Today I found a pair of Cerwin Vega digital series d-2(20.00 for the pair).Haven't listened to them yet,they need the foam surround replaced on the woofers.Does anyone know a good cheap source of foam speaker surrounds?

Thank's everyone,KG4's.I looked on ebay closed auctions and a set sold recently for 125.00 or so,I wouldn't sell mine for that,somebody got a bargain!I noticed mine have bookmatched veneer(oak I think),dry but I bet will look real nice when oiled. A new question,for a dummy please(I don't understand the terms,sensitivity,ohms,range ect).I just know what sounds good!.In researching these Klipsch speakers(Heresy's-KG4's),I've read about the low watt tube amps(that require "high efficiency"which the Klipsch have @ 90 something @ 1 watt(the Klipsch heresys kept comig up in the discussion of ultimate low watt systems,due to efficiency),I've always liked "tube" receiver sound.Can someone explain this?Do the Klipsch prefer 100 watts or 10 watts through a low watt tube amp-pre amp?Would I get the same tube sound from a tube receiver,a Marantz or something?100 decibles per watt at high efficiency,so at a few watts your speakers are rocking,facinating...Can someone explain this to a tech challenged hillbilly how does this work,and what old receivers would sound good?

Well I guess "every dog has his day",a lot of luck,and a lot of footwork,I hit every thrift-yard sale-auction within 50 miles from home everyday.I'm too busy listening to research,what are these?,Heresy 4's? With 2 pairs of Klipsch and a pair of AMT-1s,I'm thinking of opening a mobile DJ service! The Lucky Duck !

Model KG4 W0,what have I got?,specs?Heresy or what...,man they ROCK.Horn and two midrange in the front,and a big bass in the back.Built to last in 1989.I haven't heard a finer speaker,and I've heard a few.Did I say "Klipsch Rocks?"Highly recommended.

Hamslap, They call me the snoop(anything of value),I keep my nose down.But I agree,2 sets of Klipsch...right place right time,just wish I got the bid Sansui Amp and Pre-amp,maybe next time. The old Herseys were all I could ask for,and now these.Even better,and big fat base,sound's like G. Jones is sitting on the couch,I cant turn it past two on the volume without wakeing the neighbours on an old pioneer receiver.Life is good!But I'm out of room,might be forced to sell one set.<8)[img src='http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/images/smilies/4.gif'>

Today was my lucky day ! Check out my new Klipsch,chapter two.You guys helped me identify a pair of HBR Herseys I bought a couple of months ago at a yard sale.Sweetest speakers I've listened to...until today. Chapter two,well I did it again.Found these today I fell in love with the old yard sale Herseys and wouldn't sell for any amount of money,and today I found these!I paid more for these ($60.00 for the pair).I just hooked em' up and these are even better sounding!...can it get much better than this?I'm hooked on Klipsch! Help me with details please,what are these,specs,woofer in the back. P.S.,I just missed a steal on a Sansui 5000 series tube pre-amp and Amp the other day,$20.00 short and came back 10 minutes later with the cash and they were gone.Man what a BUMMER,that 200 watt per channel would have rocked those Hereseys I bet..well you can't win em' all.Disturbing the neighborhood Thanks guys

The Man in Black,A Burning Crack? "The Burning Ring of Fire Hemmorrhoid Cream",...Can I buy stock in this company? Johnny was a class act all the way,one of my favorite performers,I was lucky enough to see him twice in concert.

Well,you guys know your Klipsch,Heresy raw it is.105 watts constant and 500 Watt peak.I'm Proud as a mother duck,and disturbing the peace.I recently found a similar bargain,a pair of AMT-1's,but one needs a tweeter diaphram and have not replaced it yet.I must say these little ugly "raw" speakers are in the same class as the AMT heils.How do they pack so much sound/power into a small speaker?Is it components or design or both?And I would like to know the date these were made.

I just found these today at a yard sale for a song.I would be too embarrased to tell you what I paid...well O.K.,$20.00 for the set(sold as-is and seller said they had no idea if they worked or not).They looked like well built homemade speakers at first glance,but I noticed they had two horns,so I looked closer and then saw the Klipsch label,very hard to keep a straight face after that!I'm glad to say they work perfect and sound AWESOME!I'm listening to them right now,I bet my neighbors are gettin' pretty pissed,these babies ROCK.Measure 21"x15"x13",with 10" woofer and two horns.Label says type: "HBR" and cabinet is stamed with 101U974,but thats all I know.What are these called?,age?,wattage?Ohm?,and any other info would be appreciated.Also they are missing the emblems off the grilles,would like to find some,wonder if Klipsch would sell me a pair of emblems for these?What makes these sound so much better than most other speakers?They dont look like much at all,but hook em' up and WOW!Right now they are hooked up to a vintage Pioneer 120 WPC receiver.
