Attention Lowther owners DX3 vs. DX4

I have recently inserted a pair of new DX3's into my Lamhorn cabinets and as they breakin I am surprised how much I like them. I was prepared for all the nasties (lowther shout, lack of bass ect) but it has me thinking what the DX4 might bring to the table. My Lamhorns came with AER Mk3's which sound incredible and very smooth and have better bass than DX3's. I love both drivers, the lowthers are more dynamic.

Question what sonically is the difference between the DX3 & DX4's? Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi Isochronism,
Tube amps seem to love higher impedance speaker loads.I`m surprise your amps match better with the 8 ohm load rather than the 16 ohm load.Is it that your amps are 8 ohm and don`t have a 16 ohm tap? just curious, which of your amps do you prefer with your speakers?I bet this system sounds really fine.

Thanks Brett,
You have such high sensitive speakers, you need hardly any gain from your preamp for good volume levels.My speaker is a 14 ohm load and sounds better at my amp`s 16 ohm tap compared to the 8 ohm.Bet your amplifiers would also sound excellent and really sing with your 16 ohm drivers in play.That`d be a fun comparison between those two different drivers.
