Romy, the main driver in this acoustic system has nothing to do with the funny Lowthers. It is very high class field coil speaker unit made by Oleg Rullit. The owner of the system has tried the highest class of the Feastrex line of widerange drivers - D9eIII, but he prefers the Oleg Rullit's because it better renders musical intonations. Here is a photo of the Feastrex driver in the same horn.
Thanks, Haralanov for the information. I did not know it but in realty  it does not change anything as from pint of view system design, architecturally Lowthers, Feastrex, Feastrex and anything else 8” soft suspended direct radiators are in the very same camp. Oleg Rullit migh be “high class” but there was a lot of talk that Feastrex is head and shoulders above Lowthers. In reality it is not and although Feastrex has some advantages but it also same the same set of problems. I am not familiar with Oleg Rullit drivers, he does stimulating things on the pictures but it is very difficult to estimate what sonic consequences his efforts have. The majority of the people I have seen that use Rullit drivers are Morons in my estimation and I extend zero credibility to them. For instance the guy who made the horn for that Moscow setup, I know of him, is a very avidLowthers follower and he pitch for years to use Lowthers full range in back loaded horn and according to him there is no other way to “get sound”. as far I concern one single comment like this discredit person judgment.

I would not have any problem if the Moscow guy does use Lowthers. Lowther-like drivers might be very good if it used on very narrow band path and not going too low. It possible that Rullit’s diver can go 30Hz lower then Lowthers, so what, I still feel that a complementary upper bass channel is begging to be used in this system.
