Thanks Moray, Do you recommend changing the caps or should I try the to diaphragms first and wait on that. So don't let anyone suggest to you that the Crites ti tweeter is a cheap clone or copy it is (to me) the best option available. He could have sold what ever was available but he would not. The Silver 100 would be fine as L/R speakers. For the price they have no real compromises. If your budget allows, Id go with the Monitor Audio Silver C350 center speaker because its a 3 way center with TWO active woofers (the Q650C has ONE active woofer and one passive 'bass radiator'). The level of detail these speakers produce is phenominal. Vintage Klipsch TYPE E speaker crossovers. The tractrix horn is seamlessly integrated with a 10' active and 10' passive driver. Beautiful Klipsch KG 4.2 Floor Standing Speakers - Excellent Condition. Bob was working on finding a supplier for the Klipsch ti mid diaphragm but could not find one that was good enough. I have owned a pair of klipsch KG 4.2s for a while now. I prefer the build of the Crites part Bob was a real stickler for quality. In all the tweeter ti sets I had two Klipsch ti tweeter diaphragms go bad but I have had no Crites parts go bad. I have replaced about nine sets of ti tweeter diaphragms and about 5 sets of ti mid diaphragms (the ti mid is only available from Klipsch via Simply Speakers). Michael Crites sells custom made replacement parts (Michael's dad Bob just passed away) i have the RF 82's and I love them but those have the fullest sound I have ever heard.Simply Speakers are authorized to sell Klipsch Factory Parts instead of someone who has beaten them or blasted for 20 + yrs. I need to determine the significance of it since 2khz is where the horn clears up in distortion, so its a good crossing. ya I'm in no rush, i'm going to wait when I have the $ and find some guy who has used them for playing classical or jazz music out of them. I have a design for a cross at 2khz that seems Okay, but I know that beaming starts at about 1800hz on a 10'. If they are close, be a tire kicker and go hear them on the equipment that's driving them.you never know.Ĭool. If there is a chance that you'll be able to score and swap out for some in better condition for ~ the same price, then you might buy these to do that.I would. A few months ago, I sold a pair of Forte that are in a lot better condition to a fellow forum member for only $80 more than the ones in the ad. Klipsch KG-1.5 6.5' Woofer Rubber Edge Speaker Surround Repair Kit (Pair) Brand New. If there's no way you're going to be replacing your next purchase and what you get are going to be in and area where you'll be showing them off, then you might hold out for ones in better condition. Klipsch KG 4.2 Speaker Croosovers Pair A133. Last but not least - They are Forte and should sound wonderful They are far from what I would call beaters Most people price a little high than what they have to have and you might do a little better than the asking price It's not hard to find badges and the look fine without them One could find a something to place on the tops to hide the chew places (cloth, smoked glass, marble) I used them until I got some KLF30, then sold them for what I had in them - then had sellers remorse. They look better than my first Forte and are priced close to the same. I believe that the quickness has to do with the horn going down to around 1600Hz. I compared the Klipsch to Paradigm line and found that the 4.5 was 'quicker', more dynamic, and played louder. The ones in the ad look to be worth the money, especially if he throws in the cables and if they're close to you. Ive owned the Klipsch KG 4.5s for about a year now teamed up with a matching Klipsch center channel speaker.
