In the Thread: A Moscow setup with Horns/Lowther

Haralanov, it had to say, I think it would be all depends how he use that MF driver. Do not forget that this MF driver, I still insist to call it Lowther has very extended HF. That is different type of HF that is coming from “cigarette filter paper”. It might be impressive for a typical “girl with banjo” but not for a complex dymick music with a lot of intermodulations. It is necessary to know where they cross the Lowther and how much Fostex tweeter hey use. It would be very different result if they cross it at 7.5K vs. 12K.

If I was owner of that system and if my objective were to use that Lowther driver then I would put an upper bass horn in use get rid that superfluous MF horn. The Rulit Lowther would be driver much more gently; the HF driver would be closer to MF center and the re-entry reflection to the got bass drive would be substantially minimized.

I do not know the town of this setup but generally Russians are a bit uptight with all those things. They do not render solutions because some kind of results lead them to it but they employ solution as a decoration of loyally and friendship to different groups. So, it would be difficult to expect from a Russian to make any design change unless he has quarrel at personal level and do not need to keeps somebody asses by using their components. Sing that I do not make any implications: I just portray what is going on common in Russia. BTW, not only in Russia, it is a common behavioral pattern for many Morons in audio….
