snugklipsch Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I have a set of KG 1.2 bookshelf speakers that have been sitting for many years, and I now have a use for them. Not currently hooked up to anything, but I remember that one of the tweeters was inoperative. Is there a source to replace it with a new unit? Or, is there a suitable non-factory replacement I can use? I know these are not state-of-the-art, but the cabinets and covers are near perfect, and they will fill my need for a small setup. Thanks! P.S. To the person in NE Iowa who sold me his Klipschorns in 2014 or 2015, they are still perfect and my wife has stopped complaining (about the speakers). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Yes, you might check the specs of the KG-1 and the KG 1.5 Klipsch bookshelves for the bad part to see if using the same as. May open doors for you wider. Google should help locate the specs for the part. Good hunting and put this WTB ad in garage sale section here for more visibility. @snugklipsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend the Crites titanium if you're willing to spend the bucks or there's some cheaper knock offs on eBay if you're on a tight budget but I've never used those so cannot comment on their quality or longevity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought about it but you might want to swap tweeters first or pull the bad one and check it with a meter to isolate the problem before throwing money at it just to be sure. could be a loose wire or crossover problem you never know until you check. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschguy Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Go to eBay & type in “Klipsch 1.2”. There is a factory diaphragm listed. Beware of aftermarket diaphragms as they rarely test as well as the OEM part. You could also buy a complete K 1.2 speaker and harvest any parts you need. Be sure and test the current tweeter first.
