    Well these are toast:( they arrived today and one woofer wasnt even attached to the box, multiple corners crunched, dented woofer. The other speaker has one screww keepingbthe woofer in the cab. All of the pegs are broken on the grills. Unreal......
  2. Reading this reminds me of my wife:) I suffered a serious head injury a couple years ago. Post Concussion Syndrome that is permanent. Severe light sensitivity, headaches most days, fatigue, etc. However, just a little memory loss and music (loud even) has a positive effect. More tactile the better. Very thankful sound is not a negative trigger. Just the opposite. If toilet p works for you, just keep it clean:)

    This made me realize i need to stick to the forums for speaker purchases. I cannot tell you how many pairs of speakers i have had ruined by horrible packing by ebay sellers and even Amazon's Warehouse Deals. I bought a pair of "mint" RF-15's on eBay. They were both stuffed in a box. One had one layer of bubble wrap while the other had none. Three of the four woofers broke at the magnet leaving the cone attached tonthe speaker and the magnet and half a frame banging around the inside of the cab. I was refunded immediately but now have these beat up rf-15's. They can be fixed, but....
  4. Its amazing such a simple design can sound so good. Two caps, two coils, a few drivers in a plywood box and you have an iconic speaker. Ive built speakers using cloned plans where the crossover parts were super complex (compared to these) and the parts $600 for the pair (Merlin monitors). Not even close. Heresy is one of my favorite speakers.
  5. i don't want to be lazy. I would love to have some exotic veneer but it's hard to mess up black

  7. I only tried veneer once and it didn't come out so well. Though this box is pretty basic
  8. Yeah not multi coats just a quick spray. Paint flaked off in spots

    Ok. Keep me posted. I pm'd address
  11. There was a definite difference in sound somewhere in the mids/highs between the two. I bought replacement caps to hopefully rectify that issue. The face of the mid and tweet horn could use a respray but everything looks great inside the cabinet. I played them for a couple months on a vintage stereo receiver. They actually sounded great. Took awhile before i realized the difference in sound
  12. Wonder if its worth upgrading the diaphragm? Is the Crites mid and tweets a noticeable upgrade? Want to bring these back to life
  13. I have a pair of Heresy speakers from 1978. Bought Solen caps for the crossover. Took drivers and crossover out. The cabs are beat up but solid. Thought of sanding, priming, and painting black. Possibly semi gloss-textured. Scratches are deep enough to go through in veneer in spots. Any "easy" ideas to refinish these? Also, is it worth lining the cabs with foam or acoustic stuffing?
