Article in 2/05 AudioXpress outlines how to upgrade Klipschorn with JBL 2404H.
Conclusion:
"Good horn tweeters are expensive, and the JBL 2404H is no exception. A new pair will set you back about $550. ... In my opinion, the investment is entirely worthwhile."
Oooops!

Neato!Thanks for the heads up!
That'd raise the net worth of those Klipschorns to roughly $559.98...
Tisk, tisk, tisk.....

The Oooops! is for the $$$$. Author waits until the last paragraph to mention THAT part. WE know used ones are available much more reasonably, though.
Another good quote:
"The improvement over the [stock EV] T35 is by no means subtle. It is decidely obvious. High frequencies are reproduced with extreme clarity and detail. The assumed excellent dispersion characterisitcs of the bi-radial horn configuration are confirmed too, evidenced by a complete lack of "beaming."
Note: It's not a simple swap. Author designs an builds a new crossover HF section, and describes how to disconnect the HF section of various versions of the stock crossover....
Thank god some people buy this stuff new so that we can buy it later used, or better yet unused.

BTW: I read the article and thought it was fairly thorough and well thought out.
FYI - I have heard a Klipschorn modified with the 2404 and it is a very nice improvement and well worth the change for any so inclined. Asthetics is the only issue - I have run across the same using the 2404 in my project (pictures of progress coming soon) - it either makes your horn section wider or taller than most other three ways...
