It looks like the OP has already been chased away.
Blaming every speaker problem on third party capacitors is stupid.
I like to wait until the speakers are actually working first before I blame the brand/type of caps, lol.

If your plan is to gut them, the cabinets would be practically worthless. I can’t imagine anyone paying for them with no drivers or crossovers.
if you are tight with money, the answer is definitely not destroying a perfectly good set of loudspeakers.
They were designed to be used as stage monitors and have a strong vocal presence. Converting the networks to the AA will rebalance the loudspeakers. It will pull the midrange back so you can hear the bass.

This sounds like more than a capacitor related issue. He said he’s running them in his Cornwalls, and the LaScala’s sound terrible by comparison.
So, I would recheck the wiring, and check to make sure the tweeters are actually working. -
Speaker Exchange (reconingspeakers.com) sells the factory part. Klipsch parts of course also has them, but you don’t get the instant turnaround. For the life of me I can’t figure why Klipsch doesn’t have an online store for most requested items.

I think we should leave any enforcement of the rules to the moderators.
We should always be interested in helping somebody figure out a problem. It’s not like he’s here shilling.
The sound you are describing is what one might hear with no tweeters, yet you said you changed the diaphragms out. You should start by double-checking that they are actually working.

Same. They won’t sell them. I had La Scala’s at the time and wanted to update them from the metal versions.

Never mind.

Welp, I guess no more Klipschorns or LaScala's.

What is the general condition of them? In nice condition they are still demanding a premium. I see them regularly go for $2500 - $3000.
Tweeter diaphragms are inexpensive.
Dead squawker could certainly be a bad connection. Loosen and retighten all of the screws on the terminal strips.
AL-3 would be the best network for that driver complement. Least expensive route would be to find some on eBay and recap them. I build new with OEM parts. Cost is $645.00 a pair.

You have access to their real time inventory?

Unfortunately however, Klipsch Heritage speakers are more sensitive to this room effect than dome radiators with a wider dispersion patten.
You have it backwards.
Horns have controlled directivity.
I think they’re brighter because that’s how they’re voiced. Live music doesn’t sound “buttery smooth”, in fact, most live music is fairly bright and a little harsh (a little).

@ToddRF75 I thought I had provided you with a fairly detailed explanation on the other forum. There really isn’t much else to say about them.

Those are cool. Those amps are nice too.

They are identical with the exception of the resistors in the low pass, where the AK-4 has two 6 ohm resistors in parallel and the AK-5 has one.

Sound is still there in the tweeter, just very faint.
That’s because there is a 100 ohm resistor in parallel with the polyswitch. When the polyswitch tripped, the signal was rerouted through the resistor. That you can hear sound through it means you didn’t blow a diaphragm.
It’s the correct part. You’ll be fine. I would use clips for heat sinks when you solder the polyswitch in.

Yeah, I get it. I was just responding to Randy’s post. Sorry, didn’t mean to hi-jack the thread.

there is no need to modify the HII crossover to add a bandpass filter , the bandpass filter is separate from the H II crossover
Not sure what are you talking about.You can’t use the Ti diaphragms or use the Ti drivers without modifying the network. The parts go in between the autoformer and driver. Klipsch doesn’t sell the filter section separately.
Since it a non Klipsch mod, the Klipsch alternative is the Heresy III upgrade kit - which is really the correct way to do it.

@OO1 How does that alleviate having to add a bandpass filter?

Cool. I hope it works out for you.
