Klipsch continued to use EV-made drivers for many decades
The driver sets I bought from him in the mid- to late '60's are
definitely not EV units; I'm almost certain they are CTS. In any case,
"many decades" is a bit too long a time since the K-horn would only have
been in real production for something like 20 years when I bought mine
(he didn't really get started until after WWII).
To clarify, Klipsch's classic speakers used the EV T-35 tweeters
from at least the late 1960's through the mid 1980's, as their
part number "K77", after which a transition to the ceramic ("mud
magnet") EV driver began, part number K77M.
I don't believe that EV tweeters are used at all now, but I
don't know fersure, fersure.
Much thanks,

There was a company I saw, oh, maybe 10 years ago that made another type
of three-way horn system, but as I recall the horns had a 360 degree
dispersion. And they were, um, pricey - to the tune of about $100,000 /
pair.
Does anyone remember their name? Or better yet, have the literature on
them?
