Lowther Loudspeaker Systems Ltd. released its first speaker in 1934, a decade in the making. The sleeping giant of single driver fame has awakened once more with the Almira, their first new speaker in 3 decades.
The Almira employ Lowther’s DX3 full range driver paired with a handmade 20mm dome super tweeter in a classic quarter-wave Voigt horn with a floor-facing exit. The Almira is made from responsibly sourced Birch plywood and comes in a number of veneer options including a very limited edition Rosewood.
“The Almira is the first new speaker Lowther has designed in over 30 years,” says Lowther’s managing director, Martin Thornton. “We wanted to make a statement that Lowther is back whilst acknowledging and embracing our heritage. We believe horn-loaded loudspeakers present the highest level of musical reproduction and with Almira, we are addressing the challenges of modern digital re-production without sacrificing the traditional Lowther values.”
The Lowther Almira are sold in numbered pairs with a retail price starting at £12,000.
