Not all drivers with whizzers shout.My Fostex drivers with whizzers don't shout. Ditto my Hemptone. Or my big Goodmans Axiom 201. They also don't have the aliveness of a Lowther either.
Having said that... I once cut off the whizzers on my DX55 Lowthers and it removed the shout. It also removed a large part of the highs/aliveness. But, it made for an excellent transition to a tweeter... as do some other less expensive drivers- so perhaps a failed experiment.
Only my Feastrex D5nf has the aliveness of the Lowther without the shout. However, they not perfect either. Like most small "fullrangers" they are challenged with large scale macro dynamics and frequency extremes (all fullrangers). And unfortunately they are also the most expensive.
