Klipsch driver help needed please


I was wondering if you might be able
to give me some suggestions on Klipsch drivers.
I have a midrange (squawker) that is sort of buzzing/distorted during some but not all passages.

Does it sound like a blown driver/squawker?? Can they be
blown??

These are 1989 La Scalas (midrange) (K 55-M model #)

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, they would
be greatly appreciated.

Check with bcrites on eBay. He's great for that sort of thing. He's also on the Klipsch forum. Rebuilds crossovers as well.
Mods:
1)Rebuilt crossovers (talk to Bob Crites)--about $80

2)Re-wire with 16ga silver http://www.percyaudio.com
He also has 3/16" spades. Cost me about $150 to re-wire our K-horns.

3)Dampen the horns by wrapping them with Dynamat, or the like. Takes all the shout out, and forces the music into the room more.

Some people on the Klipsch forum will baste you for re-wiring with silver ("Waste of money," they say), but I can tell you that it makes a big difference. The music has more clarity, drive, and sounds much more immediate.

Best of luck,
Howard
