If I had to give up all my speakers, I'd keep these and a powered sub. You are not alone with this conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantic Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 After some comparison with the leading aftermarket tweeter, which was really remarkable, I've decided to return these to stock and use the super heresy bits in another project, which won't be detailed here. The 51 year old tweeters sounded a little fizzy compared to Dave A's finest, I was frequently checking my turntable stylus to see if it has accumulated lint. This leads me to believe that the diaphragms are in need of replacement- which ones are best? I've seen differing comments and it's difficult to parse it all out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I am pretty sure they all come from the same supplier. Maybe stay away from Simply Speakers. The Klipsch part is here. https://reconingspeakers.com/products-page/klipsch-k77f-127126-diaphragm/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I did ALL of the available mods on my La Scalas. After three years, I just wanted to hear what they used to sound like, and was really surprised when I found out I liked it! The K-77 adds character. Not a thing wrong with it unless you like to listen at earbleed levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the mods that I’ve done on them, but I feel like they deserve their own cabinets as they’re only Klipsch in spirit; I’d like to make these H700‘s as close to stock as possible as a counterpoint and the tweeters are bugging me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K-77 adds character . . . i agree -- the alnico magnet on the k-77 tweeter is quite nice. i think it unfairly gets a bad rap. and like you, i've compared it to more modern alternatives! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
