I'm glad you like your speakers as that is what counts.
Myself I have never heard a single driver design which I liked or sounded like the real thing.
Personally I blame whizzer cones which are horribly distorting in every incarnation I have ever come across.
After my deep disappointment by Lowthers I settled for a Fostex FP253 in a back-loaded horn with a JBL compression tweeter. Those managed piano reasonably well but they were not a patch on my current speakers (fully active and time-aligned 4 ways based around 12" Tannoy DualConcentrics) which reproduce virtually anything with, at times, almost scary realism, good dynamics (planars, nice as they otherwise can be, tend to fail miserably here) and without loosing anything at the frequency extremes.
