51coronet Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I picked up a set of KP250. Hooked them up and noticed they were much louder than my la scalas hmmm. Turns out both tweeters are blown. What is a replacement diaphragm for the tweeters? Is this correct https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Factory-Speaker-Repair-Diaphragm-Titanium-K-79-K-100Ti-D-K100Ti/111975849301?hash=item1a1247dd55:g:Gz8AAOSwBLlVZQHQ I'm fine going to titanium if it is a correct replacement. Nothing I find references the k792 tweeter. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The Crites titanium diaphrams are the correct (and BEST!) replacement. I recently put them in a pair of K-792’s I got off Ebay for a song. They now reside in my Forte II’s. The K-792 have the same (smaller) magnet as the K-76. With a little filing to the top of the lens where the bolts attach, the larger magnet from a K-75 (or K-79) will fit that lens and effectively give you a K-107-ti. The screws are longer on the K-792 to accomodate the phase plug insert not present on a K-79/75/76. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KP-250 II uses the k-792, the Tractrix version of the k-79. 9 minutes ago, geoff. said: The Crites titanium diaphrams are the correct (and BEST!) replacement.

It's odd you say the magnet is smaller, I have two pairs and they are the same size as my k-75's and k-79's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Maybe the seller swapped out the magnets? I really just wanted the tractrix lenses as I had spare K-79s. I think the K-792’s came with the crappy black poly diaphragms too... Here are the two magnet structures side by side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
