I am not the seller, but these are also on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=61378&item=5743526660&rd=1 They are in N. Florida, and no shipping is available.

Since I replaced my original Heresy x-over with an ALK design, I no longer need the old one's. I would rather find a new hiome for them here before posting on ebay. They are the original E-type.

If you are in the San Marcos, TX area these might just be the ticket for you. They are in black. I am not the seller, nor do I know them. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50597&item=5742988001&rd=1

I did not use Acoustistuff, but I do have about 6 oz. of wool in each of the cabs. I had it from another project and I figured it wouldent hurn anything. I believe that it helped the bass to be more articulate, but it could be a proud daddy seeing his son do well.

No, Al did not build them, but he did desing them. As such he deserves the praise for the great job that he did on them. I built them from his posted design on the ALK web site. So when I say thank you AL, it is for the work he has done, and the fact that he was willing to share it with all of us. As for the midrange, it is very much in balance with the highs. As we all know, the bass is not that extended on the Herey, so what I did as use a Marchand XM9 xover set at 80Hz. The Heresy's, as well as my hot rod ST-70 really like this, and I use SS on the sub, where it can do what it does best.

Colorful isn't it! I used what my son didn't for an art project he was doing. I had a new block of black, but I figured he could use that for a project that other people will see. The ALK's are the piece that I had been missing for a long time. It is a pleasure to sit back and listen, and NOT analyze.

sorry about the last picture. The camera broke at this point. Sure do like those extended warranties when I but them! Just so happens I did with the camera.

I have solved the harshness issue. It was a 3 pronged solution. First, I installed tube dampers on all the tubes in the pre and the amp. If you have not done this, DO IT. It makes a great deal of difference in my system. I bought the silicone o-rings from McMaster Carr. Second, I re-routed my cables. I was getting some 60 Hz from the power cords because of how the cables were routed. And last, I shielded the cables from my pre to my amp. This had a small inpact on the sound, but it was an improvment anyway.

Final view. This shows the ALK in all its glory. Al, you did a GREAT JOB on this xover. My friends that have heard it say this is the best sounding Klipsch they have ever heard.

This shows the damping very clearly.

This is a view of the interior as well as the back showing the 1x3 brace and the deflex pads.

I was asked to post the mods I did to my Heresy's. This is a view of the interior showing the ALK as well as the damping of the horns and woofer frame, as well as the Deflex pads on the walls.

You win the prize! I forgot that I moved a few things and did not have my DAC in the food chain. Now that my old Cal Audio is in place everything has come back into focus.

yes it did

After listening to my ALK'd Heresys for a few weeks now, I continue to be impressed with the greater detail that I now have. But I do have an issue that some of you might be able to help with. When listening to female vocals, in particular, there is a nasty breakup that occures at the higher range of their voices. This is particularly obvious when listening to someone like Jane Monheit, who has a great voice, but also a powerful one. It's almost as though the driver is being overdriven. I do not listen a LOUD levels, 90 DB is about it for me. If I turn up the volume it is more obvious, but nothing changes. Has anyone dealt with this after the ALK changeout? I am thinking about using the P-Trap to try a filter it, but there may be a better way of dealing with this. Thanks to all
