I've heard the 3rd Rethms before and was impressed with the mids and highs. However excellent they were they could not overcome the lack of bass.Good to see that Jacob (very much an enthusiast and actually answers questions) recognized that the Dx55 is a midrange driver and added bass drivers to the 3rds. This is not a novel approach as Horning speakers incorporate bass drivers too. And the Horning speaker I heard has very interesting dynamics in the midrange unlike most <92db speakers. The Lowther seems to resolve the range between 150 to 1000Hz better than most low efficency drivers.
I've a pair of the DX55 it has the magic. I'm trying to front load (perhaps a short throw waveguide?) it somehow without wrecking the top end.
