We used them for quite awhile on the Millett Hybrid MAX/MiniMAX.  Just about all you'd want to know can be found on this webpage from the MAX website:

http://www.diyforums.org/MAX/MAXk42.php

 

Dsavitsk also has them included in his excellent caps review page:

John Broskie is/was also using them in his kits and parts sales for the Aikido:

He's calling them K40's on that page, but I think they are actually K42's.

 

We quit using them for the MAX and MiniMAX because the VitaminQ's ended up being much better for high-end detail and midrange, whereas the K42's seem to accentuate bass (plenty of bass already on the MAX).
