@ebm: If you’re referring to what I posted; I deleted it as did the, "delusional", theirs.      
BEL E88CC/6922 tubes - what can I expect?
     Imagine yourself watching an HD video, through three lenses per eye.     How many dirty lenses are you willing to tolerate?     A very subjective question.

        Didn't see a processor loop (or any other option), available in the 7900, in which the KAB could be inserted.                                   But: I could be wrong. 
Electrovoice 18" Woofer: smallish Magnet; only 2.3 ohms?
        I'm certain you could shake things up, with a design like that!        My reservations would be: the weight of the moving parts, dropping the voice coil out of center with the gap and having to fight gravity, during half of their musical...

             Assuming you're problem is via Phono only and (hopefully: 47k Ohm) MM Input:         https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/60042/DB_Systems-DB_Systems_Subsonic_Filter-Turntable_Accessories             Can't say how that might affect yo... 
Electrovoice 18" Woofer: smallish Magnet; only 2.3 ohms?
              "...who knows who has replaced a voice coil???"      Back in the day: we reconers were buying our parts from Waldom Electronics*.     All of their voice coils were wound with round, copper wire and they carried parts to recone vir... 
Electrovoice 18" Woofer: smallish Magnet; only 2.3 ohms?
       No one is going to have OEM/EV Sentry III reconing kits, except EV  or an authorized EV warranty center..        Anyone else would be proffering aftermarket, junk parts.    I'd never consider that an option!        I'm in the neighborhood o...

      The only fault I could find with the pair of Amperex USN/CEP 7308, mid 60's, that I tried, was their slightly warm coloration.    Other than that: everything was lovely.       Seems we may have the same tastes, regarding presentation.     ... 
Electrovoice 18" Woofer: smallish Magnet; only 2.3 ohms?
       btw: I still have a pair each of ST350As (w/new OEM diaphragms), 1824M drivers, 8HD horns, X8 and X36s (all 8 Ohm stuff), left over from the shoppe.       Always did my own x-overs, but: those from EV: I just couldn't throw away, in good ... 
Electrovoice 18" Woofer: smallish Magnet; only 2.3 ohms?
      When I had my shoppe in Central Florida; EV was one of the companies for which I did authorized warranty repair.       It never mattered how old the drivers might be; they always had parts to repair them.       I suppose things probably ha... 
Fluids....
       I've been trusting LAST Factory products, for maintaining styluses and vinyl, since the very early 80's.       Using their LAST RCM Fluid, with my VPI 16.5, hasn't reduced my trust in the least.   Seems to do an excellent job and leaves n...

       Then again, if your goal is simply seeking info and learning; too much data still isn't enough!                                Happy listening and enjoy the journey!  
Electrovoice 18" Woofer: smallish Magnet; only 2.3 ohms?
       What do want to know?         In your first post and again 07-18-2021 10:10am: you asked about a nominal speaker spec (8 Ohm) vs a DC spec.       Again: if your 18" woofers came out of either EV Six or 400 systems: an amplifier's outputs ... 
Electrovoice 18" Woofer: smallish Magnet; only 2.3 ohms?
     If your drivers did come out of an EV Six system: they should be a nominal 8 Ohm, far as what your amp's output will see, regardless of how they measure with DC.     Everything changes, depending on the way the woofer is loaded and it's desig... 
Electrovoice 18" Woofer: smallish Magnet; only 2.3 ohms?
     btw: That last link shows a driver with just one of the many magnet ENCLOSURES that EV used, over the years.     That's not the actual magnet structure (front plate, magnet and pole/rear plate).
