Jerry, if you could install both and do some testing, and if you have the time, please report on your findings. I can say for sure the older KP-250's with the cloth grille (mine are from 1989) and K-42-K woofers are much better sounding than the newer ones with the K-42-KP woofers. I have both in the shop right now and have played them side by side and the K-42-K woofer speakers are every bit as good as Forte's just lacking the same depth of bass. The crossovers are identical so I think I can rule them out. If I keep a pair for the other side of my shop out of KP-260's, KP-262's, KP-250 newer versions Heresy's or the older KP-250's the older KP-250's win hands down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFR1 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 @LalaWoots So your pictures are of yet another K-42 woofer version that I have not seen. Attached are pics of a K-42 with a stamped frame and a K-42-KP with a cast frame. Your woofers appear to have cast frames but are labeled K-42-EP. Are they 8 ohm woofers? Can you tell me what speaker model they were used in? What years they were made? Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LalaWoots Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Jerry, I believe the woofers I have were made by Electro-Voice and thus the “EP” suffix. Other than that I don’t know anything else about them. They did sound better (to me)than the stamped basket version and the grey basket EVM12LI used to own.

LalaWoots Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I stand corrected: Eminence. I would sell them for $240 shipped within the contiguous USA or $230 shipped Paypal friends and family. Basically I need $100 net for each woofer plus actual shipping costs (I have a FedEx account with a nice discount).

I do have an older k-42 EV woofer with a scratchy voice-coil not sure if I should just toss it in the trash or if it has any value for a rebuild..

e-just Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I am selling a pair of KSMs that contain K42 woofers. I am considering parting them out if you want the woofers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
