Beauhorn speakers virtuoso
The tweeter is 8 Ohm and the sensitivity is 95 dB. You don't have to worry about that. You will need to figure out how efficient your Lowther is. I am running the one full range and power to the helper tweeter and the second is running to my Fostex BLH.

Beauhorn Rhapsody B2 review
Audio Forums. The wad was going to be my next venture but Im more than happy with my amp and I fancy a new pair of speakers. As I come froma family of joiners and carpenters and we have plenty of woodworking machinery at work I think doing my own would be the way to go. Plus I can get medite mdf at very reasonable prices. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions???
T-bone Sanchez, Mar 4, First phallacy is that lowthers sound boxy and coloured. I don't think they do. What is true IMHO is that the boxes they so often go in make them sound that way. The bigger the horn the less boxy sounding IME. Basically what I'm trying to say its all in the application with Lowthers, its all in the build of the cabinet.
I haven't heard the Fidelo's so can't comment on them as a design. Secondly, you will be suprised by how little they take to drive. Over 30w is like attaching dynamite - total overkill. Thats all I really wanted to say. I envy you your woodworking skills and Im sure you will end up with an excellent and innovative piece you can be proud of.
NB If you can find plans for Virtuoso's I'd reccomend nicking that design. It sounds great IMO and isnt that room unfriendly. NNB I'd buy the drive units new, because they are thin second hand ones can easily be shagged. Good luck with the project. If you go ahead can we have pictures as you go?

They still sound great in a lot of ways, but you can hear the box with them.
Other advantages with a single 'full range' term used loosely drive unit of course is that there is no crossover.
Top stuff. T-bone Sanchez, Mar 7, Joined: Jul 25, Messages: 31 Likes Received: 0. They produced a wonderful midrange,musically you are there, highs where good but base while very musical lacked omph! There is lots of information on the Audio Asylum web site, under high efficiency.
Have fun, Bob. Hi, I have heard many Lowthers and related drivers. Lowthers where originally designed to be hornloaded with a front horn. Leave that off and invariably the supposedly "Lowther Sound" develops, with an emphasied upper midrange and waek fundamental region but a midbass that comes back. It leads also to a degree to the common shout.
The only Lowthers I have heard and which I could live with incorporate a fronthorn. That is from the actual Lowther Enclosures the Audiovector needs pacing against the wall and a reflector though , the Opus 1 and the TP1. Among the Non-Lowthers the Beauhorn Virtuoso is the one of choice and I feel it gives all the above do and then some.
I do like the Hoerning Speakers but they are in some ways a sideway move and dropping the Lowther for a different driver eg Audax PRM0 would not make them much different really. Unbalanced Sound. I heard Lowthers in the older Rethm designs before they switched to Supravox drivers , barely tolerable.
So, basically, unless you are willing to go for a solution incorporating a fairly large front horn you are better off leaving Lowthers be. It is very frustrating to live with something that is exceptiona in some cases and exceptionally bad in others. Ciao T. Interesting point of view there. Ive been invited to listen to some lowthers so that'll give me an idea. At the moment I wont be using lowthers, Ive decided to build my first example using fostex e's, their latest 8" full range driver, this is getting very good reviews from users in the US and seems to be a much easier driver to work with and alot cheaper.
Im pretty sure I wont be using a hord design at all, there appears to be much more success with quarter-wave TL's such as these www. It early days at the moment and Im just looking forward to getting something off the ground. T-bone Sanchez, Mar 14, There far too many users of these full-range driver designs to say they dont work or are hit-and-miss.
Im ploughing on with mine. T-bone Sanchez, Mar 15, Hi Thorsten. I think I met you briefly at the Heathrow show in or I forget which. You had the system shown in the picture, and the lady above was there your partner I guess?
The music playing at the time was a disk that came with hifi news a year or two earlier. I know because I have a copy! I enjoyed the open baffle speakers. They made an enjoyable and clean sound I thought. I thought perhaps the horn tweeter was a little close - and therefore over exhuberant. Perhaps a bigger room would have done them more justice.
With your experiences with single ended amps, horn speakers, high sensitivity and vinyl, we do seem to like the same sort of thing. I'll say hello if you're at the next heathrow show in a few weeks? Cheers Chris NB Particularly interested in your comments regarding phono stages. I'd love to hear what you've managed to do here. Joined: Sep 20, Messages: Likes Received: 0. Which are good drivers are to use? I've just ordered a couple of weenie Tangband W3's as a 'proof of concept' thing and may move up to bigger speakers in the future if they do it for me.
The trouble is there's a huge number of drivers available, form the cheaper Moth, Fostex etc. It's so confusing. Show Ignored Content.

New SET/Horn Convert
The new Plasma Signature is the culmination of all we have in learned in the last 15 years of speaker design. I have always loved the dipole panel speaker design with its big, natural soundstage along with an addictively open and airy sound. My challenge was that I also loved my Wavelength Cardinal XS amplifiers with Western Electric B tubes with their musically natural and soul-engaging sound. Now I had determined two requirements for my system, but they were incompatible. So I kept the amps and decided to develop my own efficient dipoles with the encouragement and help of Gordon Rankin of Wavelength. Plus, many customers prefer the line array performance attributes in a system with subwoofers built in. So the design and trials continued.
Beauhorn Virtuoso horn loudspeakers with Lowther DX4
The Beauhorn Virtuoso is considered by many to be the ultimate Lowther loudspeaker design. And it was certainly worth the trip! Being a single driver guy, I had been looking for a Lowther system for quite a while. And in many ways these are the penultimate. It presents some of the most realistic sound I have heard.
Full range loudspeakers i.e. Single driver...any love?
Bought from manufacturer Oct , ex-demo model. Cabinets lightly worn and marked in places, have to look close. Overall aspec good - see photos. Lowther driver perfect condition. Original packaging.

Post by Dave the bass » Mon Feb 14, pm. Post by izzy wizzy » Mon Feb 14, pm. Post by Lee S » Mon Feb 14, pm. Post by chris » Mon Feb 14, pm. A transmission line loudspeaker is a loudspeaker enclosure design which uses the topology of an acoustic transmission line within the cabinet, compared to the simpler enclosures used by sealed closed or ported bass reflex designs. Instead of reverberating in a fairly simple damped enclosure, sound from the back of the bass speaker is directed into a long generally folded damped pathway within the speaker enclosure, which allows far greater control and use of speaker energy and the resulting sound. Inside a transmission line TL loudspeaker is a usually folded pathway into which the sound is directed. The pathway is often covered with varying types and depths of absorbent material, and it may vary in size or taper, and may be open or closed at its far end.

Very good condition Beauhorn Virtuoso cabinets with Lowther DX4 16 ohm drivers complete with large mushroom shape wooden phase plugs. These loudspeakers are considered by many to be the ultimate in Lowther loudspeaker design. They have a claimed efficiency of dB and are a perfect match for low output amplifiers such as SET B or 2A3 amplifiers.

Beauhorn web site December : The long search is over. If, once again, your dissatisfaction with conventional Hi-Fi components has you searching for the true sound of the musical performance, seek no more.. The traditional path to musical nirvana is long, full of frustrations and disappointments, and is ultimately unrewarding. The continual buying and selling of components is both expensive and wasteful. But choose our world renowned Virtuoso loudspeaker, its stunning new sibling the B2.
