⭕ This pair of Lowther Hegeman Reproducer horn speakers is in fantastic condition and sounds amazing.Set comes with the original green back PM4 drivers that have been restored to their original 1950s style square frames.
They were built to precise specifications as provided in the original plans using marine grade plywood-all vital joints were dove-tailed and tightly bonded. Veneer is high-grade teakwood of 3/32 thickness with a hand rubbed oil finish.There may very well be no other pair in existance with this teak finish.
Cabinet Condition-The cabinets of the Lowther Hegeman were luckily in phenomenal shape for their age.There were no rings,stains,scratches or gouges.The finish was is little dry and the areas were the woodgrain lines are show a slight raise.Also there is a slight variation of color between the two cabinets because of their placement in the original owners house and proximity to the incoming natural light.Using a light coast of Howards Restor-A-Finish we were able to bring them back to very good condition.The luster and color of the teakwood is outstanding.All of the original seals on the cabinet and plaster-of-paris horn have been replaced.
Bass Cabinet Illumination-As per the factory build plans-the bottom of each Lowther-Hegeman cabinet is a small removable panel.Inside is a light-bulb and fixture attached to a long stand.It seems as a final touch to the Lowther-Hegeman system an illumination source,which provides just enough light to cast shadows of the louvered bass cabinet,to set ambience and really accentuate the beauty of one of the most incredible speaker designs of all time! Both the bulb and fixture date back to 50s.This set has one light-bulb and is missing the other-it is a bayonet style lamp and should not be hard to find a substitute if the new owners desires the illumination
