The Grand Opera Collection represents the absolute pinnacle of acoustic artistry.
Three curated instruments, the Field Coil, PM4A and PM7A - built to the highest specification possible.
Available exclusively by commission and priced upon request, these bespoke instruments employ components made with the highest grade permalloys or soft magnetic irons - materials where absolute performance is essential.
Each Grand Opera instrument is uniquely numbered and created entirely to order through a collaborative process between client and craftsman. The result transcends conventional audio reproduction, revealing musical nuances and emotional subtleties that remain hidden to lesser instruments.
This is the ultimate expression of the Lowther acoustic masterpiece for those who accept no compromise in their pursuit of musical truth.
Three exceptional instruments, each representing the absolute pinnacle of our craft.

Every Lowther drive unit is the result of meticulous hand assembly, decades of refinement, and an unwavering commitment to sonic excellence.
At the heart of every Lowther lies a voice coil wound entirely by hand, to tolerances measured in microns. Copper, silver, or gold alloy wire is layered under exact tension to achieve balance beyond the reach of machines.
Every component is brought together by craftsmen whose experience spans decades. Their skill and intuition, the ability to feel perfect alignment within a human hair's breadth, ensure flawless centring and effortless movement.
Our paper cones are individually brushed with proprietary treatments, then cured slowly in natural sunlight. This organic process creates a surface both rigid and alive, capturing musical textures with breathtaking speed and delicacy.
Every drive unit undergoes exhaustive acoustic and mechanical testing. From precise frequency analysis to the tactile inspection of cone travel, nothing leaves our bench until it meets the sonic ideal that defines Lowther.
Our metalwork is forged from premium lead-free steels. This geometry channels magnetic flux with maximum efficiency, forming the silent architecture beneath the Lowther signature: lightning-fast response and effortless dynamics.
From traditional Alnico to modern Neodymium and the rare Permendur and Magmax of our Grand Opera instruments, each magnet composition shapes character and tone.
The Grand Opera Collection features bespoke metalwork crafted from the finest permalloys and soft magnetic irons available. These ultra-high-grade materials, where absolute performance is essential, are precision-machined to tolerances that exceed industry standards, creating the ultimate magnetic circuit for uncompromising sonic purity.
Each Grand Opera frame is individually hand-machined and meticulously matched to its specific driver assembly. This artisanal approach ensures perfect mechanical integration and eliminates even the minutest resonances, providing an acoustically inert foundation for musical truth.
The Grand Opera Collection employs our most advanced cone treatment processes, developed exclusively for these flagship instruments. Enhanced structural refinements and proprietary formulations deliver unprecedented clarity, resolution, and tonal accuracy across the entire frequency spectrum.
Real experiences from Grand Opera Collection owners around the world
"Working with Lowther to create my own Grand Opera drivers was unlike anything I've experienced. Every choice, from the magnet to the voice coil, feels like it was made just for me. The result is pure, effortless music that sounds uniquely mine."
"I wanted a sound that captured the intimacy of small jazz sessions but still held scale for orchestral work. Together we tuned my Grand Opera drivers to do exactly that. It's like they were built around the way I listen."
"Thank you for guiding me through the Grand Opera process. Designing my set felt like commissioning a fine instrument, every decision and every detail was handled with such care. It's everything I hoped for and more."
