A meter will not indicate if the tweeter diaphram is damaged only if it is reading "open" non-functional (no resistance). If the coil was damaged but the tweeter is still working although noisy the meter certainly will not have a different ohm reading to indicate that. If anything you should be able to just replace the damaged diaphrams to bring them back up to specification.

I dont think changing capacitors in those relatively new speakers is going to prevent them from being shrill. The Outlaw amp is mid-fi at best and you did not say what you are running for a Source my bet is your issue is upstream and pushing a small speaker to hard.

To my recollection the Jensen P15LL (K-33J) did not have doping on the surround.

Not leaking just oxidation on the connections. Brush it off with an old toothbrush.

I would not recommend going with vintage heritage speakers for the home theater. Newer heritage would be great, but vintage stuff (60s-80s) would probably not sound good in home theater. When I first got my belles, I thought something was wrong with them when I hooked them into my home theater. When I hooked them up in a real stereo setup, they sounded amazing. This happened with my Klipschorns as well. Wanted to try it for the heck of it and they had no life, until a stereo setup.
You've got to be kidding or your room just sucked acoustically. My Heritage system would eat a Legend based system alive. When yours starts distorting mine would keep going without a hint of it.

Wow!! Tell me more about this 9.2 Heritage system! What speakers, power , ETC?
Look at my signature all the speakers and components used are listed.

Actually those would be Heresy II's if you really want to be precise.
-
Those are newer than 1963 they would have had a vertical orientation, the tweeter would have been the chrome throat screw terminal 16ohm K-77 and they would have most likely had the Jensen P15LL K-33 woofers in them. The crossover network would have also had hand wound bobbinized coils those are most likely from the early 70's era. A close up of the label or the S/N stamped at the upper edge of the rear will tell.

You will certainly not regret it. It is indeed an step up if you think that it isn't you are only fooling yourself. I run a 9.2 all Heritage HT and the level of dynamics and detail are astounding it can run at insane levels without a hint of distortion and on the flip side at low levels with similar detail. The same goes for music as well.

An industrial Heresy is even better since it runs about 102db/1W efficient making it ideal since the efficiency is very close to that of the Belle's. I use two pair in my HT system, one pair as front effects and the other as side surrounds. A standard Heresy is a much better match to the Belle than the Academy.

That appears to be a modified D-Style (budget) Klipschorn that someone added the EV-T-350 too.

Source the parts and rebuild them. Well worth it. The diaphrams in the K-77's and K-55V are replaceable and not really expensive at all. The cabinets look sound. Place a WTP ad for the input plates or see if Trey Cannon might happen to be able to get his hands on some for you. I had to build my second pair of Heresy HIP's piece by piece but it was well worth it. Yeah they roll off higher but they are almost as efficient as a La Scala and the midrange and highs are astounding. I use one pair as my rear effects speakers and you can hear every minute detail in the movie sountracks.
-
I was not a fan of the CT-125's in my La Scala's I went back to the K-77M's and have left them that way ever since. I would pick up a set with and put in new diaphrams to make them new again and call it done.
-
First and obvious choice would be another Forte II, then a Quartet, then an Academy for the closest timbre match. A KG 2.2V, 2.5V, or KV-3 would come close but far from ideal. Definately do not use anything from the Reference line as they will be way off.
-
Where do these nut cases come up with their pricing. They think they can price them like new ones.
-
I have been looking for a realistically priced set. Wish I wasn't 2000 miles away I would take them right away. Everyone around here thinks the eBay prices are benchmark which is just nuts.

This would do the job and only $850 from a forum member.

Those are raw wood professional La Scala's with split cabinets and the triangular shaped HF/MF section. Must have been a custom order but they are awesome. I have had both and would take the La Scala each time. Had 1980 Oak Lacquer Belle's with cane grills and 1981 Walnut Oil Belles.

I would take the 99's with the AL-3's.

Don't put BLO on a lacquer finish it will ruin it. You only need to dust that finish with pledge since it is Oak Lacquer nothing more.

Photos from all angles would be most beneficial to the folks especially at your asking price.

Model H or K-700 is a Heresy. Value is highly dependent on overall condition, original drivers and network and location. Pictures and location would be more helpful in providing you a range. Heresy typically goes in the range of $300 to $600 but there are alot of variables that come into play. Welcome to the forum.
WTB CD Player

The Denon 2900 is a fantastic choice I owned one myself as well as the bigger 5900. That said my all time favorite CD Player for redbook and burned CD's has got to be the DBX DX5 since it has the ability to compress and expand using DAIR (Dynamic Audio Impact Recovery) and trim L +/- and R +/- using the Ambience. These tools are very useful for poorly recorded CD's as well as the newer way oversaturated ones they make these days. They can be had reasonably and have lots of nice usable features. I also use a Nakamichi OMS-7AII which is smooth as silk but lacks the abilities of the DX5.
