Is the T-35 from John Allen currently used by Klipsch in their Heritage models -- More re: High Performance Stereo (HPS)


Recommended Posts

Hi -- Does anyone know whether the T-35 super tweeter is now being produced for Klipsch by Dai-Ichi and being supplied by High Performance Stereo (HPS) of Henderson, NV?

 

The following article from 2010 seems to indicate so.

As I mentioned in the previous post, HPS is utilizing Crites AG-55G mid-range drivers in their theater speakers.

 Interesting article but it is dated- Klipsch has moved on from this style tweeter a few years ago now and have switched to Celestion drivers.

Does anyone know why they went to Celestion for tweeter?  Which mid-range driver is used in the current Heritage line?

Superior performance characteristics of response, range and output along with tight manufacturing tolerances for the Celestion tweeter. The horn assembly is a Klipsch tractrix profile.

Nope.  Crites is reselling John Allen's A-55G.  Mr. Allen spent a small fortune improving, slightly, the 2-piece phase plug PD-5VH.  Apparently, Mr. Allen did sell his T-35 to Klipsch as a K-77-F.

Until just now, the were using the pre 1980 version of the K-55-V.
