I believe that used heritage speakers are reflecting their true value . For many years they had been wrongly viewed by some as ancient , old school technology , but recently , people are taking another look , and showing renewed respect. Respect is what they deserve , as many benefits are to be found in these horn loaded speakers . . Competing manufacturers , tend to offer only paper cone “type” drivers in their products , these type of speakers can’t fully compete with the many desirable characteristics that a good horn loaded speaker can deliver on. Many people are fine with paying a bit of a premium for the upgraded clarity (realism)dynamics and the efficiency that a good horn loaded speaker can deliver . Klipsch heritage is a unique item , finely built, made in USA , well worth their price🤓

we had the boy over for Vet Day dinner ... man food tomahawk steaks on the bbq sorry ... no pics they were very good. .......fresh grass fed beef - not aged. It has a different texture. Tender and sort of crisp, like an apple. was wife's idea to do them on the bbq . "Easier" she sez. which translates to, it IS easier for her, because I'm the one doing it ...

Outstanding deal on these!

Thank you all for your feedback and advice. I decided that I'm going to pass on the 6000Fs. I'm leaning toward picking up a pair of the 600s though. I figure I could buy those, move the 41s to my surrounds (my current surround speakers are pretty bare bones), and have some money leftover to put toward movies.

Richard, you have a thyratron. Its uses are described under “typical circuits” section of the data sheet. It really has no use in audio equipment but may have some value to collectors of old WE stuff. Maynard

I picked mine up years ago for $400 to play with my other two HGS-15's supporting a trio of La Scala's. The servo in these units ensure extremely low clean distortion free bass as it monitors cone movement thousands of time a second. Yes they are old but even the new Klipsch subs can't dig as deep regardless of what the specifications indicate. I owned one Klipsch subwoofer a KSW-15 that I bought new and it was a POS. Boxed in back up and sold it. The only worthwhile subs Klipsch has ever produced are the RSW line and the THX Ultra's. The rest are mediocre at best and the self destructing plate amp issues have plagued Klipsch for years. However, the eBay asking price is well beyond optimistic maybe $500 to $800 tops if it is in perfect working order. If the servo circuit goes in these getting it repaired will be difficult as the woofer and amp need to be sent together in order to calibrate the servo properly if you can find someone to repair it as Velodyne no longer services these.

He was the best kitty. But little Mr. sawdust for brains was also the best kitty.

Fingers crossed. Trying a paste rub on the lamb - olive oil,lemon, mustard, rosemary,pepper, garlic and thyme. I've had it in restaurants. My wife likes the tried and true Montreal steak spice.

We had a cat show up on our back porch on day. A dog had chased and it managed to hide there. We couldn't find the owner, so we got it checked out at the vets. The cat was a mix, part tabby (a faint M on his forehead) and looked like a Siamese but plump.The vet said maybe Burmese, IIRC. Thought he was around five years old. He was a terrific pet, very sweet. It was pretty digital amerams, but I know I've scanned at least on of the prints. H lived a long time. That was the only sad thing about moving from the old house, as both our cats were buried there. Maybe not the only thing... we had over 3 acres.

After weeks, I finally dropped the needle;

Definitely lower than during the pandemic, but still seem high to me. I don’t complain when selling, just when buying!😁

That’s about the way it was going.

Definitely right!

@grasshopper that sound's about right.

Time for a Jazz change

Can someone please explain why the Heritage line of speakers has become so crazy for used speaker pricing. I understand asking price vs. actual sale price (it's not where you start but where you end up) but c'mon people asking a couple grand for Chorus II's or $2k for a pair of Quartets? What's up??? RG

Alright first off I am extremely new to this industry, sorry in advance for the silly questions. I am looking forward to buying a pair of RP600 II's and a RP1400SW. Now heres where I got confused. 1) These are the terminals on the bookshelf speakers, Usually I have seen 2 terminals (+), (-) for passive speakers. Here, there are 4 terminals. I can see 2 (+)'s and 2 (-)'s. I am guessing they are separate for the tweeter and the sub. So do I need a Y splitter to give power to the 2? Since I am intending to use this amp: Fosi Audio BL20C which has 2 outputs (left & right) and a sub out. If a Y splitter is not needed then which of these terminals do I connect to the "L" or "H"? 2) As mentioned above, I intend to use that amp but its rated for 160W for each channel and in the spec sheet the RP600's are rated for 100W constantly only, so I am afraid I might burnt the coils since the amp does not have a screen to tell me how many watts its outputting. Will they be fine at max volume or should I get a different amp? Also I am open to any amp suggestions as long as its about $500 and compact, since this is not for a home theatre but a desktop setup. I need to amp to sit on the desk without taking up too much space. But if other big amps are good I won't mind as long as I am not destroying the speakers in anyway. Also a LFE output from the amp would be nice since the RP1400SW support that. This is the amp output. Also the sub out is just a Y split to the L & R on the RP1400SW right? Thats about it, thanks for reading!

We have had two days of fantastic unseasonably warm temps here in the great white north. Currently -1C, usually -16 to -20 this time of year. When opportunity knocks I'm firing up the BBQ likely for the last time until spring. A small rack of lamb for myself and steak for my wife.

