The article on the 'BIG-FUN' horn is strictly a DIY piece written by Ketil Parow (somewhat technically oriented, with calculations shown for Ketil's own speakers). An excerpt of the article is published in Electronics & Wireless World January 1995, and in Speaker Builder June/July 1996.

A large portion of Lowther owners choose to build their own cabinets, so the article should be interesting in that it illustrates the steps necessary to get there.

All these articles are in English.

• Join The Club! (This article looks at loudspeaker technology in general, and Lowther specifically, in a historic perspective. It was printed in connection with the founding of Lowther Club of America. The author is the editor of Sound Practices magazine).
• Toward Perfection (This is a 'two-in-one' piece. The first part deals with some interesting history on Lowther/Voigt, the last is a description of one of Lowther's most acclaimed designs; the Lowther Acousta 115. Plans are available from the club).
• The BIG FUN Horn (Ketil Parow's Lowther horn - plans for this are also available from the club)
