And I have found the exact opposite as well as everybody who has heard these locally.. all say the same thing.. effortless..colorless.. and I have converted people who swore off not just Lowther's but widebands in general..
The Le Cleach that I heard a 2ish years ago sounded .. bright.. and in your face.. did instruments very well but when it came to listening to normal music it failed miserably.. the same goes with the Avant Guards I heard as well..
not my cup of tea..
It's odd.
A horn is supposed to provide some gain in the lower operating range of the combo, so horn loaded drivers usually sound (and measured) fuller, warmer, or colored, darker, slower if not integrated well...
I haven't experienced any driver that is brighter with horn. (Of course my experiences are limited.)

sure it extends freq range.. but I have never heard a horn that was any of those descriptions that you provided.. infact..the opposite.. from the 2 horns that I mentioned.. I also sat in front of the edgar horns a few years back in bruce's personal listening room.. all very similar in specific traits..
Now I haven't had the pleasure of sitting in front of earl's speakers yet, but from the people who I trust and have heard them first hand say they are by far the least horn like application they have ever heard.. and his foam plug from what I have read cures all or most of the ailments that I describe..
seems many still "forgets" it

Hello,
would be nice to see the measurement and imp, than.
here a lowther measurement of the Hobby Hifi Jornal
published by AER ! on IEC standard baffle, a test of the plug
take look,

because of the acoustic short circuit in your construction
a measurement would be interesting.

I must have missed this thread when it originated. You need woofers that can climb pretty high to make it work, not simple subwoofers. And some frequency correction. To make the woofer gel well witht he Lowther is another complexity.
This seems an interesting approach for experimenting with active filtering and minidsp.

Great work Truesound! 
These are very beautiful and are more sculpture than audio - I may have missed it but is their shape or form used for any acoustical advantage other than placement up high without nearby supports to cause diffraction or reflections. I would be very interested to see the measurements too - especially angular or polar dependence of frequency response.
