Hello Guy's and Gal's

I'm happy to see such knowledge on Klipsch systems, I was given a pair of these speakers and found out that one of the woofers has an open in the voice coil

I would like to replace both woofers, but I'm wondering which woofer would give me better bass and power handling for the size of these cabinets. would you go with the 

Eminence Delta Pro 12 or the Evm 12 L. I would be using them for home use and will like to listen to jazz on them. Thanks

I’ve used both.  IMO, either would work well.  I used The Eminence Delta Pros in a scratch-built pair of Claude’s, @ClaudeJ1, Super Heresys, with good results.  I also acquired a pair of HIPs with the EV woofers. One had a bad voice coil.

 

Rather than replacing the woofer(s), Claude recommend a local re-coning service.  Both EV speakers were  re-coned with excellent results.  You might ask local professional musicians for recommendations regarding businesses they use to keep their guitar amps and PAs working.

Either one will do, but the best is Kappalite 3012 HO, and the cheapest, BEST bang for the buck is: the Eminence Kappa 12a! The EV is most expensive and not worth it IMHO.

Thank You! you guys are the best, yeah  I would love to have them reconed out here in the west, BUT! we don't have any good services that either repair electronics

or does any reconing anymore, we have lost many brick-and-mortar business's because of high rents. can the cones with vc's be ordered for these drivers? and who would 

have the best reconing kits?
