  1. Glad to see it work out for ya'll. It sure is hard to pass up a deal like this. Might want to check out sound-smith. I haven't had his mods done but have read it turns this cart into something really special. http://www.sound-smith.com/denon/index.html Brad Think that was a fun meeting last night Jay.
  2. Hey Mike, Let us know when you get. The reports I've read show everyone received them but the tracking and time frame was off with that company. One guy reported his was showing backordered and in the same day he received it. I would say this deal won't last forever, It's kinda weird how this company is selling them. Brad
  3. Look at this crazy deal, little late posting just found about on the vinyl asylum. Search there for feedback on company. http://www.cometsupply.com/mp/DENON/pm/DNNDL103R/ Brad
  4. Anyone have a pic of the Lascalla II crossovers? BR
  5. tooloud , how are you coming along with this?
  6. See pdf here http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/95932/972050.aspx#972050 Looking from the top, taps 1 and 2 are beside each other. Tap 1 goes to negative of squawker on terminal block. Tap 2 goes through capacitor then to negative of tweeter on terminal block. Resistor is mounted between the positive and negative terminal on the terminal block for squawker.
  7. Thought that was clear, yes I did. You do this on the autoformer, it will be more clear when you open it up and have a look. You can also search t2a and you should find a plan for the t2a that shows the taps and their numbers..
  8. I moved the squawker and tweeter and I think this was the most noticable differance. I don't think changing the inductor made much of a differance. I would recommend just changing the caps, adding the resistor and moving the squawker and tweeter taps and go from there. I would also make some risers if you don't have them. The best way I can describe the sound is the speakers are more balanced and blend together now.
  9. Just finished these upgrades to my type e crossover. I went with the recommendations above by relocating the tweeter and squawker taps on the autoformer and adding a 15ohm resister in parellel with the squawker. Thanks, just what I was looking for. tooloud, these pics should help you out.
  10. The riser's I built look just like the H III's but are 3/8" taller in the front and rear. The noticable differance is in the bottom end, almost an effect like a sub wouldn't be needed for the Heresy now which is a good thing. This make sense since just changing the wires shouldn't of had an effect unless it was a resistance thing with the wire being longer and bigger in gauge.
  11. I went ahead and moved the board with no ill effects, if anything it sounds better. I also installed some risers I had built at the same time and this may have had an effect too.
  12. Is there any particular reason why the boards are mounted to the side of the cabinet? This makes them dificult to remove and work on being the mid is partly in the way. I am thinking about relocating them to the bottom and secure them with some industrial velcro.
  13. "Then move the tweeter from tap 2 to tap 1, and the squawker from tap 3 to tap 2." Just noticed that this part of that quote is wrong, was probably a typo. I'm pretty sure you want to move the squawker from tap 2 to tap 1, and the tweeter from tap 3 to tap 2.
  14. This is the unmodded schematic. Just follow the mods in your post.
  15. Dean, I pulled this quote from you in this thread. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/97582/986735.aspx#986735 "I've tried all of the different network mods and networks for the Heresy. Keep it simple; the top is too hot in relationship to the bottom (a common complaint). So, put a 15 ohm resistor in parallel with squawker, you can screw it right to the + - spots on barrier strip for the squawker. Then move the tweeter from tap 2 to tap 1, and the squawker from tap 3 to tap 2. This lowers the midrange and treble by 3dB which brings the bass up and makes the speaker sound much more balanced. The 15 ohm resistor means you don't have to change the primary capacitor value. IOW's, it keeps the crossover points the same. I suggest you try it, you probably won't feel the need to do anything else." I think I will go this route with the best caps I can afford and 15ohm resistors. Looks to be the simplest and cheapest route to take. The only thing else I would like to change would be the inductor you recommended above. Can you comment if there would be any benefit between using a 2.2mH compared to the 2.5mH on the woofer?
  16. My guess is this would put me back with a 2uF cap, but should result in a little more output for the woofer because of the lower DCR on that inductor.
  17. Thanks Dean. What cap value would you go with for your recommended inductor for the woofer?
  18. I ordered some 11ohm resistors and will do just the tweeter and mid mod until I get around to ordering the inductor and cap for the woofer. Hoping this will be alright for now.
  19. Probably will go with this for the air core for the woofer but with a 2.2mH instead. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/29835/251615.aspx#251615 Will keep searching for more info on the .36 mH air-core inductor for the squawker.
  20. I'm pretty sure this modified schematic already has the squawker and tweeter dropped by 3dB each.
  21. Newb here that recently purchased a Heresy 1. I was expecting them to be lacking on the low end so a sub is in order to help this area out. What I wasn't expecting was how bright and foward the mids and tweeters are. I switched the 2uF caps with some that I had and this made a differance for the better but would like to tweak some more. This modified version looks to be the ticket to blend everthing better. What DCR should should I shoot for on the woofer? I am thinking a 12w resistor will be alright for the 11ohm. What is the advantage of using the .36 mH for the squawker and if I go with this what DCR should I look for? I am using a 5 to 6 watt SET which gives plenty output in there current state. Hoping these mods don't drop the effeiency too much since I can't afford to lose much with this amp. Thanks
