Good morning. So this is a personal apology from me to Mark That he has no idea about. I didn’t bash him on the forums or bully him when he was part of the forums at one time but, Felt bad for him. So with that out of the way here goes. I was excited to get the new drivers from Mark Audio called the Alapir 6P. A 3” inch paper full range driver with a blue cone. I got them and I tested them and didn’t like them to be honest. I traded them with a former friend of mine. I was a Fostex Camp driver man. So years past and I did buy some other mark Audio drivers but, never used them and an acquaintance of mine wanted them So I traded for a nice pair of speakers and that was that. Fast forward when the Mark Audio CHN-50’s Came out and I watched Marks video on you tube about these drivers the design behind them. I bought a pair and made a rear ported box. I turned them on at low volume and they sounded so opposite of my Fostex speakers. I thought maybe something was wrong with them. No they are that neutral everything plays like it should and nothing sticking out with music or bright sounding. Fast forward again years later and am still enjoying the CHN-50’s and now I just bought a new pair of the CHN-P50’s I got for my next Project. So to sum this apology letter up to Mark Audio: I’m Sorry I Judged your metal cone drivers (I was bias, of Metal cones) because of what I have experienced in past times of them being super bright and not easy to listen to. Am Sorry for not giving your speaker drivers a chance to break in and listen to them. Thank you for continuing advancement in your driver’s technology and development. So The CHN-50’s are my go to driver now for best bang for your buck performance. Mark you are one of the most gifted Full range driver Manufacturers and designer and developer in the world. Thanks for all you do for us Diyer’s Mark. The reason am posting this on the forum is maybe someone is still in touch with Mark. I have sent a few e mails and I have heard nothing back. Mark I hope your well and happy and blessed. A buyer and friend for life. Sincerely Jeff.
So YOU'RE the guy!
Mark is living on a deserted island in despair because he found out some guy didn't like his speakers. He doesn't have access to email, but despite the limitations of island life, has made some nice speakers out of coconut shells which he has named the Despair 7.
Apparently, they reproduce the sound of horses hooves on cobbled streets to perfection, but as he has no gear to drive them with, testing has been somewhat limited.

I learn something new everyday. I had no idea Lowther Loudspeakers were due apology. I hope what ever was done to them on the forum to them they can forgive them. Am sorry to hear this happened to such a nice company.
Hi Jeffrey, oh that was my attempt at humor. If you ever delve into the whole Lowther phenomenon, you'll find there are some (like me) who love them, and others who (ahem) maybe haven't heard them (ahem) properly implemented 🙂
Having said that, I find the DX versions unlistenable, LOL.

I kinda figured it was a Joke. 😁. The only thing I know about the Lowther falling out was John that was lowther usa was no longer in Business one day. The day that I was going to ask him about a design going from there to get the right drivers ordered due to an acquaintance friend/sales guy I knew for years. He told me the drivers he bought and what box he used in them. I have been around this forum a long time but, not as long as some key members.
