I know the K77 and K79 are not interchangeable (different sensitivity). Dunno about the rest.

It's my understanding that the K57 is the assembly of the K52 driver and it's horn.

Here's some discussion similar to your questions

What are the physical difference between the following tweeters and mids? Which among each group are sonically interchangable?

Tweeters:

K-77 horn, diaphragm, and magnet not like the other three

K-79 same horn as 75 and 76 but low impedance voice coil and largest mag structure

K-75 same impedance coil as 76 but medium mag structure

K-76 smallest mag structure

Mids:

K-52 driver used in 53 and 57

K-53 k-52 with 701 horn

K-57 k-52 with 601 horn

K-61 k-52h (same as k-52 but with extra holes in phase plug) with 602 horn.

Thanks Roy!

I'm soooooo tired of starting all my posts with 'I believe I think I may have heard that this may be the case in some instances but you probably have an exception......'

Thanks, Roy !!

It would be great to have this type of info in a permanent technical reference section. Hey, Michael . . .

I have an excel matrix with most of the recent speakers, the components, measurements, MSRP, available finishes etc. on the Customer Service server. We are constantly upgrading it and are making improvments all the time. There are a great deal of research materials available at the office.
