Titanium Voice Coils - where to get best price?


I have a pair of Vintage Klipsch kg2’s and am considering replacing the voice coils with Titanium voice coils. Does anyone know where I can find the best price for them?

I appreciate all info and feedback.

 

Thanks!

So..... what is it about Ti formers in this particular speaker that got the OP so interested??

And why just the former but not the diaphragm for instance?? Is there such a beast already?

Sorry, of course I'm familiar with Ti based formers, but when I ask for "such a beast" I'm asking if the OP has heard or seen of the same model speakers having different drivers.

What got him thinking that taking this model of speaker and swapping out the voice coil alone was a good thing?

@erik_squires I actually just read something in a thread about titanium voice coils and wanted to try it out with hopes to improve SQ with my speakers for less than replacing them.  Btw, where is DIY audio?

@tsacremento I read somewhere that titanium voice coils would improve SQ and wanted to try it before considering new speakers.

@audiokinesis thanks!

OK, so you first need to know something about why all drivers are different, require different cabinets and crossovers, impedance curves, etc.

It's very rare that you can find a drop-in replacement for a driver and I've never heard of a case where a manufacturer has the identical driver, except with Ti voice coil. 

I mean, of course you can find woofers with Ti voice coil formers, but all the other speccs are different so you are really talking about building an entirely different speaker.

I suggest that instead of attempting a hack like this you build your own from a kit first.
