I've heard that EV developed that 30" woofer as a
replacement when they lost their license to make
Klipschorn clones -- and they lost it because their
"clones" deviated a bit too much, and performed a bit too
poorly, to satisfy PWK.


That seems bass-ackwards to me. It is true that Klipsch started out using
EV drivers. He was a box-builder and systems integrator, not a builder of
speaker components. I don't know where the relatively small trickle of
drivers that EV sold to Klipsch affected EV's technical development or
business plans.
