Not sure what are you talking about.

 

You can’t use the Ti diaphragms or use the Ti drivers without modifying the network. The parts go in between the autoformer and driver. Klipsch doesn’t sell the filter section separately.

 

Since it a non Klipsch mod, the Klipsch alternative is the Heresy III upgrade kit - which is really the correct way to do it. 

Yeah, if I was going to spend $$ on Ti mids, I'd likely look at the full Heresy III upgrade.  But, I'd prefer to stay stock Heresy II and save some cash

there is no need to modify the HII crossover to add a bandpass filter  , the bandpass filter is separate from the H II crossover  

Yes, but I'm looking for a low-cost repair.  A single phenolic mid vs two Ti mids + two bandpass filters... quite a difference in the cost of repair.

bump... still looking.    please let me know if you've got an extra!!

I have some 52ti drivers. But not the originals.

 

Thanks - just looking to replace the original without crossover mod.  Still searching... there must be one out there from a Heresy III upgrade...

Looking for a single phenolic K53-K midrange / squawker diaphragm (as original in the Heresy II).

 

Maybe someone has upgraded to the Heresy III Ti diaphragms and has their originals??  Let me know if you do!

 

Same driver is used in Heresy II, Cornwall II, Quartet, Forte, Forte II, Chorus, Chorus II, KLF Series.

[Tractrix Horn Crack Repair - Type of Plastic?]

I used ABS cement for the fix.  It is pretty thick stuff... tried to blow it into the crack by spreading it / using compressed air.  It seemed to work ok.  On the back side, added a glob of abs cement along the crack and allowed it to dry.  We'll see how it holds up.

I would use ABS cement for the ABS horn. Press some masking tape over the face side of the cracks to keep cement from oozing out onto the visible side. Then using a small applicator, force the plumbers ABS cement (from Home Depot, Lowes or Menards, etc.) into the backside of the cracks. Keep the screw hole clean, promptly wiping excess cement with a Q-tip if needed.

So are you saying that these are ABS plastic?  As others have suggested, knowing the type of plastic seems key to the optimal repair.  

[Tractrix Horn Crack Repair - Type of Plastic?]

My Forte II tratrix midrange horns have developed cracks.

 

I'm looking for repair recommendations... considering plastic welding, plastic epoxy (ex: JB weld), 'black toughened' cyanoacrylate.  Right now, leaning toward a plastic weld (on back side of horn) with epoxy as needed for filler (applied with toothpick).  Other suggestions welcome!

 

For plastic welding or epoxy, it would be good to know the type of plastic used for the horn body... any help here?

…just a caveat, if and when you get your new horn, take extreme care when tightening it

 

These old(er) plastic horns really crack easy (ask me how I know).

 

My new friend is Krazy Glue.

 

 

I may try glue and/or plastic welding (from back side).  Any idea what type of plastic is used for the horn body?

 

[Wanted: Forte II Midrange Horn Body]

Thanks - I've been searching but so far have only found 'sold' ones (also with drivers... not that I couldn't use spares):

 

 

[Wanted: Forte II Midrange Horn Body]

My Forte II horns have developed cracks.  

 

Looking for some horn bodies (no drivers needed).  K-61-K, same as those used in Chorus II.
