MoreCowbell Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I have a pair of Klipsch KLF 20s and I was curious if whether or not you guys knew of a genuine upgrade for the tweeter. I already have the crites ti upgrades. I'm just looking for something that has a bit bite to it. I just constantly feel like I'm missing something. I was just asking if anyone has used or heard of any good tweeter upgrades. Thanks for the response. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two pairs of KLF-30's and I was surprised that when I compared the new K-79 MAHL's to the stock drivers with titanium diaphragms, the stock/titaniums sounded dead and much less detailed in comparison. The K-79 MAHL tweeters with the B&C DE10 drivers sound very 'Klipsch like' and take the high frequencies to another level of quality. They breathe new life into the sound.

If you want something with a bit of a bite see if Dave A has any drop horns with a de 120 tweeter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummagumma-89 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 i Purchased the B&C DE-120's in my Heresy II's. Fantastic sounding, Now I'm considering upgrading the diaphrams in the stock squawkers to compliment the new tweets. To my ears, the stock squawks sound paired with brand new tweeters. I assume they are original diaphrams from 1986. Going to try that out eventually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would make sure that is done before replacing tweeters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The K-79 is 3dB less sensitive than the K-77, and the de-120 is even hotter still. So, I don't see how you can just drop it in without padding it down some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
