Advice sought on Lowthers.

For those of you that don't know Lowthers are single driver high sensitivity dynamic speakers. Anyone used them, owned them, heard them before?? what did you think? Do they stack up? Fo rthose of you who own them what amp do you use? Thanks for your help.

Senorkenessey, the moth stuff *is* nice-looking - personally, i really like the nite-lite! ;~) but, the antique sound labs stuff also looks pretty cool, & is reasonably-priced...

I have ownerd Lowther's before.
Couple things to be aware of:
Bass is not good unless you have a seperate woofer box.[not a sub.They are not fast enough to integrate well with the lowthers.
Real nasty bump at about 2k that you can't get rid of.
Really long break in time in which they sound terrible[some claim up to a year!!]
Interestingly enough,the Moth Cicadea speakers claim to have cured the 2k bump and that might be worth exploring.
Or for the DIY thing,I prefer the Fostex FE sries drivers
although they are not as efficient as Lowthers,they are smoother.

I heard them with Welborne Labs at VSAC, and wasn't really too impressed. I use Focal 165W speakers (custom enclosure)/Tube Research Labs 100 Watt push-pull triode, for comparison sake. There are those that like them, so I guess it is just a matter of preference.
