    I would search the Forum by the driver series numbers, i.e. K-43, K-44, K-77, K-53, etc and see all the posts that address the permutations of the part numbers. For example, there have been several threads on the K-77 lineage. From these posts, you can get an idea of what part numbers were used in each Heritage model across time.

     

    You probably know that for many years Klipsch bought drivers from Stephens, Eminence, Atlas,  Electro-Voice, etc  and applied their own QA, so, for instance, the "stock" T-35 EV tweeter is not the same as a Klipsch branded K-77 of the same year.

     

    The specs for the Klipsch speakers usually list the drivers for each model, so if you can find the factory listing online, or as a print brochure, you can find the part numbers there. As far as electrical specs, AFAIK, these have been measured after the fact by Forum members; Klipsch did not routinely publish electrical specs on individual drivers.

    It is very difficult and confusing… but it seems someone has done an excel page already… thanks

    R-28F to RF-3 II?

    Here are the diaphragms and XO's:

    CD76TiM Titanium Tweeter Diaphragm - Pair - FREE US Shipping! – Crites Speakers

    RF-3, RF-3 II Crossover - Pair, New - FREE US Shipping! – Crites Speakers

     

    I don't remember which feet I purchased, but basically I purchased a set that has a beam across the bottom of the speaker rather than the floating feet that comes with them.  This relieves some of the stress on the corners and can help with issues with the front baffle and the feet.

    I have the same “02-20144”  as that site…

    I just don’t if the consistency of the ferrofluid is ok… it’s not sticky, it just feels as auto oil….

     

    can you post a picture of the feet?

    we beefed up the diaphragm in the horns too

    Can you please further explain…

    replaced the feet to help with the front baffle separation that some of the earlier Reference II's had.

    I couldn’t find any info either…

    I'm late to this, but to answer your question, you're talking about two fundamentally different series of speaker - as I mentioned in my post that you quoted.  The R-28F's are the lesser of the two, with the IMG cone and aluminum tweeters.  The RF-3's use cerametallic woofers and titanium tweeters.  The 28's - as mentioned - lend themselves to the budget line of Klipsch speakers, while the 3's are more associated with the Reference Premier line.  Although the RF-3's are first generation speakers, they're still some of the best budget pickups you can get, and with very little in the way of upgrades can be made to perform absolutely above and beyond their pricepoint.

    I bought both sets (because of your late response) “just kidding”…. 🤣
    Once they get to me, I still have to ship them down south, I’ll do a comparison. 
    I can only keep 1 pair.

    So, if I decide to to stay with the F3ii’s, what mods do you recommend, I’ve been reading about just changing caps, with better quality ones…

    Not a question of better but the 3s are decent if in good condition including drivers. Both made typically for HT yet music too of course.

    Lateral pass at best. For HT, no discernable difference and not much difference for music. This is even more true for systems with EQ.

    I’ll buy the R-28F then. I like the complete cooper cones look!  Thanks for the input

    The RF-3's would be an upgrade over the R-28F, however if you have the option between the CF-2's and the RF-3, the CF-2's would probably perform better in most scenarios save possibly for Home Theater.  As a reminder, Reference pre-2016 are the lineage that "Reference Premier" draws itself from.  The progression from past to present in Reference is RF-3, RF-3 II, RF-35, RF-82, RF-82 II, RP-820F, RP-802F.  The analog comparison is the R-28F to the SF-3 versus the RP-802F to the RF-3 II.

    Anyone have RF-5’s they are willing to sell?

    I’ve seen R-28F  (2014)  under $200.

    what’s so special about RF5?

    or why not RF-82F

     

    All this model numbers from Klipsch are so confusing. Is there like a comparison chart?

    which one is better?  
     

    I see the only difference from RF3 to RF5 is the size and weight of the cabinet…

     

     

    This is what I have…

    Klipsch order best
