I am already a member there and I just created a " new " account and it took me not even 2 minutes to complete.

what kind of problem are you having ????
Addyson......I'm not a computer person so I have to take what I can get...And figuring out how to get in the Klipsch forum is not real high on my "to do list"  I really don't want to write a book on this, I just want a couple peoples opinions......
autospec....

if its so hard....I will post the question for you over there....its no big deal and if somebody replies, can give you the link.

The OEM tweeters are expensive, and more expensive in recent years.  I think it is the K77 as mentioned above.  I went to Klipsch themselves for them and they tried to discourage me from buying them.  Not sure if the same tweeter was used thru out the entire production run.
I have the less expensive Crites replacement in the pair of 1974 Cornwalls
not sure about SQ but Bob seems to know a bit...
i use them as garage rockers so critical listening is done with beer and power tools....

I have an old EV S12-S cabinet that may have a bad tweeter. It's the ST350A which has the round magnet like the older Klipsch K77. I replaced it once before.  I emailed Bob Crites about it and he told me there are NO good replacement diaphragms for these at all. He said the one's on eBay are not very good.

The Horn measures 5" X 6" and I don't really want to cut into the cabinet to fit a replacement horn/driver. I want to use the cab for electric and acoustic guitar so it may not be as critical but I'd prefer to rebuild the original if I can with something that will last.

Has anyone heard a good replacement diaphragm?
Simply Speakers has a replacement diaphragm 89486A but other than the reviews on their site I have seen much info on it so I don't know if it's just another supposedly inferior China import part.

Viridian, thanks for your input on this, its always good to hear from a hands on person.....So many of the observations are made by people that do not have first hand experience with this type thing.....Thanks
