The other mid and tweeter had the same impedance as the first set. The transformer has three legs on it, all on the same side; facing the caps/coils. The impedance on all three legs was as follows: white wire lead to black wire lead .4 ohms white wire lead to capacitor lead .6 ohms black wire lead to capacitor lead .9 ohms I'm really not interested in resoldering this stuff, even though I have soldered hundreds of times. I'm gonna just send the cross-overs to Bob Crites, and let him sort it out. I've got a car that needs an oil change and other projects, this one can be out sourced. I'd rather freeze my *** off and do an oil change than play with this cross-over in my warm home. By the way, I'm an RF Systems Engineer, I just hate dealing with component level stuff. The systems I work with never get troubleshot to component level. Thanks for your help.

11.6 ohms on the mid, 8.2 ohms on the tweeter. Those seem like good values. Maybe it is the crossover.

Here are the parts removed from one of my speakers. I assume the magnet doesn't go bad, so it must be the coils. These don't seem like they would be very expensive. Should I contact Klipsch, or is there someone else who has them?

I took apart the speakers, the diaphragms needed to be unscrewed from the plastic horns. I know diaphragms can be had from Klipsch, I will probably buy new ones. I hope the new ones are as good quality as my original ones.

I'm using 2 Hafler DH-200 amps. I think they each put out 100 watts per channel @ 8 ohms.

There is a pair of 1987 Heresy II's on Ebay. The speakers are 8 ohms, mine are 4 ohms (1985). I thought later model speakers went to 4 ohms? Maybe mine aren't 1985, I can double check. My question is, what makes them 4 ohms or 8 ohms, the drivers, or the crossovers? I was thinking of buying these speakers, and just using the drivers, and or crossovers to repair my speakers.

I have 2 pairs of speakers, Canton CT1000's and Klipsch Heresy II's. I've been running both off two separate amps for awhile with my Counterpoint Preamp and Surround Sound Processor. I just bought a Counterpoint 5.1 Tube preamp. When I hooked it up, I got this really loud and nasty screatch and then I quickly powered down. When I restarted the system, I noticed the Heresy speakers sounded seriously degraded. Luckily the Tube preamp only had outputs for a single amp, so the amp going to my Canton's wasn't connected, and therefore my Canton's were saved. My question is, can these horn tweeters get damaged, or is it more likely the crossover that gets damaged. It sounds like the midrange horn and or the highrange horn aren't working correctly. What should I look into first? Can the crossovers be fixed and or the horns? Thanks Eric I can send pictures and more info about the exact speakers later. The speakers say Klipsch 1985 on the rear, and have the wicker front screen.
