Run the Audyssey program and it will setup your speakers for you.
Plus you might want to put this in the "Home Theater" section to get more answers.

I need help inserting photos
When you reply to a post at the top click on the "Options" tab. Then click on the "Add/Update" button, from there search for the picture, doing it this way you will be able to post only one picture. After you found the picture make sure you scroll over and click the "Save" button, scroll all the way to the right in order to see it. After that just click the "Post" button and the picture should appear.

I have to press and hold the mic button down to have decent sound. Otherwise the sound is awful and alot of hum and hizz
Wow, sorry. I didn't know that you were having troubles with just listening to them. I'm sure if you call Customer Services they can help you out.
I have a pair of the Custom 3 that I use with my Blackberry and they are great. I haven't tried any of the other Klipsch headphones.
Hope you can get them worked out.

Another "think outside the box" idea.... Which one's sound better the next morning after 12 beers
I guess to really depends on how early the next morning... [

Welcome to the forum.
While I don't have XL 23 and never heard them before I will try to help you out.
Can it be a setting issue with the Marantz, did you rerun the M.R.A.C. setup? From the looks of the Marantz it looks like it would be a fine piece to the XL 23. Maybe run the M.R.A.C. setup and manually adjust it to your liking.
The best receiver is the one that sounds the best to you. Everyone doesn't have to same taste in music so that is a personal preference.
Some members have like Marantz, Yamaha, Denon but at the same time those that liked one brand there are others that didn't care it them also. It really is hit and miss when trying to fine that perfect receiver.

Hello and Welcome to the forum...
Sorry to hear about the troubles with your new headphones. As listed in the description for compatibility, yes the controls only work with Apple products.

I have never heard either of these speakers and I would not even try to attempt to tell you which is best for you. But if the HERESIES have never been updated, you are comparing apples to grapes.
No matter what it is still comparing apples to grapes, not the same design and overall function. They are two totally different speakers.

1. The Cornwall's rear corners closest to the room-center would be close to the 18 foot wall, and the rear corners furthest from the room-center would be about a foot from the 18 foot wall. Would this suggest to the forum whether the bottom of my Cornwalls should point toward or away from the room-center?
The object is to point to speakers to your listening location, usually a single seat called the sweet spot. In this location you would want to speakers at an angle that they would intersect just past your head.
2. I believe that Cornwall recommends Cornwalls to be as close to the corners of the room, to have the most bass-enhancement of the Heritage speakers. If I have my Cornwall speakers three feet above the floor, and toed-in about 20 degrees, should I be considering the need of a subwoofer to be added to the two-channel system?
That is why they're named Cornwall, as they can be placed into a CORNER or just on a flat WALL. Now you should hear more bottom end if placed into the corners but only you can decide if it is enough or YOU need a sub. People have different rooms and different likes so whatever you like run with it and enjoy.

You seem to prefer the KG ones
Just do what sounds best to you.
I have to agree, it sounds like you already made up your mind about which one you like best. Don't think about it any more and just move forward with your decision.

I remember a very good Klipsch dealer in Chicago that kept everything in stock, from the smallest of the Reference series to the top of the Heritage series
If the name of the place was Simply Stereo in Hoffman Estates, that place rocks. I walked out of a place closer to me and went there and was treated 1000 times better as soon as I walked in. They are the ones that I ordered my RF-83 setup from and if by chance I buy any new Heritage speakers it will be from them.

At the end of the day, they blow away my EV Interface C's which I've had for a long time and always enjoyed too.
Great to hear that you really enjoyed them...

Added a picture but can't find the save feature
On the pop out where you browse to find the picture, to see the "Save" button you will have to scroll or slide the bottom bar over to the right, in that same window.

And if it is permitted to order your Cornwalls to be built in the "vertical" geometry, is this so much of a standard practice, that Klipsch currently provides lots of vertical Cornwalls to its customers?
Klipsch no longer builds Vertical Cornwalls.
Attached is the history of each Heritage speakers and gives you the date codes to determine build date.

Since I don't have SACD in the car (besides it being a horribly noisy environment in the first place) I'll stick to my 30th annivesary issue on 200gm
Dang, that's one HEAVY CD.
Dave
...and much more difficult to play in the Car!

Not really, just suspend the tt from the roof of the car, easy and done.... [

The speakers are front or surface mounted
Then in fact they are 1987 Cornwalls II.
To add pictures to your post click on the "Options" tab at the top, then click on the "Add/Update". Click on the "Browse" and find the picture, using this method you can only post one picture per post, then make sure you scroll over and hit "Save". Don't try to preview the post as the picture will not show up, just post it and it should appear.

James, everywhere I looked had the same price. Thats why I thought I scored when I found one new for $69.99
Thanks, that's what I was thinking...
Congrats on the pickup...
James

Looking to pick one of these up, has anyone found a better price then the list MSRP of $79.99?
Thanks,
James

As far as the serial goes, is the 3rd character in a Zero (0) or letter (O)? That would help. If it is a letter, they might be '74's, I think?
I believe that Klipsch skipped the letter "O'" for that very reason. In the code sheet above it goes from "N = 1975" to "P = 1976".

With the ser. number 8709809 that would be 1987. First two numbers are the year and the second two are the build weeks.
Pictures would help confirm this but either way, sit back turn it up and enjoy.....

I say, since you have them try both of them. One might sound a lot better to you in your room.

laager,
nice looking setup.
just one question, what are your Cornwalls and center Heresy sitting on and did you make them are buy them? I just pulled up the carpet and will be putting the room back together and might need something like that....
James
-
I don't know if you have this but it will tell you all the innards it should have. It was put together by Groomslake a while ago and is a historical time line of the Heritage speakers.
If you don't know the seller ask to open them open and take a look to see if everything is original.
As far as price, that's a tough one. I picked up two pairs of vertical Cornwalls over 2 years ago and didn't pay over $600 for either of them, both are Decorator versions.

Richard,
Thanks for the write up and reminding me that I need to start looking again at cleaners. I just might pick this one up, nice a simple and cost effective. My LP collection has grown so I need to start taking care of them for continued listening enjoyment....

Recommend stands for RB-81's

Don't know what you mean by cheap but take a look at.
Racks and Stands
Stands and Mounts
Ever think about making something yourself? That might just be the best cost effective way of getting the perfect stands.
