How do Corals compare to Lowthers and which Lowthers are you using?

I know Lowther sound very well, but never heard Corals.

Hi Bartek,

I didn't hook up the Coral with the F2 clone yet. I would say that the tonal character of Coral and my Lowther is quite similar. Except that Lowther has a more refined sound.

Forgot to tell mine is PM2C.

You and Steen have some really jaw dropping F2 clones, congrats!!!

Wow! more members coming to F-club.

Happy X-mas !!!

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Now that Steen has ironed out some last glitches of the circuit I have updated the schematic for anyone interested on this fabulous current source amplifier.

That schematic works allright For me at least Thanks Tony

btw,your amp is ugly!

Yeah, I know Choky, but it sings allright Those 5 watts are just great I might be stuck in the F-club

Yeah . . . we find out the sweetest firstwatt inside 5W.
The F-club is a real monster club.

Happy New Year !!!!!!

Reading up a little in this thread I saw someone wanting a price on Lowthers. Of course the price sheet is on the web site, but if there was a group buy there would be additional savings.

And the F2 and DX55 combo is just killer.

if there was a group buy there would be additional savings.

Thanks a lot Mr. Ver Halen Most kind of you.
Is any other F-club members ready to jump in on this? Or anybody else, for that matter The Lowthers arent excactly cheap, but once you invest in a pair, you will have something to play around with for a long time Consider all the different and exciting boxes you can build and listen to

I too would like to add my thanks to Mr. Ver Halen for his generous offer. The DX55 is definitely a speaker that's been on my wish list for a long time.

Group buys tend to be long and complex affairs especially when there are different options available and/or large sums of money are involved.

That said I am interested in finding out more details of what would be possible.

Regards,
Graeme

Just to put things in perspective. I can do 15% off if you can put an order together for 5 pair of drivers, 20% off for a group buy of 10 pairs of drivers or more. Shipping in US would be free, international shipping would be extra, normally in the neighborhood of $70 depending on where they are to be shipped, insurance, and speed required.

If a group buy is put together I can collect the money directly rather than through the group, making it a little easier for everyone. PayPal or credit cards would be accepted. The only drawback is that if there are a large number of orders for a single driver, such as the DX55, I may run out of stock. This would result in a 2 month delay for the later orders. Credit cards would only be charged upon shipment.

Hope you can put something together!

Hope you can put something together!

Mr. Ver Halen, so do I The terms you listed sounds really good to me Thanks again for this very nice offer I have to ask you this though; What if people wants different units? The norm is that it's nearly impossible to agree on a single driverunit when it comes to a group buy Would it be okay to order different makes within this groupbuy? I am very happy about you wanting to handle the orders. I believe that is the right way to proceed
Thanks again

Any mix or match of drivers is acceptable. You can even include the used PM4A's that are available. Special orders can be done as well - you can order 15 ohm silver voice coil DX55's if that is what you want, but it will take an extra 2 months to get them. As long as there is a miniumum of 5 pairs ordered.

Now that should make it easy for ya!
