaker that would fit to my room and most likely also for the amps. The bad news is that due to the distance I do not have possibility to hear these before the decision, so going bit blind/def here..

You just need to make sure that you get on with the basic Lowther sound.
If you like the good bits and don't mind or don't hear the not so good bits - both aspects have been well and accurately documented in this thread already, imo - then I am sure you will be well pleased!

It looks like the Lowther 'whizzer' cone has been taken away in those Alkibiades - always a good thing, ime. But that just reduces the sonic problems that bother some listeners, and does not take them away completely.

Personally, I could not live with them - but I know quite a few folk who really love Lowthers!