Great deal. 🙂

As this is no longer modifications forum and mostly restorations so I would say. Did you heard KHorns anywhere and you know they are off? For a start I would play some time and freeze some drastic mods. Of course would be good to check if you have original drivers inside. People (including me) got those speakers with mixed tweeters (round and square version) or could be case when diaphragm of one was replaced (after some failure) with some poor quality aftermarket one. 1. Room treatment is always welcome regardless of speakers 2. Try full solid state setup, skip tube preamp for some tests. 3. Leave midrange alone, this is really nice driver. If it has black/plastic cap so it's K55M. In this case test if this cap is not loose. There where cases when glue was bad on those and vocals sounded strange. 4. As AK-2 and AK-3 are not so different when it comes to tweeter, update squeaker and tweeter capacitors to mylar kind. Probably you could convert but then you will need new coil for midrange part. Not sure if we have DCR of it documented in here. Then play them more to learn how they sound. If this not enough for you then ask question on Klipsch Korner.

Thanks. If anyone wants to experience the most amazing tactile bass with virtually zero distortion there’s no commercial subwoofer that would even touch these for at least ten times the price. By the way, with very minimal EQ these subs are +- 3dB from 18Hz to 80Hz in my room. This was with a steep 17Hz high-pass filter I added through the miniDSP. Attached is the final frequency sweep with both subs running.

Yes that's quite the deal. OP....curious.....how far south are you?

I'm also running the VPI and use their cleaner, which I think works very well. The vac works well so it's outta that and onto the Linn. The vac is loud but aside from that you can knock 'em out in a hurry!

Deal of the day.

@Dave1291

Just woke up and waitin on coffee! lol

My girlfriends weener dog.

@KROCK 😂😂😂

Totally agree. That’s basically what I was trying to say.

Looks yummy.

She's looking pretty comfortable. I'm glad to see this thread revived, always nice looking at other peoples favourite creatures.

Yep, I had seen that. Number of years ago, a friend of mine passed. I bought all the electronics stuff not knowing what all was in there. Ended up finding a matched quad of Western Electric 300B tubes. Took them to DeWick for testing. Though I don't recall the numbers, two of them were just a hair apart (and had been in an amp that used two of them) the other two had slightly higher (or was it lower?) values....and they were within a hair BUT had not been used. So the 4 of them weren't 'identical' at this point but it was 2+2. Slapped them on Ebay with DeWicks analysis sheet and they ended up being sent to Hawaii for $1,500. That was a nice surprise.

Thanks guys, it has been a trying 5 years or so but like I said it's gotten way better. Of course than my knee decides to go to heck on me... Can't wait to get it done.

It's beautiful, Craig! GLWS! Sorry about the health issues as well. I had wondered why you hadn't been around.

Events like this are a wonderful place to meet people and make friends with others passionate about sound reproduction and especially to learn the fundamental reasons behind PWK’s and Roy’s design choices and directions. Have a “GREAT TIME” everyone…!!! miketn 🙂

I always say the best stands for Heresy are subwoofers.

Greetings~ I'm a novice who appreciates a quality sound system. I have slowly pieced my home theater a little at a time. I need help setting my speaker levels via my receiver. I have it all hooked up but I am not getting that wow factor. I think my levels are off. I did the auto set up with the microphone. I wasn't pleased with the sound it recommended. I am not sure what to set the levels to. I would like to achieve optimum levels that my system can produce. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Listed below is my system RECEIVER=ONKYO TX-SR807 FRONT TOWERS (PAIR)=WF-35 CENTER=WC-24 REAR SURROUND (PAIR)= VF-36 FRONT WIDE= B-2 SUB= SUB10 Respect~ FMI

I am a novice needing advice on tweaking my calibrations of my speakers to optimize my 5.1 system listed below is my equipment. Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Equipment- RECEIVER - ONKYO TX-NR807 TOWERS - KLIPSCH WF-35 CENTER - KLIPSCH WC-24 SURROUND - KLIPSCH B-2 SUB - KLIPSCH SUB10

I'm currently hooking up my home theater and need advise on the best speaker wire to optimize my system. Listed below is what I'm using- Receiver = OnkyoTX-SR 606 2 Towers = Klipsch WF-35 Center Channel = Klipsch WC-24 2 Surround Speakers = Klipsch B-2 Center Rear Surround = Klipsch VC-25 Sub = Klipsch Sub-10 I am using all Monster -QuickLock Gold Banana Connector. I have about a half of a spool of Monster XP NW Compact Precision Standard High Resolution Speaker Cable with Magnetic Flux Tube & LPE Dialectric. I am not sure what AWG it is. Is this sufficient or should I invest in a different speaker wire? Please advise! Respect~

Thanks for the advise; much appreciated! Respect~

First, thank you for responding so quickly. To give you a brief overview of how it is going to be set up are the two towers on opposite ends of my BDI entertainment system (ruffly 10' appart {5' from the receiver}, the center channel is 2' from receive, and the sub is in the corner approximately 6' from receiver. The problem area is the surround speakers, like you I am trying to sleathly conceal the wires in the wall/ ceiling. The total length for each cable from receiver to each surround speaker taking into consideration the added length from running throught the walls/ ceiling is 15'-20' of cable from receiver to each surround speaker. I was concerned the added length would require a heavier duty cable/ larger gauge. Are you happy with the cable you purchased from Home Depot. Do you notice any distortion, or sense a loss of quality in the sound? I have purchased my system a piece at a time and I don't want to go the cheaper route and get the wrong cable that will not allow my system to perform at its optimum level. I am actually considering purchasing an Onkyo TX_SR 608 and using my 606 in another room. Do you feel that is a smart purchase or will I even notice the difference? Again, thank you in advance for you all of your insight! Much Respect~

Will do, thanks for responding; I will let you know my feedback. Respect to all that responded~ Respect~ FMI?
