Quirky Cool

There are time when a strange coincidence just grabs your attention and you ask yourself "Now what was that about?". I just had one of those when I read two different articles from two different sources discussing two different speaker manufacturers making speakers based off of the same quirky driver. The first article I found was from 6moons.com, and the second while reading through the February Stereophile (yes I know I am a bit behind). Both of the articles discussed speakers made using drivers from Lowther.

I guess that what caught my attention with these speakers was that they both had a unique look to them, and from what I read the Lowther drivers have their own character. I like things that are quirky, don't ask me why. Now I have never heard Lowther drivers, but from what I understand they are wide band drivers and intended to be driven full range. Supposedly they have amazing mid range abilities that really bring music to life, but are lacking on the low end. The articles talk about dealing with these challenges, as well as the whole Lowthar feel. I found them quite interesting.
