What year (the letter) did Klipsch stopped using the multi layer plywood and started using MDF boards?

The subject may have been covered already but thought to ask.

I have had numerous K-horns and Belles.  I do remember some of the newer models were made of MDF boards and not plywood.

Does anyone know the last model year and associated year that plywood boards were no more used?

 

I missed the sound of Khorns/Belles and would like to buy a vintage pair again but I want the plywood kind.  There are some for sale in Seattle area but judging from the photos and letters newer than R seems to have MDF cabinets.

 

Thanks,

Ki

Not sure. Maybe you should our historian Jim Hunter. He is the ask the historian section.
