Lowther drivers (Alnico based drivers in particular) sound STUNNINGLY good in open baffle application. I have many many full/wide range drivers (almost all eight inchers) that I have used in bass reflex, Transmisson line, front and back horns. I accidently tried a pair of Lowther drivers in a just built pair of JE Labs open baffles prior to packing up these particular Lowthers for sale. Well, I still have these Lowther drivers but now in a more attractive and narrower open baffle backed up by a pair of Tone Tubby Alnico Hemp cones from 200 HZ and below. I still choose to allow my Lowthers' to run full range though. Keep in mind when running eight inch Lowthers in the JE Labs baffles you will need help from a subwoofer close to around 100 HZ and below. I still use a pair of subs with my Lowther/TT setup. I will likely never go back to a non-open baffle setup again. There is just soooo much more real life there. Most of my other full/wide range drivers also sound their best in open baffles.
