  6. ALK design for cornwalls. I am the original owner and these have been in a working pair of cornwalls for a few years. They look like they were built yesterday and are in "as new" condition. These were built by DeanG. All Auricaps, one Dayton cap and massive inductor on woofer. Litz inductors on squawker and tweeter.
  7. I recapped some AAs with the JEM caps and have had them in my lascalas for months now. They displaced a pair of Super X. Honestly, they sound great. I just received another kit from JEM for my cornwalls. I'm about to open them and remove the DeanG universals with Auricaps and Audio Cap Thetas that have been in there for the last 10 years. Going back to the start to see what happens. 🙂
  8. This hobby is definitely an art. No argument that you can build a nice sounding less expensive system in a good sounding room and be very happy. What concerns me sometimes is the gushing threads over a chip amp that costs less than a night out with my wife. Then, a few months later the truth comes out. If I had to choose some "budget" amplification I would immediately go to the DIY amp builder guys. I know what I could find among them.
  9. I have not tried Benchmark amps but I have had all of the DACS and still use the DAC3. On my UJ I am way overpowered with McIntosh 8207. But being multichannel it simplifies the setup tremendously and plays well with the Xilica processor. I have considered going back to individual amps but I run 3 way with subs and that was a juggling act. Too many boxes. I do still have a second amp for the subs. So the new Jubs offer the opportunity for even better simplicity as well as being able to be very picky as to what amps you use. I like! Not to offend anyone here but this has become a very much "budget" forum. REALLY good electronics DO make a difference.
  10. What is the spec of the DSP unit? Are they XLR or RCA connectors or both? What matches best.........a home audio amp or a pro audio amp? The compatibility will matter.
  11. When we were in Hope I could not believe how the stereo image came to center. At one point I was in the center of the couch in the front row and David Lee Roth was singing in the center of the room. Clearly. So I agree, with your spacing you may find that for music you may not need a center channel. For movies maybe different?
  12. The Belle tweeter is most definitely attenuated by the bad caps. Replace the caps and the tweeter will come back. You will never be happy trying to match top ends until you get the same top end as your Jubs. Nothing sounds like a 402 horn. Ask me how I know? 🙂
  13. I bet that Belle would sound better if it was recapped with the latest Klipsch cap upgrade kit. But I agree you need another top section like the Jubs to do it right.
  14. Roy released settings for K402 with 691 drivers and Xilica processor. Those were however for Jub bass cabinets. Roy also released settings for the MWMs being used with K402 and K69 drivers. Between those two releases I was able to put together an excellent setup for the 402/MWM in 2-way as you have it.
  15. Sorry to hear about your wife Dave. Hope she is doing better.
  16. Those look awesome. Congrats. From your description they sound fabulous and all you ever expected. Right out of the box. Just awesome. 🙂
  17. Somebody should buy those.
  18. Yeah, sounds about the same as what happened to me. I think you may find those woofers just can't get down there like a K22. They might even be worth more as is for their intended application. Fun to play with though.
  19. Dave, I wound up with a pair of those virtually identical inside. Mine are clear lacquer and per "The Historian" were from 1979 and an employee gift apparently given to employees as some sort of bonus or reward for something special. They look really nice still. The reason for my post was because they are stage monitors and not "heresys" per se. They only play down to about 90 Hz. After I recapped mine, they sounded like $hit and were pretty much useless when I compared them to other Heresy 1s that I own. They had no bass and could not really be used as a full range speaker. So...........I replaced the woofers with K22s and recapped them again...........but this time as E networks..........and created a pair of Heresy 1s very simply. Now they are at least listenable as a full range speaker. I use them outdoors on my patio with an old HH Scott LK-72. Just wondering how yours sound to you as they are now. How do you use them?
  20. Congrats Michael. Long time coming. Certainly worth the wait.
  21. You are funny. 😂 Buy the real ones and try again my friend. I have my own curves till I was blue in the face and Roy's from the chamber as we all do. Basically most of what you stated above is incorrect in my music room.
  22. I have measured mine plenty over the 10+ years I've owned them 🙂. I never said they were flat to 30 but easily achieve the 30s. You said they "can't create frequencies below 60"..........which of course is not right.
