[Opinions for KLF-20 Upgrades]

Thanks for the info. MechEngVic- where would I find crossovers like that? I can do the replacements, but i'm not savvy enough to make or modify them.

[Opinions for KLF-20 Upgrades]

Thanks for the great advice! I agree, the KLF 20 Woofers are awesome, and I don't expect to make any changes there. My thinking was I'd buy the DaveA's LMAHL Tweeters w/ B&C DE10 drivers. I'll probably get the Bob Crites Mid-horn drivers and brand new crossovers as well. Thoughts?

One more thing- I tossed my speaker grills away probably 17-18 years ago- My cat thought they were great scratching posts and shreddded them- no damage to speakers though.

Well, lo and behold, Klipsch actually had brand new "old stock" grills in their warehouse! Yeah! I ordered 2 new grills and some Jubilee logos today- only 8 bucks shipping to Florida.

I also ordered new feet from parts express. So between the new tweeters and speaker updates, grills/logo and feet- I expect to end up with a better than new sound!

One more question- what are your thoughts around bi-amping? I was thinking I would get some new Bi-amp speaker cables.

Thanks for your thoughts and experience!

[Opinions for KLF-20 Upgrades]

Hello,

New member to the Klipsch community, but not to their products. I purchased a pair of KLF-20 speakers brand new in spring, 2001.

I still have them and enjoy them very much. I am upgrading my stereo equipment, and would like to upgrade my KLF-20's.

I have heard lots of good things about Bob Crites- and had a great discussion with his son, Mike. He recommended I replace the diaphragms in the K-79

tweeters, and replace the horn drivers and crossover. Sounds good- however- one of the K-79 tweeters stopped working a few yrs. back. I had a K-84 tweeter available, so I simply replaced it with that one. It fit perfectly into the cabinet and still works now. I no longer have the old K-79 that stopped working. Rather than replace diaphragms in 2 different tweeters, I was thinking it might be

a better idea to buy new replacement tweeters that I could simply plug in and replace in the cabinet. Any recommendations for this? Are there Crites tweeters that would fit the bill?

What about the new B&C MAHL Tweeters instead of Crites? Would they be compatible with the new Crites Horn Driver and crossover? I'm happy to spend my money to get a great update on

speakers that I have very much enjoyed nearly 20 yrs. I'm also looking for some new grilles and feet. I listen to mainly classic rock- Lynyrd Skynyrd-Beatles-Deep Purple- etc. thru a fully restored

vintage Marantz 2325 receiver and a KAB modded Technics SL-1200 MK5 turntable and TEAC Reel to Reel. I like lots of puncy, clean bottom end, with clean mids/highs.

I'm a bit of a layman when it comes to technical terms, but I can certainly do my own work to replace/upgrade the speakers.

Any help on this would be most appreciated!!
