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

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......

The original tweeter in all of these are the Klipsh K77, a Klipsch branded EV T-35. They are excellent tweeters. Originally, the diaphragms came with very fine wires attached, kind of like a human hair. They frequency burned out. But replacement diaphragms are available with beryllium/copper leads that will not burn out. 

Replacing the diaphragm will be tricky for the novice, but is doable. Or one of the speaker repair houses can do it. 

A big step up from the EV T-35 is the EV T-350. They are spendy on the used market and may require a bigger hole to be cut in the cabinet.

Bob Crites makes a replacement tweeter that  a drop in and is based on a currently available horn tweeter. They are not to my taste but YMMV.
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.
