Titanium Diaphragms - Crites vs Others


Crang

Recommended Posts

Considering replacing the phenolic diaphragm in my H2 tweeters with titanium. Crites seems to be the gold standard. Their price seems to have jumped from $54 to $82 somewhat recently. There are other places offering titanium diaphragms for less- Midwest Speaker Repair for $60 then a bunch of fly by nights on ebay. So my question is are they all created equal or is it worth shelling out the bit extra for the Crites?

 

Thanks in advance....

I had a look at some of those “deals” on eBay. They have very loose tolerances on the diaphragm thickness.

 

Crites or OEM Klipsch would be the only two options for my OCD. 

 

One word of advice, whichever you choose, others on here have mentioned to treat them gingerly when installing and I found out first hand what they meant. The leads are very fragile.

The Crites TI diaphragm is an Aftermarket titanium  stamped dome tweeter , which is a  klipsch clone sold by several online vendors .

 

the Gold Standard Ti Diaphragm  is Made by Klipsch ,   it's used on the Heresy III  and Heresy IV  as well as the Cornwall III and Cornwall IV ,   part number is  127123 and it costs about  $35/each

So would the Klipsch made one drop in to the H2 K-53 tweeter without the need to change the crossover? That was one of the attraction to the Crites.

 

So if a non-klipsch made diaphragm is purchased it would be the same from all the other vendors? Thanks-

I think you are right- otherwise Id always wonder if whatever I had were as good as those.
