K-33 15" Woofer upgrade: spec match to the preferred mid 70's version of this woofer, but with a much heavier magnet system and 15Hz lower resonance to get a much deeper, richer bass response, $145 ea, this woofer also has 4x the power handling of the stock K33, so you can use moderate electronic bass EQ to further enhance the low end. Heresy 12" upgrade woofer: long throw version of the original, takes low bass input much better, $85 each, all new [currently on special for $79] Midrange driver [k 55]: We have located a very high quality replacement for the old EV / Atlas / University drivers found in the classic Klipsch horn loaded mids, only $79 each, this driver is built more heavily and can take the low crossover point [~450Hz] of the larger Klipsch speakers without distorting. The original drivers should really never be run below 700Hz, as a result the lower midrange lacks detail and can be quite distorted, especially at higher volume levels. Our new driver has usable response down to 400Hz [horn permitting], and is rated at 120w RMS crossed over as low as 500Hz. These also use the older type phenolic diaphragms to maintain the "classic" sound lacking in most modern drivers, which almost universally have harsher sounding metal diaphragms. Building your own Klipsch "clone" speakers?? We can also supply horn lenses for the midrange driver, crossover parts, as well as alternate choices for the woofer and tweeter. K 77 Tweeter note: We are sold out of our NOS EV T35 / K 77 tweeters, that's it, no more. In short there is no other tweeter that will fit the Klipsch cabinets without considerable modification. We do have a tweeter that does a good job and costs under $50, but as with all potential replacement tweeters, due to the horn size it must be mounted on top of the cabinet. If you want a set of original tweeters, I suggest keeping an eye on eBay, as well as your local pawn shops and used music equipment stores. Klipsch is supposed to have reproductions available soon, but the price is about $200 each. Originals on eBay often go for $200 - $300 per pair used. Don't bother with the plastic "look alike" tweeters that sell for ~$35, they're junk. Crossover upgrades: we can provide any parts you need to upgrade/ repair you Klipsch crossovers, or parts kits to build the new "ALK" type crossovers [at very reasonable prices]. OEM replacement parts for these two brands are typically very expensive [read=overpriced] and can take a long time to arrive. For example: an Infinity 8" woofer that should sell for about $45 costs $99. Where reasonable cost surplus drivers are not available, we have usually found suitable upgrade replacements from other brands that will give better performance at a prices lower than the OEM parts. We also make extensive use of "brandmate" parts, particularly in the case of tweeters. The same drivers are often cosmetically changed then used in various speaker brands owned by the same parent company [Harman Intl. in this case]. The price of a given part may vary as much 50% depending on which brand name a part is sold under, so by selecting the best "way" to get a particular part we can frequently chop the price dramatically. Reconing of JBL cast frame pro audio woofers is usually the best option for them, but can be expensive. Many older JBL drivers are "repair only", with no new replacements available at all. Better quality equivalents of many consumer grade JBL and Infinity drivers [woofers and tweeters] are often available for 30%-50% less than the OEM parts. Call for options on your particular model. We have a few Infinity 5.25" midrange drivers currently available, see the specials section for more info. We also have some JBL 5" high output mids for $29 each [very short supply].
