JohnKuthe Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I did the Bob Crites Type AA Balancing Networks. I think a pair of new top quality Crites tweeters might be nice too! John Kuthe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Give Bob Crites a phone call and he will be happy to discuss your options and the the one which will best suit your needs. You won't find a nicer more Klipsch knowledgeable person to deal with than Bob. https://critesspeakers.com/contact_us.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MookieStl Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 CT 125s are nice. CT 120s are nicer for not a lot more $. Either would be an improvement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted July 25, 2019 Klipsch Employees Share Posted July 25, 2019 the ones you buy at KLIPSCH...Unless you are working on a crites speaker.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 @Trey Cannon Would those be the the more original K-77 style or the new Klipschorn style tweeters? Are there any that go to 20k? Speaking of buying parts from Klipsch, would you guys happen to have any of the Belle crossovers from the last iteration before they were discontinued in 2005? I think Roy said they were the AB-3'? Maybe that was the last one. I thought I'd read where "Klipsch isn't in the business to sell parts"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The new tweeter Klipsch is using looks like a Celestion, and the horn appears to be much bigger than the one on the K-77. Therefore, it cannot be used to replace/upgrade the K-77. Also, unless you have a serial number from a current Heritage loudspeaker that is using the new tweeter, you won't be able to buy the part. So, the only thing you can get from Klipsch is a new K-77 to replace a K-77, which obviously doesn't make any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at that...some one that knows more than a 20 year klipsch employee....how about that. You can listen to others or call parts and get the K-77-D Which IS the same driver as you have now (only new) with a different mounting horn on it...remove your horn and put it on the new driver....all done. This is a replacement for the old products. Not the new AK-5. IF you have a bad driver, this will get you working right. I would not replace a working driver with a new working driver... No you can not get the new driver or use it in an old speaker without work. (Which we can't help with) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to contact parts for the network...My guess is we have none...We do have a schematic if you want to build one yourself. $30 or so in parts (unless you buy the crazy cost parts.) We use 10% tolerance parts. The ckt is built to work with that level of part. anything different can be out of spec. 20 kHz....we can't hear that anymore anyway (well, I can't anyway)...sorry, no parts for that. We carry some replacement parts. You have a speaker and can prove it and we have the part...cool. You call up wanting to build your own speaker.....no go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We carry some replacement parts. You have a speaker and can prove it and we have the part...cool. You call up wanting to build your own speaker.....no go. Roy and I had emailed back and forth a couple of years ago about the crossovers when I told him I was a building a pair of Belle clones. He mentioned those and thought there might be some, and looked, but couldn't find any either. If you could email or message me the schematic, that would be great. I wonder if it's the same one that's been posted in another thread before. Hmm... Did you personally hear that last generation of Belles with the last crossovers, per chance? Was just wondering if it's worth the time, effort, and expense of building them and it not be something that was preferred. Yeah, I get what you're saying on the 20khz part. I struggle with that too. ha And it makes sense to me on the selling of parts to anyone other than an official serial number owner. I was a manufacturers rep for 9 years and did 15 years of retail before that so I completely understand and personally fielded a lot of questions of people asking for parts "just to build something". Thanks for the info, Trey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
