Hi there Inclinedplane: Have you posted information on the "mushroom plugs " you fitted to the AN drivers? (link?) as you mentioned above ... regards, Michael
Picked them up from the painters... they did a hell of a job... I'll be gluing the bloodwood inserts in tomorrow, but I figured I'd toss up a few pics..
excuse the dust as the shop is forever spewing it out 😛

Well all, all the wiring is completed and all the inlays are in place.. the last thing left is to rubberize undercoat the bottom of the basses and they are finished..
I had a blast building them and I hope you like them 😀

I gotta think that those could have a pretty high WAF too. Sense of style, combined with small visual footprint.

Only one small thing could have made them any slicker, hiding the cables within an enclosed channel along the spine.

I was torn... but as an artist the cable added another medium and additional texture... I would have had to make certain elements larger to hide the cable and felt it wasn't the right thing to do.......
Its not my kind of style, but its still impressive work
Tho, in all its perfection, its a bit strange you forgot to hide the cable
Or is it mounted that way to prevent vibrations from going into the cable 😀

Hi trusound,
Really cool! Forgive me if you covered this, but is there a woofer that accompanies this very sleek design?

Thank you so much for the compliments!!!!!!!!!!!
this particular pair was purpose built for the client who already had the woofers.. as I build custom pieces per client..
But I am doing a limited run of these with a pair of AE subs incorporated into the base and I'll be starting those very soon
So after a few nights of bugging John at Acoustic Elegance until the wee hours in the morning.. I give you the final concept version of the Blackmore v2 that I will be doing a limited run of.
What is similar to the original Blackmores is the dipole Lowther which will still be the PM6A, but the base will house 2 Lambda 6's with opposing 10inch passive radiators giving a frequency response down to mid 30hz..
This very progressive approach still allows a very sleek, slim and organic design...

Ted Geisel probably would have liked these.

Dr. Suess is my hero so maybe that's why I'm so messed up in the head..lol 😀
Have to agree with allen, look great but surely won't do bass. I tried some EX3's in my open baffles and they sounded thin to say the least, although I must admit they were still requirung some breaking in. Lowthers have fantastic midrange but bass is always a problem. Again I think they look superb and with some 15" woofers tucked away somewhere looks to be a nice project.Fantastic looking frames, but how much bass do you expect to get from unbaffled Lowthers? I suspect SFA.
I'ver never heard good bass from a Lowther unless you build things like the monster "Big Fun Horn" or similar.

Thanks a the compliments Paul...
As stated before, they are not designed nor intended to do bass... these will be mated with subs that my client already has..
