jimjimbo Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 As the title of the thread states, I am looking to purchase a pair of Klipsch K-43 woofers or equivalent. By equivalent, I mean the possibility that there may be a pair of eminence woofers available on parts express or elsewhere that would be virtually the same as the K-43‘s. Can anyone advise on this? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limited_edition Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hi - Apparently the Eminence Kappa 15C is similar to the Klipsch K-43. Read about it here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrymr1965 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) I have a pair of K-43 drivers, new in the original shipping boxes. Bought in 1991 for a La Scala base bin project, tested removed in favor of the K-48 K. Edited October 19, 2017 by Jerrymr1965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Buy the four complete MCM-1900 stacks ($900) near me and I'll go pull the 8 K-43's, 16 K-55's, 4 10" Cetec mid woofers, and 4 MTM tweeter stacks for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrymr1965 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Sorry, photo post limited but a few follow. These both read 3.4 ohms on a medium priced Gardner Bender meter, no blemishes, no finish scares even in mounting holes. As close to mint as available in these drivers.

K- 43 dust cap did not carry the Klipsch logo. The K-43 has a 4 inch dust cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so, the K-43 did carry the Klipsch logo I have one with it on it and no it does not have a 4" dust cap unless it was possibly reconed.
