yeah it's actually difficult to get some real performance curves. You
need an anechoic chamber and a calibrated microphone/signal

If Lowther (or any other similar manufacturer) thought such curves could sell drivers, they would be available in intricate detail, and in every possible configuration. As it stands, there are a goodly amount of published curves out there on these drivers - conveniently truncated from 900 Hz to 10,000 Hz. There is nothing wrong with a speaker that is so-limited *AS LONG AS* the builder understands what he/she will be getting fully and completely. Were I to be restricted to listening only to Gregorian Chant, and were permitted only a 3-watt amplifier, I suspect I would be first in line for such systems. However. I am blessed not to be so-limited.

I was simply hoping that Andre, after his ringing endorsement of these speakers had the wherewithal to back his claims. But, no such luck.
