    Just purchased a pair of Klipsch Heresy II's. Got a really good deal on them, all the drivers are in perfect working condition,  I will probably do a recap on them anyway. The grills are perfect with no tears or picks. The cabinets has some minor scratches on them, but no gouges whatsoever,  I'm wanting to paint the cabinet with a fresh coat of black paint as this is their color. Is there any special paint I should use, and will painting the cabinets hurt the performance any at all. Any special things I should do, or consider. Thanks for any info.


    I always find it funny how many people post in this forum section despite the sticky near the top in all caps:

    Hey I'm not excited, but if the mods are going to delete post, maybe delete ones like Geezins as well so the remaining of the thread makes sense. How was I supposed to know there was a previous post, hence why I said,  that it looked as he pulled up a 9 year old thread.

     

    Maybe a "report post as spam" button/option needs to be added so it doesn't appear that people are randomly reporting threads as spam?


    Gotcha.

     

    There is a button/option if you tap the three dots on the upper right of a post.  Hit Report then one option to select is “This post is by a suspected spammer / spambot”

    Settle down.  There was a recent reply posted in this thread that was spam and then removed by the mods.

    OK, I got the Klipsch rp-8000f and powered them with Cambridge audio axr100.  I am not exactly happy with the sound (highs are to sharp and base is to distorted for my taste).  I do like my music somewhat loud.

    i have access to a NAD c328, would that give me loud enough sound with less distortion, more balanced.


    What are you using as a source?

    Thanks Wuzzzer. Would you replace it with a different sub that could keep up? Or would you advocate with the others so far that depending on personal preference a sub of some kind may or may not be useful since the Jubilee's can get down to 18hz?


    I would listen to them on their own first.  Klipsch is making at least three different horn loaded subwoofers soon, if you decide that you would like to add a subwoofer or two that would be the way to go.

    I just purchased a RP-1200sw on Monday and the power indicator light only worked for a hour, now it does not come on but the subwoofer does have power also the gain has to be turned to 7 for any significant bass to be heard. Has anyone had this issue before?


    How high does the gain go?  What are you using for a receiver?

    I disagree. They are, what, 40 years old now?  

     

    This means the caps could be going bad. If they start sounding dull, then the crossover cans should be changed out.

     

    IMO the 5.2's are the sweetest sounding of the Kg line.

     

    Where did you learn math?

    If it goes beyond my electrical abilities should I seek out a replacement plate amp or just move on and look for a new sub?  U referenced some pretty inexpensive sub 12s in your previous post. …and thx for the quick response. 


    Personally I’d look for a new sub.  Plate amps can be difficult to match to an existing sub.

    Thx Wuzzer. So…I’m not an electrical engineer but I am an engineer. If I pull the amp out, what damage should I b looking for? Burn spots?  Safe to assume I could replace the caps and it would fix my issue (unless I see the whole thing is melted down lol).

     

    Burnt caps/swollen caps/loose solder connections/etc.  Hopefully if there are any caps in question you'll be able to read the values printed on them to get replacements.

  10. Common problem with sub amps when they’re failing.  You’ll have to pull the amp and see if any capacitors look bad or other obvious things.  The amp probably overheated if it was plugged in and left on for that long.

    I’ve seen working Sub-12 models go for $50-75 on Facebook so even a replacement wouldn’t be that expensive.

    Thought I would update this forum incase anyone has the same issue as a last resort I decided to try my brothers tv and it immediately worked full 4k@60hz with dolby atmos the said tv is EARC and I have found that to be the issue as mine is only arc seems I'm due for a tv upgrade as mine is pushing 7 years at this point anyways nonetheless thank you for your assistance 


    Yes, ARC is definitely not allowing the same bandwidth as eARC.

    I have the 820f's . I hooked them up to a Marantz 65w/@ 8ohms. They sound terrible. No only that, but the volume is very low with knob to max. Called Klipsch, I was told I needed a 150wPC amp to power them for the full performance. Using my weak amp resulted in blowing the tweeter. I think Klipsch should make that fact known to customers before purchase. They've been sitting there, unused for two years because amps over 125W are expensive and most do not have a phono preamp.;

     

    Something in the setup or settings is very wrong if the speakers sound terrible and they sound very low with the volume turned all the way up.  Most Klipsch are over 90dB sensitive with 1 watt of input so 65 watts would be ear piercing loud.

    When I saw your name and the title.....I was thinking about a 5 channel Heresy sound system!😀


    I actually did that last year…had my 5 Heresys on the stage, set to All Chanel Stereo in my receiver.  Sounded great also!
