I have Lowther DX4s and I use them in Hedlund Horns and also on open baffles. In both cases I high pass (70 - 100 hz) the Lowthers and use a sub/woofers underneath. Keeping the low frequency material out of the Lowthers keeps the midrange free of doppler distortion enabling them to play at high sound levels very cleanly. The dynamics are stunning. Therefore, they can play "metal" quite successfully. Clearly I am using my Lowther drivers as wide range drivers instead of full range drivers. But this is best anyways.
There are people who get bass down to the 30s with the Lowthers in certain backhorns, such as the Big Fun Horn. I have not heard these speakers though. I still think that highpassing the Lowthers is best.
