IIRC, the Lowther's are typically used in single-driver configuration ported boxes and highly sought after by the flea-watt SET congregation.

He had it in a Hegeman Reproducer, unfortunately the cabinet is long gone. I'm looking either getting it restored or trading it in on a pair of new ones.

Really taking a hard look at Lowther speakers right now. They are expensive though
