C1
- Positioning: An integrated active system designed for plug‐and‐play simplicity and seamless connectivity.
- Description: Features a built-in DSP crossover, a separate DAC preamp, and dedicated power amplifiers in a complete floorstanding unit with a classic piano lacquer finish. Compared to traditional passive systems like the Liszt II and other high‐end models, the C1 offers a streamlined setup ideal for smaller rooms and a lower budget while still delivering high-quality sound.
Liszt II
- Positioning: A 4-way horn system focused on delivering dynamic realism with all built-in components.
- Description: Integrates frontloaded bass horns driven by large papercone and alnico drivers along with a novel spherical composite midrange horn, ensuring clear and lively reproduction. Compared to the integrated C1, follows a traditional passive design that is lighter and more suited for moderately sized rooms than the heavier, more complex 5-way systems.
Gamma II
- Positioning: A versatile 5-way horn setup that offers flexible bass horn configurations for refined live-sound reproduction.
- Description: Provides multiple bass horn options—including configurations with up to eight power amplifiers—combined with spherical composite horns and advanced TAD drivers for agile low-frequency performance. Compared to the Beethoven II, its configurable design and slightly more compact build offer buyers a customizable performance alternative without the extreme scale of the ultimate system.
Beethoven II
- Positioning: A high-end 5-way loudspeaker system engineered to emulate the acoustics of live concert halls.
- Description: Uses built-in frontloaded horns for every frequency band, featuring TAD compression drivers with beryllium diaphragms and bespoke composite horns to closely mirror live performance. Compared to the Gamma II, the Beethoven II is larger and heavier.
Omega I
- Positioning: An ultimate reference loudspeaker system designed for vast, dedicated listening spaces.
- Description: Achieves 112dB/1W/1m efficiency using an array of massive 16" bass units driving frontloaded horns, delivering exceptional dynamic range and power. Relative to all other models, the Omega I demands an auditorium-like environment.

Our interview with the brand
What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?
Firstly: Most prominently, our spherical horn technology with its precisely calculated wave-launch accounts for a unique appearance, outstanding (typically 104+ dBs/W/m) efficiency, and a favorably controlled sound dispersion in any room and environment. This gives our speakers an objet d'art character and makes amplifier choice a straightforward task: it’s all about sound quality, not about wattage.
Secondly: With launching the G3 series speakers, the range is optionally available in fully active versions, with the horn section powered by a breakthrough innovation regarding the membranes' displacement control: the proprietary iTRON current-drive amplifier technology. Executed in single-ended push-pull, fully Class-A, and zero-feedback topology, iTRON is the ideal and logical choice for offering not just conveniently connectable powered speakers but to consequently provide a musical experience beyond what is possible with customary voltage amplifier technology.
What's your approach to customer support?
Our customer support consists of a network of stipulated regional service providers and a central coordinating office at the factory for prompting the most effective procedures. Standardly, our local instances will be the recommended and most effective support channel (e.g., because of a time zone offset to Germany), while in specific cases, e.g., with "vintage support," our own team of experienced specialists may of course be addressed for appropriate advice and servicing.
What are your favorite tracks for showcasing the strength of your products?
Showcasing the famous Allman Brothers Band in an astonishingly intimate frame, on stage in a rather small club (while filling stadiums, usually), is the track "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" from the record An Evening With The Allman Brothers Band – 2nd Set, recorded live in LA around 1992. Listened to by a dynamically capable and highly resolving speaker like from our range, the skillful, fun-driven playing, the vibrant atmosphere, and the cheering public make a "be there" experience par excellence. Ten minutes and fifteen seconds that fly.
Leopold Stokowski's famous Rhapsodies collection from 1960 (on Living Stereo, recorded at Manhattan Center) still holds surprises! While considered to be a "nice recording" anyway by many, especially true for the Liszt "Hungarian Rhapsody No.2," listeners who become exposed to the recording through our speakers realize far greater "ebb and flow" contrast in the orchestra's fantastic playing. At realistic concert level? As you please!
Meraki's "La Fong" track has driven people to tears (of joy…) where one would never think that this is the kind of music they'd fancy. Powerhouse electronic music that combines thrilling dynamics with a wonderful sense of space that does not merely scatter sounds into thin air but makes them glitter. A special, almost limitless trip when listened to by the right set of speakers.
What other products pair best with yours?
Especially in combination with our iTRON amplifiers, the co-branding question does not need an "exclusive" answer. Rather, it deserves an "inclusive" answer, as the high degree of control over the musical result ensured by horns and current-drive has generated feedback from our network that attests many excellent (no matter if praised for a specific strength or for an overall sound balance) source components to make a truly "shining" contribution.

About the brand
Our interview with the brand
What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?
We have an exemplary reputation for producing single-range drivers that do not use crossovers. We have been in business since the 1930s. Many other companies have copied us, but none are our equal.
What's your approach to customer support?
We do not use conventional distribution/retail models. The majority of our products are manufactured to order. We use a number of trade representatives and what we term as boutique dealers for countries outside of the UK. We would normally ask a customer to refer themselves to our local representative in the first instance, as they can then ascertain what assistance the customer may require before they go to any unnecessary expense. Support, however, is controlled via our UK operation. For example, we may issue replacement products directly, supply our representatives with OEM parts for them to fit locally, or generally offer advice.
We pride ourselves that having purchased Lowthers in 2018, we have worked very hard on customer support with a no-quibble warranty. We have re-introduced the Lowther for Life scheme. Once you are a Lowther customer, we will do our level best to ensure that you remain a Lowther customer for the rest of your life.
What are your favorite tracks for showcasing the strength of your products?
Spanish Harlem – Rebecca Pidgeon (Chesky) – voice accuracy, instrument placement, depth of soundstage.
Wallace – Drive-By Truckers – dynamic range, visceral power.
Segue in C / bdb – Basie/Ellington (The First Time) – Duke on the left, Count on the right, spacious CBS studio recording.
What other products pair best with yours?
Lowther 'total sound philosophy' – matched with PX4 and our interconnects. Well set-up Lowthers will reveal weaknesses in the 'front end,' so phono/digital source should be carefully set up. Likewise, interconnects will vary tonal balance greatly.
Veracity Chrysalis pre-amp/DAC (if you can find one).
Raspberry Pi (Allo Digi hat, or similar) digital endpoint from server/file storage, JRiver library management.
Clean, modestly powered 'push-pull' amp: EL34 Howes / Leak S20.
Big REL subwoofer.
