Been There Done That, Over and Over and Over Again. I absolutely agree that the B Horn was the best of this genre, but I have moved waaaay beyond this type of cabinet with my stable of Lowther and other wide band drivers.
OB top with your choice of attached low frequency augmentation down below. I use a pair of specially designed RAAL Dipole Ribbons to enhance the "OK" highs of my big wide banders. No filters on the Lowthers/wide banders.

Lance, I've heard such OBs at shows (Pass's and others) and they never sound right to me. They always sound very thin in the presence region which is an absolute killer for me. Perhaps this is something that can be fixed with xover/EQ but the tall-thin widebander (Lowther) baffle with helper woofer coming in at 100-200 Hz just never sounds good to me personally.. yours may be different.
Forget about Lowther's for a bit. When a combination wide bander OB/bass augmentation (it's actually waaaay more than augmentation though when done right) is correct, then there just AINT NO thinness and or lack of lifelike weight and tone. I use many very high quality wide range drivers to accomplish this goal, Lowthers included.
