Great post Tom. I especially appreciated the part about Lowthers and Voight pipes. In comparison, the aforementioned are toys compared to real horns like the Vitavox, Altec, JBL, and even Klipsch (while Klipsch are not my favourite sounding speakers, Khorns can sound quite good with some minor crossover modifications and the right electronics). Dinky little drivers, such as Lowthers, in relatively tiny boxes just cannot move enough air to portray the full dynamics and weight of a symphony orchestra or other complex musical pieces(never mind their lack of real bass). While I do agree that Lowther based speakers do sound quite nice with the proper program music, they simply do not portray the sense of a live musical event like large dynamic horns (unless its a chamber ensemble or solo performance).
