ka7niq Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I have Cornwall II's, and replaced the stock tweeters with Titanium ones from Bob Crites. Now, I see the Cornwall III has Titanium tweeters. I wonder IF they are the same, and if they are not, if they will work with a Cornwall 2 crossover ?

Groomlakearea51 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 They are not the same. The CT-125's are an Eminence driver with a special K-77 type horn lens made for Bob to allow for direct "screw on" of the driver and match the dimensions and bolt pattern of the K-77's. The new K-77-F's are made by somebody else, and I don't have the name of the manufacturer/ supplier. That change dates back a number of years ago when Electrovoice stopped making the venerable original K-77's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Klipsch is aware of the Titanium Tweeter made for Bob by Eminence, they read this board. I wonder why they simply did not go to Eminence for their new titanium tweeter, unless they felt theirs is better ? As a Cornwall owner yourself, you MUST wonder about the new Cornwall 3 tweeter for your Cornwalls, don't you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted September 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 10, 2010 The Cornwall lll also has titanium midrange [:|] BOTH are the exact same parts in the Heresy lll. I am sure Groomlake has heard the difference, I know he has had some of Bob's tweeters and has heard the Cornwall lll when he was here. I have never heard them side by side ?

Blvdre Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The CT-125 does not have a titanium diaphragm. I believe it's phenolic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
