Pandy Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Does anyone recommend new diaphragms for the Chorus I speakers? I may upgrade the tweeters but I'm not sold on replacing them with Titanium, looking for alternatives. I did a search on this forum, didn't find what I was looking for.

Mallette Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Wouldn't touch them if I were you. If there was better match Klipsch would be using them. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtr20 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I personally love Crites titanium tweeters. You could always get a set of MAHL tweeters from @Dave A. I haven't heard these in modern heritage, but others have and like them. This will be a more expensive route since its the entire horn and driver replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandy Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Do tweeters get worn or dulled after thirty years? I was just wondering if they could be replaced with something similar than the ones that they came with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there better diaphragms imo yes are there better diaphragm/drivers imo yes, ymmv. If you are pleased with the sound leave them alone. Has Klipsch switched from Phenolic to other materials, yes to titanium. For around 50 bucks you can buy a pair of titanium tweeter diaphragms from Bob Crites and decide for yourself if you like them better or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your crossovers have not had the caps replaced, I would start there. Then see if you don't like the tweeters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chorus1 Fan Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Get the "Crites" titanium diaphragms for a MAJOR sound improvement for minimal $$$. If you're worried about them sounding harsh, they won't 😃. If you want to do more, here's some ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Go with Dave A's Large MAHLs lens and DE10 tweeter combo. Money back guarantee if that hasn't changed. You won't send em back, trust me. PM him if intersted @Dave A. I had them in my Chorus and KI 362 II and loved them in both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Recap those crossovers and use a 68uf Audyn poly cap from Parts Express for the woofer circuit, not the electrolytic ones. Every Chorus I get is recapped and yes all those old mylar caps are no good. Best cheap most dollar effective Chorus upgrade is recapping.

MechEngVic Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 PRV Audio D230Ti-B 1" Titanium Horn Compression Driver 8 Ohm 2/3-Bolt. under 60 bucks for a pair, modify existing horn lens to fit bigger 3 bolt pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just purchased a pair of Choruses last week and listened to them for 5 days before recapping per Dave A's suggestion. I never thought that recapping would make such a difference! I have recapped multiple other speakers and not heard such a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
