jjptkd Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hello just curious about these drivers in the RF-7's and the odd-ball k-70g. I have the original RF-7's and wonder if the newer K-701g drivers are a better driver? Also I have a pair of K-70g drivers and was wondering if how close they are to the k-701g's? I can find info on the original RF-7 driver the k-67 quite easily but nothing on the other two drivers any input would be appreciated thanks!

jjptkd Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 No info out there on the k-701g or k-70g? I'm curious how they compare spec wise to the k-67v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 The K70-G is also used as the mid driver in the Forte III for whatever that's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 No info out there on the k701? I have the k67 in my rf5s curious if they'd be a worthwhile replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Digging around on the net these drivers appear to be from Fane International the CD-130 looks closest but specs dont match up at least of their current model. At least it resembles the k-70 / 701g really cant believe there is no info out there on a driver Klipsch has been using for over 10 years .

pzannucci Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Here's where some of the measurement tools from Parts Express comes in handy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlaurel Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Also, the Klipsch RF-83/63 tweeter K-71-G looks very similar to the FANE CD-131. The studs are however slightly wider on the Fane. K-79-G: 1" throat. 2.86" stud diagonal distance. 1.25" diaphragm Fane CD-131: 1" throat. 3" stud diagonal distance. 1.375" diaphragm Is Fane the OEM for these Klipsch drivers?

SonicBionic Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Nice info on the K-71-G....very interesting possibly made by Fane. I use this driver with a small 3000hz horn as part of a three-way DIY set-up. Really lovely sounding tweeter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 So I've been in contact with Speaker Exchange, apparently there is a K-70-g II coming out in the next week or two, not sure what they will look like: Hello Jesse, Original driver 128033 is unavailable but we will have a pair of 1068435 available in about a week or so. That is the K70G gen 2 driver. Those are $89.00 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that the drivers/horns have to be very similar to the K 50.1 used in the RB 75. I am good friends with a fantastic cabinet maker so I'll just have to come up with ports and crossovers for something RB 75 ish.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longdrive03 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 If the K70G driver is used in the Forte III does anyone know the crossover point or have a schematic for FIII? If it is a tweeter driver why is it being used as a mid driver in FIII?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
