Buck up, Yoshi. I get what you are saying about "yellow", but this sort of de-construction excercise can be done with any driver.
For one thing, 3 cu. ft is way too big. If you must have a box, try 1/2 that size.
I think the Lowther [sic] trails off below 400 Hz without help, but I also think it is fine to well over 2k, sans whizzer.
Likely you have seen and/or heard Tommy Horning's big speakers. He does some interesting Lowther-based stuff that pretty well gets around some of the classic Lowther problems; however, he winds up with clearly audible cabinet colorations.
There are ALWAYS trade-offs.
Naturally, not everyone who hears the Reps thinks it is "better" than some other Lowthers, and naturally it is all system and situation dependent, and a matter of taste.
So what?
What is RIGHT with this driver?
Focus on/work with that, already.
Best regards,
Paul S
