I want to temporarily (Chrismas morning) hook a small mixer to my 60W Yamaha receiver and my two 1988 Heresey II's. The pro sound guys on acapella harmony.com say it will destroy my speakers. Something about CD/phono/radio signals being compressed and not hard on speakers vs mic inputs. Weren't the older speakers available in black for clubs? Was this just for loud music or were they ever used for PA? Thanks, Bill

Here's a try at a pic of the cars. BMW is a 01 325i Sport Premium w/ Xenon. Thanks for asking!

Can you perhaps refinish them to help them blend in with your decore rather than sell or trade them? ---------------- Her problem with them was simply their size (she'd really hate horns ), as well as them looking like "old-fashioned speakers from college days."

Hey guys, great replys. I didn't mean to come across as such a pus*y before about my wife. Really, she "lets" me keep my 2nd car (NSX, 1st car BMW), ski boat, etc, so no complaints. Actually, last night she didn't really say I should get rid of them, but rather implied that stereo was outdated, and that I am behind the times. There's no doubt she could not tell the difference in sound, nor does she care. But, it doesn't matter what she thinks about my stereo. Its more about interior decorating to her. The H II's and the stereo have already been relegated to the living room instead of the family (tv) room. The equipment had to be in a solid-front cabinet instead of the rack, and the speakers were too big and "old fasioned" for that room. So now, music is played in the living room and tv is watched in the other room. Therein lies the problem. Where does the CD player for music (now going to be a DVD player)go? For CD's it should be with the Yamaha and Klipsch's. For DVD, it should be under the Sony 35-inch. After hearing you guys, the Klipsch's stay! Can I wire the cheap DVD to both systems? Also, what are the H II's worth? I saw $150-200 on ebay. I paid $950 in '89. Are they available new? How much? Thanks, Bill

She says old stereos are behind the times. I guess I'll get a cheap surround sound for the TV. I'm 43 and wanted Klipsh's since I was 11. I got the II's in 1989, with Yamaha and Carver stuff. The CD finally quit and I want to get a cheap DVD to appease her. Do people in the mainstream still even use two speaker systems? What to do? Bill
