What happened to Loth-X?


I have noticed that Loth-X simply has one distributor, who keeps most of the information about their offerings current, but the link to the manufacturer is no longer functional. As the owner of a BS-1 a while back and still interested in all sort of full range single driver concoctions, I wonder what has become of these speakers. What is more interesting is how it kept on shifting distributors continuously and along the way, having the distributors get rid of excess inventory at more than tempting prices. Is this still a viable enterprise or not?

It seems as if Loth-X has hard time getting a decent distribution chain the US, in contrast to other places, like the UK. For what I can truly recall, they have changed distributors at least 3-4 time in about 4 years? With each distributor change, there seems to be some regular numbers of NOS or NUS being sold in Audiogon at very good prices, therefore, I wonder if their change might depress the real prices of their gear. I would love to fetch myself a pair of their higher end, Stamm series at discounted prices. Although I have just seen their intro to mid end products on sale. Has anyone ever heard their Stamm series live?

What about that question about their cabinets being raspy, adding to colorations to the reproduction?

TWL, do you think your Lowther based winged pipes as colored in comparison to other speakers you have heard before?
