"These
speakers have brought me to the next level of sonic bliss, offering
a direct communication to the soul and essence of the music itself."
The Lamhorn 1.8 has been designed with the listener in mind. Indeed,
over 3 years of research and development has led to the current
Lamhorn 1.8 Loudspeaker.
RL Acoustique carried out intense study, measurements, and critical
listening to the original and current Lowther designs; we feel
we have bettered these offerings by a significant margin, and
music lovers and the audio press seem to agree.
The RL Acoustique Lamhorn 1.8 incorporates the simplicity of a
single driver and horn configuration to deliver the ultimate in
musical enjoyment with no crossover induced distortions, distortions
that rob the music of proper timing and emotional impact. One
has to hear a high quality horn of this nature to fully appreciate
the immediacy and palpability of the music. These qualities are
further enhanced with the internal use of pure silver wire, which
bring the listener another step closer to the performance.
Listen to what Jean-Francois Lessard had to say about the Lamhorn
1.8 via his Horus
2A3 Silver Monoblocks and Tenor
Audio 15Wp OTL:
I
can't say enough good things about this driver and the Lamhorn
1.8 enclosure. These speakers have brought me to the next level
of sonic bliss, offering a direct communication to the soul
and essence of the music itself. I have auditioned many horns
and most are horribly colored; the Lamhorn 1.8, however, belong
in the top echelon of speaker designs - and the AER driver is
an instant classic

Cabinet
The Lamhorn 1.8 uses the finest materials available. The cabinet
is made of 25 mm ( 1" ) 17 ply, Brazilian Birch plywood without
any voids. This wood is heavier and more dense than MDF of the
same thickness. All internal and external wood surfaces are finely
sanded and sealed before being screwed and glued together. The
cabinet is finished with matched oak veneers as standard with
rosewood optional. Matching grills are also supplied.
Wiring
Internal wiring is pure silver foil GOERTZ
supplied by Alpha-Core. It is the finest available and enables
the music to flow with unmatched balance. Binding posts are Cardas
Silvers.
Drivers
The Lamhorn 1.8 comes standard with REPS
R-1 or AER MK-1 full-range drivers.
