Summary:
I built the cabinet myself by the plan from Lowther america. I was surprise how much the different when I heard it the first time and after 500 hours of using. The sound it produce in mid and high is better than any other loudspeaker I have ever heard in my life. The draw back it has is the volume of bass. After learning from the theory of designing horn, I found out that the cabinet design has too much compromise. This cause the low frequency to come out so little compare to the super high sensitivity of midrange and high. I give the 4 rating just because I think that the bass and mid to high is not match. But the sound quality is superb. The soundstage is just like the real life music playing in front of your listening session. I have listened to other over price loudspeaker such as Wilson Audio WATT/PUPPY, revel, Eggleston, Thiel and B&W 801. None of them can present the music of the Lowther at all. I am now designing my own horn for this PM2A. It will have lower frequency response and have the least compromise as possible.

Strengths:
Mid & high frequency

Weaknesses:
Too much compromise on cabinet design that effects bass output

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
