Two problems: Firstly, those are definitely not Lowther drivers. Wrong colour, wrong number of mounting screws, no "whizzer" cone. Secondly, the mis-spelling of "Baffel" both in the listing and on the labels shown in the pics of the back of the cabs - this would suggest to me that the labels are not a genuine Lowther items. I messaged the seller & he said he would investigate the drivers and post more pics, but that was a while ago...

But its certainly not a Lowther driver in there.

That's interesting...looks like the label is genuine too, so maybe they really were called ideal baffel rather than ideal baffle. You learn something new every day...

Other than the label pictured on that Russian site, I can't find any evidence that it was ever spelled "Baffel". All other references spell it correctly.

Weird.

Maybe they had a dyslexic label writer...
