Chris S Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 So a few months ago, I was probably pushing my pair of KG 4s a little too hot. One of the tweeters started producing a scratchy distortion, but ONLY at higher volumes. Still, every time I put the volume up, it would produce that distortion. A week later, I got my pair of Chorus' and put the KG4s in the rear, but never played them since I still had to find a replacement K-74-K tweeter. Or so I thought. A friend wanted to hear the distortion so I fired them up, but amazingly, the distortion was gone! Even at the highest volumes. I did not know how it was possible, but it was good news! So I had been playing them just about every day as the rear surround speakers. Until today. The distortion returned! Just what is going on? Is the tweeter actually blown or is it possibly a problem with the crossover? Or is some kind of internal wiring to be blamed? I always thought that a blown tweeter will sound distorted at ANY volume at ANY time -- so this is perplexing to me. THanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) It could be merely the tweeter diaphragm...Yesterday I pulled my kg2s from the garage...listening to them, I heard some scratchiness from one of the tweeters on some songs, not all the time but... I had a pair of Bob Crites Titanium tweeter diaphragms...I have used these in many Klipsch speakers without disappointment...after replacement my kg2s no longer had that scratchiness, and sounded crisp, clear and clean...articulate...that seems to me to mean that my original diaphragms were not working well... Good luck with your choice... Bill Edited May 23, 2016 by silversport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
