I have not changed anything in the area. I'll take the amp out and look around...and try another outlet before that. Thanks!
The random popping sometimes happens with devices that have switching power supplies plugged into the same circuit. It's definitely worth a try to either unplug any devices you have on the same circuit to see if that helps, or plug the speakers into a different circuit.

When I was a teenager my best friend and I would visit Audio King, our local audio store. They had all kinds of Klipsch. I unfortunately don't remember the exact model, it was either a Belle or LaScala that they had set up in a sound room. Absolutely blew me away. I used to go there almost every week to chat with the sales guys and occasionally buy stuff. Never bought anything super high-end from them in terms of home audio because I was more into car audio at the time.
Eventually bought a KV1 center speaker as my first Klipsch purchase. In the 30 years since then I've had probably a couple dozen different pairs of Klipsch including RF-7, forte I and II, Quartet, KG4, Heresy I, II and III, RS-42, SS2, KG 3.5, RF-25, and on and on.
My current setup of 5 Heresys, two AW-650 for Atmos and two horn subs is by far the best I've ever had and the best I've heard anywhere.

If they're no longer warranty it wouldn't hurt to take the amplifier(s) out and look for anything obvious such as a loose wire, blown fuse, etc. Also try plugging them into a different outlet. Have you recently added anything new in the same circuit they're plugged into that would be turning on and off such as a refrigerator, dehumidifier, etc?

Not that I've ever heard. Depending on what you're buying, they have frequent sales so I'd suggest signing up for their marketing emails to be notified regarding them.

What receiver are you using?

This is the exactly the same speaker config that I just bought. Which AV receiver did you finally get and how is it performing?
If you click on their screen name you’ll see that they haven’t been on the forum since April 2021. -
You should post this in something like the General section of the forum. As you can see by this section’s description, it’s for discussing things like computer and Bluetooth speakers.

Why would you sell amazing speakers?
By the way, take note of the description of this forum section…

I’ve found that Sony ES series receivers match really well with Klipsch and are fantastic for 2 channel.

Price and location always helps sell stuff.

I appreciate the honest appraisal and expert historical breakdown! The 'water damage' on the one speaker looks like a drink spill of some sort, it adds character. What made the 1.5 different than either the 1s or 2s?
They used a combination of parts from the original Heresy and Heresy II. Some have a metal horn that the originals had, some had a plastic horn that the IIs had. The midrange driver and woofer are from the II but the tweeters are the same.-

Got it, that is interesting they only made the 1.5 during that brief window. They sound great, I have used them on and off for a couple of years. I wasn't sure what to ask for them. So you think they are both worth $500 total, as a pair?
Yes. They look to have some wear along the edges and corners, nothing too major from what I can see though. Somewhere along the line someone stained the raw birch veneer which isn’t a big deal as most owners did that at some point. If they were in pristine condition, original finish all working I’d say $750 tops. $500 for the pair is realistic. -

Thanks for that info! How can you tell they were made in 1985? Are there any other numbers/markings that I should look for, maybe something stamped into them? Just curious if there is a way to tell if these are sequential?
I hate to sell anything that is awesome, but I am overrun with speakers at the moment. What kind of value do these speakers have on the open market?
I appreciate it.
The 1.5 was only made in the transition from the original Heresy and Heresy II which took place in late 84 into 85. I can see the faint outline of 85 on the serial number line on the one tag. Your speakers probably don't have the serial number stamped into the back on the edge of the cabinets, other than that the serial number tags would be the only way to tell if they were sequential.
From the exterior condition I can see from the pics you provided, I would say they're worth $500 as long as all the drivers are working.

You have Heresy “1.5” models in birch raw, made in 1985. Don’t sell them if you don’t have to. They’re awesome speakers.
-
For starters I would upgrade to the 450/504 center and upgrade your sub.

Are these cabinets still available? I am interested. I realize it's late in the game.
MoparBob hasn’t been on the forum in over three years. -
Did the problem start happening as soon as you switched to the new Yamaha?
-
*cord.
Looks like it’s a standard grounded IEC power cord.
You’ll also need an RCA cable to connect to the receiver.

Got a package in the mail from @Iteachstem. A couple coasters and three small plaques.
Thanks again!

I DJed a couple dances over the past few years doing that. I have Amazon Music Unlimited and I downloaded each song I was going to play in the highest format that was available. I connected a 1/8” to stereo RCA cable to my receiver. Worked great and sounded fantastic.
I listened at home first and was really impressed. I have no idea what DAC my laptop has. It can’t be that high end since it’s only a $300 HP laptop.
You shouldn’t need a pre-amp if you were connecting it directly to a power amp.

My right sub auto light and power is working. My Left Sub auto light and power just went off. Help. Thanks,
What troubleshooting have you done? -
500SA if you plan on adding Atmos at some point, 502S if you aren’t.
Mount them on the side walls where I marked in red.

Thank you. 8600360. So, I guess 1986. Thank you.
Yep! -
All I know is Starkey takes in some massive profit every year. They have a huge bash where hundreds of people are invited and they always have at least a few high profile celebrities at it.

How do I maximize an underpowered receiver
in Home Theater
Posted
Don't crank up the bass controls that the receiver has. That'll be the fastest way to suck out all the power it has. If you are using a subwoofer, make sure all your speakers are set to small and let the subwoofer handle the bass.
