HI Martin,
Thanx for the pointer on the lowther models. Since you have obviously had experience with both Fostex & Lowther, your views on the differences between them are meaningful. Based on your website, it seems the lowthers are more revealing. I guess it would help me & others if you could further elaborate on the following, based on your experience:
1. Many people on the web say lowthers are not great for a BR design, that they need horns. A Qts of 0.33 for the PM6C is not too bad though. Have you ever built a BR box for a lowther that has been satisfactory?
2. Does a well designed TL box, as described on on your website give better bass than a well designed BR box? I read somewhere else that a TL design does that, but i haven;t really gotten into the theory. I suspect a lot of us, starting out on a project, would like to know this, since the cost of the TL and the BR would be about the same. Further, how would this compare to a "simple" horn design...i'm thinking like a front firing horn.
3. Finally, i have read on the net that lowthers have high variances in manufacturing. Have you found quality to be an issue in Lowthers, versus Fostexes?
thanx!
