I have some ALK crossovers on the way and some Crites diaphragms to put in. I want these to look as good as they sound!

Good choice.  The Crites diaphragms are light years ahead of the Klipsch part, and the ALKs are light years ahead of the other vendor mentioned above.

Thanks but I already have the diaphragms and ALK crossovers will be here in a few weeks. I have Crites diaphragms in my KG 4.2 for home theater and love the sound of them.

Do you know for sure where the Klipsch Ti diaphragms are made? Do you know for a fact the Klipsch diaphragms are not made in China too?

Uh, I never said that. I just said I'm happy with the ones I bought. I have no idea where any of them are made and have not heard the Klipsch diaphragms. They 100% smoothed out the top end on the speakers I installed them on.

John , It's sad , for close to the same price as the Aftermarkets  , from Klipsch Parts , you could have purchased and enjoyed the Superb  sound  of the Klipsch TI Diaphragm of the Forte IV -Heresy IV -Cornwall IV , in your Forte 1

I definitely wouldn't describe my experience with Crites diaphragms as "sad".

The veneer and finish are looking great.

 

I have some satin black Heresy IIs that I've thought of veneering, but I have enough things going on. Plus, where they sit I mostly see black grills, and I have walnut JBL 4311s to look at. 😏

Thanks it took me a while but I'm happy with how they turned out. Much better than the black! I have JBL L50 and L100 in walnut as well.
