     This is my very humble opinion but KLFs are not rare birds, I'd say save your pennies and go buy some music... Just treat them right and they'll last a lifetime.

    Sensible advice.

     

    The replacement parts will cost more than I paid for the speakers new. I took advantage of the Klipsch employee purchase promo for the KLF series at the time and bought the pair for $450! :)

     I second that the phenolic mid-daiphrams are just a replacement not an upgrade.

    Thank you! I may purchase them and keep on hand so when the stock diaphragms fail, I have a replacement. Same with the crossovers. I suppose I'll have to buy the 4 woofers as well, as I don't want to wait until it is too late and they're not available.

    I have his crossovers, tweeter diagrams, and mid-range diagrams in my klf 30's

    Thanks for your reply! How did the crossovers change the tonal balance? I find the horns to be a bit strident on older recordings. Was that improved?

    I can't comment on the drivers, but I can say that the B&K Crossovers are definitely upgrades over stock.  I have Crites crossovers in both my Heresy I's and RF-3 II's, and both had a noticeable difference when the crossovers were added in.  I imagine the drivers are at least as good as stock drivers - but I can't say for sure having never used them.

     

    O/T: P-51 Guy, eh?  I have a cousin that rebuilt one and flew it for many many years.  My first time flying was in that plane, and it was amazing.  Quite the bird.

    Newbie, here. I own a pair of KLF-30's going on 19 years and while they are functioning perfectly, I am concerned about driver life, xover life, etc. I've read many comments in this forum that mention Bob Crites. I have visited his website and see that he offers replacement parts for the drivers and a new xover. 

     

    My question is: has anyone purchased the 12" woofer (CW1228) for a KLF-30 and if so, how does it compare to the original K-31? Better, worse. etc. Also, how do the replacement tweeter and midrange  diaphragms sound as compared to the factory originals? Lastly, is the B&K KLF-30 xover a noticeable improvement?

     

    Thanks for any advice.
