I'm pretty sure the diaphragm he offers is perfectly suited for my needs. Identical imho. Crites customer service and pricing are excellent across almost their entire range of products, and they do not sell an inferior product. As far as I know, everything they sell is tested and is released for sale with full transparency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Lol, putting words in people's mouth... Think a takeaway is Crites has good replacement and decent customer service that is quick and reliable. Alright then...☕ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course this is just my opinion based on my experiences so take it for what it's worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would depend on the part-- in the case of this tweeter diaphragm as long as the prices were close and I knew shipping would be reasonably quick I'd probably stick with the Klipsch part but that is not the case and I consider the Crites part to be more or less equal to factory quality so service wins the day here. Honestly I'm sure Klipsch parts dept. has better things to do anyway than hassle themselves with these types of parts requests better to keep the lines open for more important orders, parts that aren't readily available in secondary markets. Again, just my opinion here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
