Maybe look for an archived version of Lowther America using the Wayback Machine.
I did not think about the Wayback Machine. From what I just read it's an easy way to get viruses if not careful.
I may still have the download.
I will look and post if I do.
I enjoyed one for years.

I hope you are successful. I have been running three way speakers plus subs, sound is great for sports and movies. I am lookiing for a more streamline music only solution.

That is alarming news! I will look into it...
Enjoy

Thanks Jon, greatly appreciate the information.
LOB (Larger Open Baffle)
The LOB used the B5 crossover, as the bass from the LOB was similar to the TAO without the boost that the B5 gave. Crossover HP was 2nd order at 150 hz, LP 2nd order at 75 hz, both HP and LP in phase. Sounds like it can't work, but the baffle fills in the rest. See Martin Kings website for the math.

Thanks alot John, I recon that you suggested passive crossover for Altec 416 and Lowther PM6a but I can't find it. Do you still keep it?
btw which one do you suggest between PM6a 16Ohm silver VC vs PM5a standard to be use in LOB? assuming both of them will have equal price

A passive crossover can easily be calculated using the same slopes and crossover points as the active crossover. MH-Audio and a number of other sites have calculators to do this for you. mh-audio.nl - Crossover Networks
I prefer the PM5A ONLY if it has the 15 ohm copper voice coil. Nelson Pass prefers the PM6A 15 ohm silver voice coil. Take your chances. 5A is a little more detailed, has more tone and warmth.
