    Available from Farnell. Visaton BG20. Good spec and nice quality. Very reasonable price too. You can also find these on ebay.

    Thank you Geoff. These are very reasonably priced indeed. I can get 4 delivered incl. tax for under £100! Have you heard these in horns? Martin

    Not personally, but I know they have been. Do some Googling and you'll see.

    Just noticed the original link I posted is dead. This one should be OK.

    I only have experience of two full range drivers.. the first were Fostex used in a pair of home made 6' Voigt Pipes, I think they were 206's, and I quite liked them, however the Lowther's I used in a Acousta cabinet were something else..

    I would highly recommend the Lowther drivers and if you can get a cheap broken pair I believe Lowther will still fix them which would work out much cheaper than buying a new pair of Lowther's

    I ran my Lowthers with just 1.5w of SET amp and they sounded lovely

    Those drivers Geoff linked to seem to be an absolute bargain though
