Knight2001DTS Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hi!!! Im having a hell of a time finding a pair of K-47-EP2 drivers to make a second KPT-684, so have been looking under every rock….. In doing so, I have compared the Eminence KAPPAPRO18LF8 driver It is visually identical, and even the specs and sensitivity (+6db for a pair of drivers in parallel) is a match for the KPT-684 Is it possible these drivers are actually one and the same with a different sticker on the back?? sure would make my life easier as they are available off the shelf new cheers!!!

rebuy Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 What did Eminence say when you contacted them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight2001DTS Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 I haven’t contacted Eminence, but I’m not sure they would volunteer that info - maybe worth a call I guess just curious if I can use this driver as the Klipsch has been impossible to find, or purchase in Australia.

Knight2001DTS Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 Possibly also a Sigma Pro 18A-2? both look very similar and specs are very similar also hoping someone will know …… 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 the specs on both speakers you're referencing are not the same as the Klipsch woofer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 The Klipsch woofers usually have the Eminence manufacturing number on them. I've used that to ask for the t/s parameters and they have usually sent an email with them. They usually won't match any of the regular production drivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight2001DTS Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Hi!! thanks for the replies…. I have been in touch with Eminence and indeed - a couple of their production drivers are similar but not the same. I will ask to see how f they will give me the t/S parameters and get the closest I can if I still can’t find original Klipsch drivers. cheers!!

For the past few years they've been in Tasmanis, most recenly down in Hobart. Early on, when they would need to fly back to the States, they would carry a bag of rocks back with them. The bag of rock were uncut opals. They sold them to a jeweler here to pay for their trip back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
