Cornwall III Ti tweet upgrade

I have searched, but cannot find discussion of replacing the Cornwall III K-107 Ti tweeter withe the LMAHL V2. Has this been done? Was there noticable difference? I know it is replacing Ti with Ti. I didn't know if the LMAHL V2 was just plain a better design or not much difference.

I am going to upgrade mine to LMAHL V2 if others have heard an increase in sound quality.

The LMAHL has a Mylar diaphragm in the b&c DE10. It is considerably less fatiguing and more revealing.
Thank you for correcting me. I did not know the LMAHL was a different diaphragm material. So that explains some of what I was not understanding. It is not simply replacing TI with Ti.

Does anyone have any personal experience with replacing the Klipsch K-107 Ti tweeter with the LMAHL?

DaveTN lets you return the product, just like Part Express does. No One ever has. Buy with confidence, then rave later here.
 
Tweeter diaphragms have gone from rare earth metals to synthetic polymers. It's amazing. IMO the polyester (Mylar) sounds better too.

I don't have any direct experience with the K-107, but I do have a K-79 and a couple Klipsch 1" Ti Mid drivers. I find them to be rather harsh and fatiguing compared to drivers with phenolic and mylar diaphragms. Quite a few oldheads like the brightness of Ti diaphragms because it offsets their hearing loss in the upper range, which I can sympathize with, because I have significant HF hearing loss myself, however, I much prefer the mylar diaphragms used in the B&C DE10 and DE120 that @Daveintn uses in the L-MAHL and sMAHL for the way they produce transients, which I find to me much more natural sounding.
 
Does anyone have any updates on replacing the K107 tweeter? I’d also like to know whether the LMAHL with B&C DE10 requires additional attenuation or is a perfect drop-in replacement.
It’s really difficult to find out anything about this replacement!

I believe DaveinTN chose specifically as a drop-in replacement. I've had them in my Heresy II's for a couple years now and didn't add anything, also didn't add the optional attenuator pot (didn't need it). The sound difference still amazes me every time I listen to them. It's nice to own something that brings a smile to your face every once in a while.
