Alexander Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 As was posted elsewhere an query to Klipsch for a forte III horn was sent in and this is what came back from them.

wuzzzer Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 That's only the diaphragm. I highly doubt Klipsch will sell the horn to do a diy project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 You gents may very well be right but am willing to try. Here is what was in the message that was sent to Klipsch. I currently have a pair of klf-30's and in shipping one of the mid range horns snapped off at the driver. I have read on the Klipsch forum that the forte III mid horn is virtually a drop-in replacement. If so are they available and if so what is the price for two of these? Granted this is not actually my case but have heard of such cases have happened in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang_flht Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Perhaps ask an official dealer if he can order replacement parts for KLF or Forte III ! Klipsch will definitely sell them if it is to repair a pair of Klipsch For example at https://paducahhometheater.com/ ask Cory Harisson, because I think he orders replacement parts from Klipsch >>> @Paducah Home Theater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 They started requiring serial numbers on pretty much everything so good luck with that. Some cases we have to submit pictures of the damaged item. They're cracking down pretty hard. There was a time where they were doing it for me but end customers had more leeway and could get stuff easier but I think that time has passed.

Guess it is time to move on to more important things, maybe sometime down the road we will re visit this. Have an antenna to put back up for 80/40/20 & 10 meters.
