Of all the years on all the tube rigs I have heard.. Lowther dipole is the only way I'll go...

Notes:  The silverlines have a very elegant finish!  The lowther are very cool...unique looking objet d' arte.

The Lowthers look great :)

No issues with low end extension?

Thanks Jim...

These were special made to mate with the owner's current setup.. They are actively crossed over at 330hz @6db and the 10's take over from there..

Once you hear a driver like this totally free of box and baffle coloration you will never go back.. it's seriously that good and I'll never use a Lowther any other way..

I have a 2way in the works that will be an everybody solution   :eyebrows:

I have a love affair with full-range speakers, I use my Whiplash ions which use a 3" full-range driver with my Audiospace mini tube amp as a nearfield computer set-up and on my main set-up I use tektons ob4.5 ,which I'm selling incase anyone is interested, paired with another audiospace mini in my living room. I love them I want to try some horns next which I'm going to attempt to build with the help of my uncle who is a carpenter.

My Eggleston Fontaines driven by a pair of Audio Mirror 45 Watt SET monos (augmented with a pair of ss amped ACI Titan subs) ... sort of like disembodied Andras, sort of ...
