I contacted Bob Crites and he has the diaphragms for the K-77s on the way and provided details on how to install which I really appreciate. I will keep you posted on the outcome. I can hardly wait to get the K-horns back in shape. Thanks again Bob. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Randy

On the weekend I was able to confirm the following: <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Action: I used the crossover from the La Scala and hooked it up to the K-Horn tweeter. Result: No Sound from K-Horn Tweeter. Action: I used the crossover from the K-Horn and hooked up to the La Scala tweeter. Result: Sound from La Scala Tweeter. Action: I did a continuity test on the Tweeter of the K-horn. Result: No continuity, (Confirmed continuity of Mid Horn of K-horn) Action: Disassembled K-77 and to determine any physical damage. Result: Diaphragm looks good, no crack or tear. No apparent Physical damage and also inspected by shining light through Diaphragm) Wires to diaphragm look good and confirmed by continuity test from inside to outside of plastic body. Conclusion: Crossover is okay. The only thing I can come up with at this point is that the coil on the diaphragm must be damaged due to no continuity. If this conclusion is correct the next step would probably be to purchase two new diaphragms. I am just wondering if other people would agree with this conclusion. As always, help is greatly appreciated. Randy Note: Once I get the tweeters operational I will then want to take a look at upgrading the crossover.

I really appreciate all of the suggestions, I will check all of this over the weekend and let you know how it turns out. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Thanks again for the support. Randy

Thanks for the reply, I did do the tweeter test with the ears and was pretty sure that they were producing sound. But tonight I will do it again and as well I will unscrew and screw the wires on the crossover and see what happens. (I will keep you posted) <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Before I saw these K-Horns I was hoping that they were going to be walnut but the rosewood really looks great as well. They seem to be lacquered and I am not sure if a person would put oil on these or if you just leave them as is. I just want to get these big guys up to their potential. Thanks again, Randy

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I have been cruising through the forum for a couple of years now and I am really impressed with the support and knowledge provided. I am hoping that I could receive some advice with a problem concerning my Klipschorns. I was finally fortunate enough to purchase a pair of Klipschorns awhile back. They are a KB-BRL with serial numbers in sequence starting with 8556925 with AK-2 crossovers and are labeled as rosewood veneer. Tweeter - K-77 (Square Magnet) Midrange - K-55-M I moved to a house and finally had the space to compare my La Scalas and Klipschorns in the same room. In comparing the La Scalas to the Klipschorns I really noticed that the highs from the La Scalas are clearer than the Klipschorns. (Its like a person took the Treble knob and turned it all the way down on the K-horns) Given this situation, I am wondering what would be the best process to correctly identify the problem and options to fix. (Tweeter, Cross-over, or something else?) Thanks, Randy
