PWK thought little of anything that cost more $$$ even if it was slightly better. He would routinely change drivers, crossover parts, etc...without fanfare to keep the product moving out the door.

Yeah, I know all that. But the question I asked was how is the cast Crites woofer better than the stamped one. I wonder if it's simply a matter of perception especially given the non rigorous use of the woofer.
Well when they first arrived we put them into a friends V1 Cornwalls.
I thought they played somewhat deeper with "tauter" bass. My friend was gaga for them, and seemed to think they had somehow transformed his old speakers (he bought a pair). Also, there are many on the Klipsch forum that believe the same after a/b'ing them. There are certainly some physical differences between the cast snd stamped baskets that could read like a Viagra ad - Bigger, Stiffer, Thicker, Heavier. I talked to Bob Crites and he said they do play a few hz lower.

Tom,
The cast woofer plays a little deeper & has more control, even though the actual specs are the same. I could never get a definitive reason from Crites why this is so, but the proof is in the hearing & not in the specs, if you get my drift.
Cheers,
John
