Ale and Goto make compression drivers and the Lowther is a cone driver. There are some similarities, in that both have diaphragms that are driven by a voice coil. But diaphragm material, suspension and thrust point are different. Cone drivers generally have greater surface area and compression drivers are built so they can withstand higher pressure.
