Thanks to Mr. VerHalen I now have two pairs of Lowther PM4A ticonals and a pair of PM2A ticonals. The 4's are in two ORIS horns and the 2's in a Medallion. In my estimate, the PM4a is wonderful in the ORIS with the newer "whizzer" cone. I notice no shout nor colorations of prior Lowthers, especially after a few hundred hours of break in. Also, they are more "organic" and whole sounding than the EX4's that I formerly had and compared directly to the PM4a's.

I had several AER drivers including one pair deemed "FS" but none of them had the dynamic impact of the Lowther driver. However, they were more "mellow."

I think you have a very well-rounded product line now with Lowther, Hemp and Fostex for your cone-based drivers. BTW, Hemp makes some very expensive high sensitivity drivers which I have not heard. The lower priced ones do not have the sensitivity of the Lowther. None of them have the shear shock impact of the Lowther, IMO.
