Just thought I would bring up this puzzling experience. The little Loth's are a SD back horn Loaded speaker with a tweeter that comes in very high and no xover. It has a nice musical sound but what is odd is using it with several tube amps that work phenomenally well with the Altecs and the Pi's it never really sang. In order to cut down on the heat for the hot months I replaced the tubes with my trusty old Carver TFM 35 amp. The BS 1's came alive; much more coherent and firm with better frequency extremes. Just more alive.
The Carver sounds terrible on the big two-ways; so go figure? I was on the verge of selling the BS 1's too. Now I am intriqued.
