There is some fresh air to the Lowthers (News)

Maybe I'm wrong but it is a growing family of people who beleive
that Lowthers should be used only for the area which they do best - as a
midrange driver - certainly not under 150-200hz and not above 6-7k. I
think this goes along LyGC Olson views of coupling it with RAAL ribbon
supertweeter and 15" driver(s) for low end duties.

I would go along with this, but dont think Lowthers are as limited as that at the frequency extremes.

At the top end, I let them roll off naturally to be supplemented by Fostex 90A's (no crossover). At the low end, the Hedlund takes them down without strain to about 75Hz, at which point I cross over to BD15s in 'reference' cabinets. Here the crossover is active (TacT 2.2X) and relieves the Lowthers of the burden of trying to cope with very low frequencies.

Cheers Chris
