Little Wolf Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hello, I would like to replace tweeter's diaphragms on my KLF30's with Bob Crites's diaphragms. What kind of improvments should I expect? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 phenolic diaphragms are warm rich/smooth and creamy sounding, titanium diaphragms are more detailed smoother in overall response a little more extended in the top end they are more dynamic resolution is better. you should really listen to both and make your own decision, though few are disappointed all the new Klipsch use ti diaphragms. No one can tell you what you will like. If you like any new Klipsch then you will like the ti tweeters and mids in your KLF30 especially the ti mid diaphragms available only from Simply speakers these are original factory parts. Hope this helps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Wolf Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Thanks a lot, James. I own the central C7 (same Legend series): do you suggest to replace diaphragm also on central speaker? Ralf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I cannot recall if the C7 used the one inch ti tweeter diaphragm if it does then yes I would change it to titanium. The only way you will know if you will like this is to try and listen for yourself as only your decision matters to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 the klipsch KLF -30 tweeter driver and diaphragms whether phenolic or Titanium that are made by klipsch , have unique design features , but I doubt that these parts are sold or available from anywhere else than through klipsch at the present time- if you find a pair of Klipsch titanium tweeter diaphragms for the KLF-30 , buy them ASAP -- these are very rare parts to come by as of lately due to the Higher Quality that is shared with the Klipsch Pro series - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtr20 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Yes, the klf-c7 using the same tweeter driver as the klf-30 speakers. If you upgrade the 30s, I highly suggest upgrading the c7 as well to keep the timbre similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Wolf Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 In your opinion new diaphragms require some break-in period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 42 minutes ago, Little Wolf said: In your opinion new diaphragms require some break-in period? opinions differ greatly on this subject... but heres what mr crites says about break in for tweeters & other drivers. & after all they are his tweeters so he probably knows best. Q: How about break in time for drivers or new driver diaphragms? A: Yes, and depends on the size of the driver. Tweeter diaphragm probably break-in at a matter of seconds. They are very low mass and move very little, so any break in would happen almost instantly. Probably happened when the factory tested the diaphragm after manufacture. Midrange are a bit bigger and have a bit more mass. Break-in is probably on the order of minutes with these. Woofers would take the longest. I think that break-in on a 12 to 15 inch woofer would be less than an hour played at pretty good volume using music with a lot of low frequency content.
