We offer new diaphragms to repair many different Klipsch tweeters. SEE NOTE BELOW
NOTE ABOUT THE K-77 DIAPHRAGMS: The manufacturer has stopped making these diaphragms. I am working with two different manufacturers now trying to get more of these made. I don't know how long this may take or even if I will be able to get them built. This will likely turn into a process where the manufacturer makes samples for me and then I test the samples to determine if they are suitable replacement diaphragms.
Klipsch K-77 Alnico (round magnet) Tweeters.
These tweeters were manufactured by Electro-Voice for Klipsch until about 1979. We have the correct diaphragms for these tweeters made by the same company that originally made them.
These are 8 ohm phenolic diaphragms with copper-beryllium leads. The copper-beryllium leads allow better performance and higher power handling capability than earlier diaphragms.
K-77M Ceramic (square magnet) Tweeters.
These tweeters were also manufactured by Electro-Voice for Klipsch from about 1979 to around 2002. For these tweeters, the diaphragms above may be used, or we also have available diaphragm kits which include the diaphragm pre-mounted in the plastic diaphragm mount. No soldering required for these kits.
One more Klipsch tweeter to discuss here. That is the K-77F. The K-77F is a clone of the K-77M that Klipsch has made in the Philippines. First use of this tweeter was in about 2002. It is basically just a copy of the Electro-Voice manufactured K-77M with minor differences. This tweeter uses the earlier style of diaphragm like the earlier EV tweeters without the improved performance of the copper-beryllium leads. The same diaphragms shown above can be used to rebuild the K-77F.

Here is a later version of the K-77F. This version in used in the current production Klipsch Heritage speakers. In this version, the horn has been redesigned to incorporate mounting tabs on the horn to eliminate use of the Z-brackets for front flush mounting. Uses the same diaphragm as the above K-77F.
Many of the K-77 Alnico tweeters can only make it to around 12 khz. The ceramic magnet K-77Ms can get up to around 16 khz. For a smoother response and for more extended high frequencies (up to 20 khz) and for a more durable and more musical tweeter, we offer our CT-125 replacement for the K-77 and K-77M tweeter.
Our CT-125 tweeter has an Eminence driver and the horn is our design. It is an exact replacement for the K-77 and K-77M. You simply remove the original tweeter and replace it with ours. No changes to the crossover or to the cabinet.

Some later model Klipschorns and Belle Klipsch speakers have a set of brackets attached to the factory tweeter. These models also have a larger cut-out hole in the motorboard than the older models. This combination of the larger hole and the z-brackets attached to the tweeter allow the horn of the tweeter to be extended through the hole in the motorboard so that the horn is flush with the front of the motor board. We also supply our tweeters with the z-brackets attached to replace the ones that are flush mounted.

For the tweeters used in the Heresy II, Forte, Forte II, Chorus, Chorus II, KG series and some others, a different type of tweeter is used. We also have diaphragms for those tweeters. These include the following tweeters:
K-76, K-63, K-74, K-75, K-76, K-79, K-83, K-84, K-85, K-88, K-90, K63, K74, K75, K76, K83, K84, K85, K88, K90
For these tweeters, we offer a choice of a poly type diaphragm or a new titanium diaphragm. For every case, the titanium is better. Smoother in response and extends much higher. The titanium diaphragms are very flat in frequency response all the way out to beyond 20khz.
