Want to buy: Forte 2 crossovers- Crites, ALK (CANCELLED)

the coils rarely if ever go bad unless physical damage or severe abuse from over powering etc.  ive owned quite a few pairs of forte & forte2, chorus2 & many other vintage klipsch models & never had or heard of the other components going bad... its always the caps. 

 

if you can solder, its well worth $20 or less to buy the caps & swap them out.  & if only one x-over/speaker has a problem you can swap the x-overs to see if that fixes the issue.  could also be a bad mid/tweet diaphram causing the sound issue. 

 

best of luck finding what you want but if you're ok with 1 stock x-over, then a small investment & short time to swap caps is a very logical aproach to start with.  also the caps im suggesting are physically the same size & will fit on the boards with no problems.

strange.. so the tweet is blowing right away with just low volume?  not sure what that could be related to the x-over will let other x-over gurus chime in on that one, they should be able to provide measurements with a meter to verify if teh x-over is bad. 

 

but you could still try swapping the x-over from the good speaker to see what happens, or save the chance of blowing another tweet & hope you can locate another single stock x-over or other used upgraded ones.
