To my knowledge no. The K comes in three versions
AN K/Lx
AN K/Spe
AN K/Spx
The tweeter and woofer are different and are I believe made by VIFA.
The J come with either the SEAS paper woofer or the Hemp.
The J is actually the easier speaker to drive than the E. Which may be why some like the J a little bit more. The OTO has no trouble with the J but does with the E.
The reason is the impedance. The E dips to 3.6ohms and stays there for much of the bass range. The J is only marginally less sensitive - 1-2dB but the speaker never drops below 5 ohms (according to the measurements done by Hi-Fi Choice).
I suspect AN felt the same way and when they began to produce 2A3 and 45 tube amps that have 3 watts - their AN E with the lower impedance was likely going to be an issue so a HE version of the driver was needed. But the regular non HE version power requirements are 7 watts minimum to 150watts maximum.
