I have the k-79 tweeters and it is pretty much has you described Daddy Dee just take the 3 nuts off of the magnet , the horn and diaphragm can be worked loose. There is some sort residue on the magnet and the center piece (is that called a pole plate / t-yoke ? ) So that is why I was thinking like Islander, if the price and shipping is not that much more I would go for the whole shibang......(I think thats how you spell it). Thanks

I am also a big believer in fuses/circuit breakers/blow-offs....I will ask them (Klipsch) about the attenuator I checked that out on Wikipedia and it sounds good they said it dissipates amplitude, I will definitely put some sort of protection in there. I took the tweeter apart the voice coil seems intact, it is a little discolored in some areas.I believe Klipsch said the diaphragm alone was 30.99 and the whole tweeter was 39.99. So that is why I was thinking about replacing the whole tweeter. I will email Bob tomorrow to get his take on it. Thanks again guys have a good night....

I will hopefully get the tweeters ordered in the next couple of days, I have already started to search the site for fuse info I found a cool document ....Dope from Hope .....Vol. 13,No.1 Jan.1973 From Paul W. Klipsch I can't figure out how to paste it , otherwise I would post the whole thing He pretty much says " Common sense will likely be better than fuses. If fuses give you a sense of security,(we recommend using a lamp fast blow, 2 amps. maximum)" I will continue to look and start that post. Thanks again today was a good day I now have direction...........

I checked the tweeters like you said , and I don't hear anything, so I am going to order them from Klipsch 39.66 each magnet, horn and diaphragm. And I will track down those fuses. Will those fuses be for the whole speaker or just the tweeters? I am already looking for another power supply. So many choices,Once I get my new tweeters and overload protection will I be able to listen to them at a low to moderate level.? Thanks

Hello, I Think you hit it right on the head, I put my ear to all the drivers and it sounds like the tweeters are dead, I did run an app from my i phone thru the system and that is kinda when I think the problem started, because I remember the highs used to be ear shattering but not any more. Is there a way to test the tweeters? I have taken one out. Can I just touch a penlight AA battery to the leads? And if they are blown were do you recomend buying replacements. Thanks for all the help

Yes I do sometimes try to shake the pictures off the walls....I will check the wires to make sure they are not shorted. I have them hooked to the front L/R speaker terminals.They are hooked up with 12g speaker wire I had to loose a few strand so they would fit in the terminals on the receiver side. I have the receiver set to 2 channel no surround. What is the full spectrum of sound? Do you recommend I go inside the speaker to make sure everything is good in there? Has far has any wires touching? Thank You

Hello I have a set of chorus 2's. With a sony av521 driving them, when I first got them they seem to do real well, now they sound okay sometimes and sometimes the receiver goes into overload until you turn the volume down. The receiver gets fairly hot. I tried it with a similar receiver and it does the same thing. So my ? Is it the receiver under powered or the speakers. I know I don't have alot of info here but I don't know what info to give. The receiver says it is rated at 135wpc from 40-20,000hz. Sorry if I posted in the wrong spot, any help would be appreciated. Thank You Don't know much but I'd like to Learn
