    Well finally got around to comparing these two passives and just now noticed they have different baskets 

     

    Jesse ,  do both passives have the same diameter or is the KD-15-ST a tad larger , does the KD-15-ST fit in the Forte II

  2. great idea ,  buy an AA kit from JEM + the missing parts ,  skip the Zener diodes    , if you dont like the sound of the K-55M with the AA , you can sell these off and buy K-55V drivers , both K-55V and K-55M extend to 6KHz as long as the diaphragms are Original .

    Interesting thread. I was just asking these same questions. From what I've gathered, they say the 19's  

      the Altec Model 19 cant be compared to a Lascala -Khorn or even a Cornwall , it was basically a large 70's studio monitor with veneer and grilles

    Here's the reply from Klipsch Product Support ...  Part number/description:  1000595 - KD-16 (M) (NO STOCK) ,

     " we no longer have stock of that item due to age of the product (as it has been discontinued and/or is no longer in production)  "

    .........................

    I think the KD-15-ST is an option to consider  , previous forum members were impressed with this newer drone 's sound ,  it fits tight , and minor adjustments are needed to make it perfect   with a dremel tool  , it's a tad larger on the outer rim but not by much.   the pictures are from a previous member's Chorus II installation of the Forte III drone .

  5.   it's OO1  , klipsch supplied capacitors  are recommended by klipsch ,  sold by klipsch , and used by klipsch in all their new speakers , klipsch make these products available to Forum members who wish to restore their crossovers at an affordable price .  

    .@JEM Performance    https://jemperformanceaudio.com/capacitor-kits  

     

    - klipsch capacitors restore the original klipsch sound in older crossovers without requiring to replace additional parts  regardless of whether the networks are 40-45-50 years old   .

  6. it's OO1  , some people think ( myth  ) that the older inductors , wiring  ,caps require replacement , while the Original klipsch 40 year old parts actually test better on specs versus new 3rd party parts that do not match klipsch specs  , the result is a speaker that no longer sounds like a klipsch speaker .
