babadono Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Ok good guys, how can we help this guy? I'd be pissed too. How long has this been discontinued? No after market diaphragms anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never buy any Klipsch speaker again because of that aweful service. I am very disapointed. Very disappointing news, indeed. At least with many speakers in the Klipsch lineup, you can swap in another component if the original isn't available. Even if not perfect it's not a total loss. Sorry to hear this infomation.

No after market diaphragms anywhere? The Palladium line was discontinued eight years ago in 2016. Replacement parts were available for some time, but that supply is gone. Now you have to find sellers parting out the components of damaged speakers like the seller of the P-17B horn assembly that I poster earlier (https://www.ebay.com/itm/266640005569). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Marvel, do you think another tweeter or diaphragm will fit my Palladium P-37f? That would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could take the tweeter diaphragm out of that. It's a bit steep a price for just a diaphragm, but it might be better than giving up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266640005569 I already saw that offer on ebay, but the price of 750 Dollar is really a little too much. I still hope a different diaphragm will fit as well. But I don't know which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumping this up as several members here can answer with information, I hope. @HenningO Tried simply speakers today. No luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) So, you or other tested the tweeter on the p37f and know the diaphragm is bad, and not a loose or corroded 2 wire connectors...? Thanks! Edited February 2 by billybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Would consider asking a local to you speaker repair shop to look at your horn driver on the tweeter, and diaphragm repair possibilities. If doing this yourself, you could show us the diaphragm without removing and we could see the damage ourselves if visible. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Maybe this while waiting for a replacement to pop-up. Just wondering, as sometimes do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be possible to remove the transducers from the plastic horn section and find ones that would fit. Can you provide photos of the rear of the assembly and, if possible, remove the transducers so we can have a peek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Roy, @Chief bonehead is this guy @HenningO SOL? No current Klipsch driver or replacement diaphragm will work in his Palladium tweeters? Maybe he will have to replace both L and R even though only one is blown to keep them matched? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Yes, some pics might determine what tweeter you could put in there. Some specs on the original would help, too. Many of the drivers used are off the shelf units, that have been slightly tweaked. It's becomes how everything is integrated to make the whole speaker.

Maybe someone has an idea to put it some other tweeter or diaphragm which is still available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMurg Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I doubt that some other diaphragm is going to work. Just about everything for the Palladium series was designed specifically for that line. I don't think parts were shared with other Klipsch speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
