I already had it. I've used it for several years as mains for my small folk/celtic band, as well as solo gigs. I guess it never occured to me to try it as a home stereo speaker before. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it works, and how flat it measures as well. Dave

I have rocked to my Coral Beta 8 in BLH plus subs and supertweeters, but true, they become a bit strained at high volumes. On the other hand Lowther PM2A´s in 200hz tractrix fronthorns with a 15" sealed woofer can really rock. This setup plays everything from Metallica to Ben Webster. I wonder if the muddying goes on in the lower midrange, which would explain why the fronthorns doesn´t sound strained, or if it´s just the great efficiency that´s the key. Right now I´m building the 7Pi´s, looking forward to big open dynamic sound from an all horn loaded speaker. And putting the fullrangers in another room for more delicate listening.

Kim, I am also running Lowther/Coral Beta 8 in 200hz Azura horns. Could you please provide more information on the 15" sealed woofer you use in your setup. I am trying to find bass solution for my setup which will integrate well with the horn. Rafal

Hi Rafal. I used a cheap 15" woofer in a 85litre sealed cabinet, but I had to use a lot of eq to make it go down low. You can proberly find a 15" that would work a lot better and go lower in a reasonable size cabinet. I´m gonna build Wayne´s 7Pi and try to use that bass cabinet with the fronthorns. Regards Kim
