    At least they're the plywood ones, not the nasty chipboard version.

    I bought an identical pair about thirty years ago, in as good condition for £80.

    Not to my liking Lowthers. Some people love them though. There again some people love being tattooed from head to foot!

    My friend built Lowthers like that very carefully in the 70's, he was a cabinet maker, but many speakers we built after that were to our ears better.

    I've for a long time liked the look of Telefunken speakers, never bought any though.
