This is the same replacement for the K79k. $32 USD per in Jan '23.
The Klipsch Ti is white and the old Klipsch Phenolic is gray.

The point was simply that if it was there to begin with, it should be there when you’re finished. Now, if you have a problem with the link or note, just ignore the information and do whatever you want.
Did that

2nd paragraph https://speakerrepairshop.nl/en/questions/ferrofluid/c-34
What is the problem with ferrofluid over time?
Ten to twenty years after production, many of those tweeters will sound dull, have lost sensitivity, or have quit working altogether. This happens because the oil in the ferrofluid has evaporated, leaving a muck or solid in its place preventing the voice coil from moving freely or even blocking it.Yup, read it. It had that generic feel with more words than facts.
My voice coil gaps had no solids. The brown fluid was still partially wet. I cleaned it out with the enclosed absorbent papers. If you read the instructions from the link you provide, it also says you can put a few drops of alcohol in the gap to clean it out. What if that goes wrong? I cleaned with absorbent paper until it came out clean and refilled with new FF. It goes in cleanly, as it's attracted to the magnetic gap.
What did you find when you changed the ferrofluid in your K79k's ?
It's only true if it's on the internet...

the FF may have been replaced by the previous owner , FF has a shelve life of 10 years
Doubt it. Nothing looked messed with. Screws were untouched etc. Paper quality cards intact, etc. But I guess if you say so…

I came here to issue the same caveat. I’m guilty of murder too…
Another excommunicated vendor of aftermarket parts used to suggest folding over a Post-It note and cleaning the gap.
It’s a game of Operation, lol.
I don't recall killing anything but a multimeter confirmed the sudden death in one channel. I got a pair of Ti replacements from Klipsch.
I also have extra parts express FF for (2) K79k which I thought I'd have to do a second time but didn't. It's in its original packaging and easy to do.
My 1994 FF was still in a liquid state btw...
PM me if you want it.

From what I’ve read, the difference between the K79 and K79k of the chorus is the ferrofluid. I posted in the above link and yes it’s a brownish liquid. I also killed an original diaphragm coil. Be delicate.

Maybe @BigRossneeds 4 more posts before he can reply..?
Not sure how that works.

In your photos, the current speakers look to be about a foot off the wall so maybe the rear passive of the forte wouldn't be at issue..?

What is it that’s lacking in your system now?

That's good to know. You have to be a BIT more sane than she was then. ALWAYS Schweppe's tonic & a twist. All day, all nite Mary Ann. Sporadic, Heady and super intelligent not to mention gorgeous. Teaching high school art? Reduced to the lil old lady that lived in a shoe. Glad it wasn't me. I'd have a double-frontal lobotomy by now.
That's what Scotch does to ya!😂
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy...

Hey wuzz,
Sorry about your buddy and Penelope. Really awful when they go.
My wife rescued a wire-haired fox terrier. He's psycho, bites the hell out of me and has a taste for pre-war oak trim but I eventually give him a pass because he's a dog. In the past year and a half he's also gone mostly blind. But when I look into those cloudy gray eyes... Did I mention he was a "surprise"?
I don't let my kids off that easily (no the don't bite or eat the house).
Hang in there and remember the 18 good years. I don't have that with my kids yet.

Definitely NOT in vain.
While I won't be building anything like this anytime soon, it was great to follow along with someone who knows what he's doing and willing to share the knowledge. Thanks to both you and Maynard for the "Little Sweetie"

Any "new" bands like (old) Chicago or Blood Sweat & Tears?
in Lounge
Posted · Edited by amped
Have a listen to Leonid and Friends on YouTube. They do a lot of Chicago stuff.
As for BS&T, I don’t think there will ever be another David Clayton Thomas sadly.
