rklosinski Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I purchased a pair of Forte I's, and they came with a pair of PHT-409 (B-52 Matrix M6C-Comp) horn tweeters and a pair of Crites CD76TiM Domes. Should I replace the domes in my existing tweeters with those from Crites? Should I replace the entire tweeter with the PHT-409. If I do any replacements, should I change the tweeter filter in the crossover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 the Forte 1 crossover was not designed for Titanium diaphragms , but it seems to work ok ... klipsch sell Original ti diaphragms klipsch part #127123 /$35 ,it can handle 2x the power with Professional klipsch speakers @jjptkd sampled the PHT-409 (B-52 Matrix M6C-Comp and he can tell you how it sounds ?

I purchased a few pairs just for the horn lenses to make my DPHL with B&C de-120 drivers but never listened to them I can say that the magnet structure is much smaller than the stock forte k-75 tweeter more similar in size to the Heresy II & Quartet k-76 tweeter. The horn lens itself is identical to the newer style Tractrix tweeter horns used in the Pro series and Heresy III & Cornwall III. @rklosinski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
