[joe845]

Hi Nelson,
sorry to disturb you. I have seen a photo with an OB composed from an Eminence and a wide band.

At the moment I am having fun with Voxatives and woofers in OB's.

Voxatives ...... just too straight and simple

where is challenge in that

(money involved doesn't counts as challenge)

Real Mighty Ones are using drivers from Cabasse Dinghy 221

that's kosher wakoo

Those voxativ drivers look like clones of Lowther at least in regard to the shape of the cones/whizzer, phase plug shape, and the frame.
If they are cheaper than Lowther I'd be interested having a play with them.

Edit: Just saw the price. I'm out. Hahahahaha

I believe the Voxatives are the descendants of the AER drivers, which
back in the day were Lowther clones, "but made properly by Germans."

I think these are better than the Lowthers and the AERs, however they are
fairly expensive.

well , eons ago , when I stopped caring for Lowthers , it resulted (or was coincidental) in opening of my third eye

now , when I'm older , I'm feeling opening of my third ear ....... so even more sucker for all speakers ........ but they're either in front of me , or on my shelves



ok , now seriously - speaker must be more friendly (less demanding ) in basic/native form , than "your usual " Lowther

speaking of "properly made" ........ Germans forgot mucho more knowledge about speakers , than it was (needed to be) invested in their AER iteration of Lowther

there was , now defunct , site called vintage german loudspeakers (com) ....... what I had opportunity to hear of Lautsprechers presented there , and what else we could see there ....... it's simply frightening what old geezers were able to made in Yore and , with all my love for FR and Lowther , they're (Lowther) just stuck in time , eons ago

I could agree on that level of quality and craftsmanship , for 15% of price , no more

just a glimpse of what I'm speaking of germ. spks. site , still can be seen on Klangfilm Home!

regarding Voxatives ... way outa my league (money-wise).......... and - what I can see from pictures, now - whatever they say , it's well backed in execution

when that is in question , I'm never objecting (any) price


ok , 'nuff babling , time for nap

IMO /observation the Reality of German engineering *actually* being world leading. Ended with the Last V2 launch.
Very little since has actually been worthy of the claim.
