All modern Lowthers that I've heard at shows are well below what vintage units, lovingly cared for and properly implemented, are capable of. If you've only heard new ones, at shows or in audio showrooms, you don't have a proper reference for Lowther capabilities. Not to say that the new ones can't be made to sound good, I've just never heard it.
Best not to damn the whole brand based on limited experience. Honestly, I thought they were 'crap' too, until I delved a little further. Now I wouldn't live without them. Sure, you can't just hook them to any amp in any room and expect nirvana, they're fussier than that. If you don't want to bother with them, that's one thing, but to dismiss them as 'horrible' is simply incorrect.
