KT88 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 The old K77 Alnico have a 2 watt load, the K77M supposedly can cope 5 watt. If I put new diaphragms in an old K77 Alnico, earlier a 2 watt load, like the new diaphragms in the link below, will the tweeter have a 5 watt load? Or does it have nothing to do with the voice coil? https://www.simplyspeakers.com/klipsch-replacement-speaker-diaphragm-89486a-faceplate.html BTW I am very glad that I found this offer. Over the years, as far as I know, the problem was that there were no replacement diaphragms of reliable quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I thought whether or not they had beryllium leads was what made the difference between 2 wt and 5 wt K77s. I thought most of the F models did not have the beryllium leads. Does anyone know for sure? Also, I heard that the company in the Philippines that made the F didn't get it right at first, but did, later. Again, does somebody know?

The voice coil is what burns out when they blow. Know this from experience. You should have a 5 watt tweeter when you switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
