Herman, you can bet I will, but in the meantime, you have provided me with some very valuable information that will help me make my decision. Thank you.
New Lowther whizzer cone design.
I visited the Lowther America website today, and what did I see there? The announcement of a re-designed whizzer cone on all new Lowther drivers effective immediately. The new whizzer cone has a rolled edge that eliminates the unsupported paper edge of the previous design. This supposedly cures the "Lowther Shout" as some called the midrange peak created by the whizzer cone edge vibrations. This seems very promising and shows that Lowther is taking the steps to improve an already great driver(albeit with a few shortcomings). The competitions in the single driver arena is heating up with AER, REPS, Jordan, LOTH-X, Moth, Fostex, Supraphon, Diatone, Pioneer,etc. vying for market share. Maybe this is forcing Lowther to do what they should have done years ago, but had no pressure to improve when they were almost the only game in town. I would be interested to hear if anyone has heard these new Lowthers with the improved whizzer cone. If it really does cure the "shout" then the Lowthers are really a force to be reckoned with.
