Very happy to have seen them twice in concert. They put on an awesome show. Aerosmith is definitely in my top five favorite bands of all time.

You've got the wrong pre amp tubes. I own this unit as well. The unit comes with RCA12AX7 tubes google it.
This probably would have been beneficial information over 15 years ago when the thread was started.-

This is an awesome setup! I've inherited 2 original Klipsch Heresy speakers and plan to purchase 2 more at my local Hi fi store. I'm looking to get the new Heresy version 4. What 5.1 receiver is good brand? Thanks for any info.
My Sony ES receiver has worked fantastic for both music and movies. -

How exactly are you bi-amping them? Have you tried running a single set of speaker wire to each speaker, installing the jumpers and seeing how that sounds?

They haven’t been on the forum since January 2021. -
Good question. Your Yamaha doesn’t have sub outs so it isn’t a question of bass management.
If I were you, I’d use a y splitter for each pre-out, running one cable to your Rotel and one to your sub for each pre-out.

Mine has an A. You built my speakers Heresy.
I'm torn... I think I may need to sell them (having my first kid and we need the space). Curious what people's thoughts are letting go after years of owning.
Heresys are small. Unless you live in a studio apartment you have room for them. -
The phono preamp on your receiver is for connecting a record player.
Do you have the gain turned all the way up on the Crown? What is the subwoofer output level set to on your receiver?
The Crown should be connected to the subwoofer preamp output of your Yamaha.

Did you try to forget the device on your phone then reconnect it?

Thanks for all the input! Think I will send the 502s back and exchange them for RP 500M IIs. I will put them on stands at each end of the couch. A little to the rear I assume is the best placement?
I will also play with the 8060FAs for front ceiling bounce Atmos. Hopefully it works and I can use the 2 500SAs on the back wall at ceiling height for rear Atmos.
Sounds like a great plan!-

Hello, I'm looking at a used set of vintage Heresy speakers but the SN's aren't coming back to legit #'s. Any assistance in deciphering these would be greatly appreciated. The have the faded out label with stamped number of:
G535754 and G535784. I can't find any info with a letter as the first character in a Klipsch SN.
The second 5 is probably an S in each. Disregard G and look up When an S serial number was made and that should be the year. -

I have some 1970's La Scala's. I plugged in ALK's Cornscala gentle slope crossovers. I'm running Emotiva XPA amp and XMC1 processor. I stream music either through a Cambridge AXN110 or Apple TV. I also use a CD. The high end seems to screech almost like it is over modulation. The mid and lower range are excellent. It was the same problem with my previous Emotiva and Denon amps and processors. The same with my previous crossovers, which I rewired with higher quality caps. I have tried ALK tweeters and Crites. Same problem.
The ALK crossovers allow me to step down the tweeters. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

I had that thought as well. Do the 8060FAs perform well enough to pursue that solution? Or should I just be going after a 5.1 or 7.1 solution? My ceilings are the standard 8ft with the listening area about 10ft from the front speakers and the same from the back wall.
Actual height or in-ceiling speakers are far superior than ceiling bounce speakers.-

If you’re going with Atmos, wide dispersion speakers for surrounds such as the 502s aren’t recommended. Bookshelf or floorstanding speakers are what you want for surrounds. I’d return the 502s and get another pair of 500sa or a bookshelf like the 500/600m.

I used a quarter wrapped in a thin cloth.

So you would argue that no surround at all is better than a directionally focused rear speaker that is designed to work as a ceiling speaker? (with the understand that it isn't ideal)?
What would your thoughts be on just a 5.1.4 setup then with the surrounds being on the walls on either side of the couch?
I would highly suggest a 5.1.4 setup. 5.2.4 would be even better. 🙂 -
Either go with proper rear surrounds as far as placement or just do without. It makes no sense to have surrounds and Atmos above you. There needs to be height separation between them.

I apologize, I use both FLAC files on a USB drive and Apple music. I can’t always find high quality media for a lot of things I would enjoy listening to so it bridges that gap. Its an easy access massive music library with more music than I could ever listen to. Is there anything wrong with adding an onboard audio card instead of using an external?
I have no experience with computer audio cards so I’m no help there. -

I don’t enjoy the idea of having to load songs onto an MP3 player as I already have to load FLAC files into a USB for use in my vehicle and that’s enough pain. Is adding a quality audio card to a PC an option for input into the receiver instead of having a middle man?
You said you were using Apple Music so I assumed you were streaming audio from that app. If you’re using a PC, a USB DAC connected between the PC and whatever amp or receiver you decide on is the way to go.-

All this Young Frankenstein talk made me search for the movie on my Amazon Firestick the other day with no luck finding it. Then I remembered I had it on DVD so watched the whole thing. Hadn’t watched it in years. Lots of laughs in that one!

Interest in buying a Cornwall II with Mods… Good or Bad?
in General Klipsch Info
Posted
Will they sound ok? Probably. Will they sound like a Cornwall II? Definitely not.
Personally it would be a hard pass.
