attanasio666 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hello, I am planning to change the tweeter diaphragms on my Forté IIs. I'm wondering if anyone know which is better between the Crites tweeter and the Klipsch titanium tweeter(from simplyspeakers.com)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlthess40 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Ive had both and really like the sound out of the klipsch drivers over the others, just a tad little sizzle from them after 40 or more hours of playing them. The KI and some of the kpt lines used the titanium drivers and never had any problems with them. Sure people would ***** about blowing them, but when you do stupid things like have the power turned all the way up when you turn the system on is just stupid If you use them and take care not to over driver them, then you in the sweet spot with them. If these are older speakers ( over 10 years ) I would replace the caps on the crossovers. That way you know that the drivers are only getting what they should be getting.

They were nice, but if I had to do it again I would use this brand. This brand was great in my Heresy speakers; much better than a titanium upgrade. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224152702930?hash=item34308acfd2:g:6jcAAOSwBF5d5TWS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlthess40 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I have two sets of Dave’s tweeters, one pair are the wood ones. Love the sound from both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
