Well, I have been a member of this forum for about 2 years and only posted twice. I have find the information here to be very useful and interesting, (being a Klipsch fanatic and all). And being hard headed, I couldn't believe jerohm just because he said I was going to have to. Having said that, I think I will restrict myself to reading only. jerohm is correct. The pair of tweeters that I had on a shelf and thought were K-75's are in fact K-76's also (the ink was very faded). So I pulled a K-76 out of a working Tangent 500 and have attached a photo to further show how I initially passed on some incorrect info. Sorry....

see below

I have a pair of the Tangent 400 and 500 speakers (purchased off Craigslist), and two sets of Heresy II components (purchase off ebay). Both the 400's and 500's have a crossover circuit board installed on the termianl cup that are marked "Hersey II" on the boards. They have the same capacitor values as the actual Hersey II's. The inductors are not marked but I believe that they are also the same as the Heresy II. (which makes sense because they all used the K-76-K tweeter, K-53-K midrange driver on a K-701 horn, and the K-24-K woofer) The only real difference between the three models appears to be in the design of and the craftmanship used in making the box. The Tangent 400 is ported, the Tangent 500 incorporates a passive radiator, and the Heresy II is a sealed system. I believe that several other forum members have mentioned this also in previous posts comparing the Tangent 400's and 500's to the Hersey II's. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/66222.aspx#66222 That is what motivated me to get the Tangents myself.
