[NJARC] KLH tweeter?

[Matt Reynolds]

All,


I know many of you folks on this list are much more knowledgeable on hi fi gear than I am, so hoping one of you can help me out.  A few years back I picked up a pair of KLH model 17s at one of our swap meets and have been using them for awhile.  I had noticed that one of the two always sounded quieter, and I figured it was due to the crossover caps (I didn't have the exact same ones that were in there originally handy, so I improvised).  I started tearing into it to see if I could improve it or check the connections and found it sounds funny because the tweeter is bad.  After checking the other one, I found that this wasn't even the original tweeter for the unit anyway.


Can anybody point me in the right direction of a replacement tweeter, preferably the one that is supposed to go in here, or at least one from the right era\construction that should match how the other one sounds?  I really don't want to get rid of these as they are pretty solid construction and I was relatively happy with one blown, so I don't want to get too entrenched in high-value, hi fi gear, as I already have way more hobbies and projects than hours of the day that are "mine".


For what it's worth the one that was in here was supposed to measure 8 ohms and was about 55,000 ohms.


I don't know all their is to know about the KLH brand, but I imagine their tweeters went into multiple speakers that they made.  They look similar to the 24s I also have (which are working).


Regards,

Matt
