    I am trying to identify the model and year of some older Klipsch speakers: 

    Klipsch CH 2 wal oil #19 

    S/N: 295397349

    Are these Chorus 2’s or other? 
    Year they were manufactured? 
    thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated 


    They’re Chorus 2.  Other info can be decoded here:

    I've been dipping my French Fries in my chocolate shake for decades... people used to look funny at me, now I see it being done in commercials.


    A Wendy’s Frosty or McDonald’s shamrock shake are the absolute best for fry dipping.

    Looking for a single heresy to use as a center channel between a black pair of Heresy 3s. Another Heresy 3 keeps the sound matching and black again would be optimal. Might be willing to buy a pair as well. Seattle area. Also have tons of quality gear if a trade is an option for ya


    It’s worth the effort.  I ended up buying a pair and selling the leftover one.  Perfectly seamless soundstage across all five of my Heresys.

    Where exactly is it?  I have Heresy's and they are stamped at the top lip.  I have just bought Chorus I and I cant find anything.  I do have one label that was off the speaker. 


    Chorus only have the paper label, nothing stamped into the cabinet.

    Sounds good to me. Went ahead and ordered the part.

     

    Edit: Question to whoever can answer: Why the diaphragm? What goes wrong with it that this is likely the culprit of the issue? TIA


    Probably overdriven.  Tweeters can’t handle as much power as other drivers.

    Yes! I did find out how to open the top hat box fairly easily, thankfully. Another member here had messaged me this morning with instructions on how to diagnose if it is in fact the tweeter that is the fault to my issue. 

     

    I checked the contact wiring to the tweeter, hoping for a loose or unplugged wire. One of the wires contacting onto the tweeter was seemingly loose, as it clicked when I was attempting to push it in further. However, still muffled when I tested again.

     

    To further troubleshoot, I unplugged the tweeter wiring from the other speaker, to confirm that the sound between the two speakers matched after having both tweeters not putting out sound. Confirmed - both sound the same with the horns and the woofers coming through. 

     

    I then swapped the tweeters between the two top hat boxes, and the issue followed me over to the other top hat box.

     

    Issue confirmed I suppose. The member who contacted me had given me a link, suggesting I purchase the OEM diaphragm #127126 for $57 at https://reconingspeakers.com/products-page/klipsch-k77f-127126-diaphragm/

     

    Waiting to hear back from them to make sure my troubleshooting still points to the diaphragm that they think it is. 

     

     


    Not much else it could be.  You did all the correct troubleshooting.
