Hi,
I've owned these since early nineties. They originally came from Magnolia HiFi in Seattle, WA. I'm the second owner. I opened the woofer doors the other day out of curiosity while I was cleaning up binding post contacts and such. I had been in there in the mid nineties when I upgraded from AK-2 to AK-3, using factory parts and instructions. At that time, I didn't notice that the LF drivers were K43 instead of K33. All other drivers are what should be in these. These are factory equipped with separate hi and low freq fuses, so I doubt the woofers were blown and replaced. These were never abused either. The leads are soldered to the drivers just like factory. Maybe they came like this by mistake or special order? Maybe they were replaced who knows. Anyway they sound great to me. They are pretty solid sounding to 40hz. sound rolled off at 35hz, by 30 they are way down to a whisper. I understand that the K33 goes 10hz deeper, but that the K43 is the more articulate driver. I got that from reading up here, but most info is regarding use in La Scala. Anyone have any experience with K43 in corner horns?
Thanks, Mike
