Another few months and the guy from Moscow have another change:

http://www.soundup.ru/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4296:2014-01-09-11-48-09&catid=91:2013-&Itemid=111 

The text shall be translatable, even though I was not able to activate the translator.

I am not impressed with the direction Alex is going; neither have I understood what he is doing. Well, I think I do understand what he is doing, but I degree with it. From the article it appears that Alex plays mostly small jazz, the proverbial “a girl with banjo”, so it looks like he is looking for that science of “audio-immediacy.“ There is nothing wrong with it and the overloaded Lowthers would do it just fine.

What is interesting in the article is the desire of the author to explain how the Alex’s bass sound. It is time-misaligned, semi-open baffle array with 15” electromagnets driven by SS. The authors, the owner of the site does have a tendency to brash mediocrity with glamour language. It might or not might the case this time. I personally predict that I would not be impressed with Alex’s bass. It is semi-open baffle that starched from 20Hz to 200Hz with one channel… Hm…, I do not believe in it. He uses different combination of bass drivers driven from the same amp, it is interesting but not effective in bass. I do not  say that it looks to me that the mouth of the bass horns would not support anything under 80-90Hz per channel and with open back I presume that his bass drivers go dipole at 40-50Hz.

So, I am not impressed so far. It looks to me that Alex obviously frustrated and keep doing something but it does not yet compiled into one unified sensible audio expression.
