The Heresys will work, but Cornwalls will work better. If you end up with Heresys, I'd add a couple of subs.

Great price for a great horn.

I miss Dave, he was a good dude with good stuff. I wish I had the extra cash as there is a pair of his horns up for sale. Those and the EV HP640 with the Faitals are hard to beat. I still have Dave's Fastlane Drifts as surround speakers.

I was just getting ready to ask in your other thread If you were the first to have Heritage Jubilees overseas amd the only one. Still a nice purchase.

RIP, definitely an icon around here.

I stumbled upon this thread searching for some of his posts. He last visited the forum in 2022. Unfortunately @garymd has brought some sad news. It's sounds like his health was in the decline for sometime and passed away yesterday.

What sounds intriguing is the 4-10" mids and 4-horns with 2" drivers. Could this be a set up with the KPT-305 and K402? The Kpt 305 would be 8" mids, not 10".

$100, you pay freight. But seriously, 8-15" bass bins? That's a hell of system.

Nice looking pair at a good price.

@WMcDMy first McIntosh, MC-2505 and C-32
That was a good deal, I was eyeballing them myself. I'm always glad to see a good forum member help out another good forum member.

If I understand your question, your asking if adding a dedicated 2 channel amp to your HT system will improve the 2 channel experience? If that is what you are asking, I believe it could. I'd suggest something better that the OSD for the front 2, even the center, something along the lines of a 3 channel power amp near doubling the power capabilities of your speakers. I know Klipsch is efficient, but if your speakers have dips down to 4 or even 2 ohms with the low frequency, your AVR will struggle.
Not all watts are created equal.

There are those who seem to think wire and cables have to cost insane amounts of money to be of good quality.
I'm not one of those folks. IMO some of the Monoprice speaker wire from the link below will be fine for your situation. 14Ga should work but 12ga will add a margin of safety.
Sorry, I don't know if Monoprice is commonly available in Europe or if there is an equivalent there.
That's what I primarily use. No sign of corrosion after 13 years.

Those are HOR. HBR on HI would have plywood edges on the front. Pretty rare to see oak. Usually see raw birch or walnut.
Good catch.

I'm in Des Moines, Iowa. No dealer here, but there is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Omaha, Kansas City and Minneapolis. So yeah, I'll try to make it to one of the places.
I'm in Omaha, hit me up if you want as i have Cornwall IVs, you can even bring your amp and we can move the speakers around the house to get different listening experiences. I'm surprised there is no dealer in Des Moines.

About 15 years when they were released.
Just don’t know if it’s reasonable to expect a loudspeaker company to keep spare parts indefinitely for discontinued product.
It’s very possible that the manufacturer of that tweeter either still makes or the model that replaced it.
Most manufacturers don't these days.

I think .....read THINK Trey was part of the layoff a little while back.
Holy crap, I missed that, didn't even realize they had lay offs?

Roy, @Chief bonehead is this guy @HenningO SOL? No current Klipsch driver or replacement diaphragm will work in his Palladium tweeters? Maybe he will have to replace both L and R even though only one is blown to keep them matched?
maybe @Trey Cannon isn't as busy or may be able to help.

A bit steep in my opinion. But nice looking speakers.

Thanks. It wouldn't surprise me. There seem to be only a few good members still clinging here.
I agree, I do enjoy some of the old school people that pop up every now and then. I really miss the days when we had a bunch of builders around. I really enjoyed Greg's refurbished gear and Gothover's builds.

I've got to say, at first I was concerned how those big speakers were going to fit in that room. You sir have done a wonderful job executing the task. I can't mount ceiling speakers in that manner as my ceiling is to low, but it does give some inspiration as to other possibilities other than in ceiling speakers.
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed seeing this room come together.

Look up a guy named Tim Kresko, he is in a couple other forums and Facebook groups (he may have been a member here once). He used to be big in dealing with salvaged loud speakers recovered from old theaters and stadiums. He hasn't been running a store front or advertising lately, but I swear I had seen a post lately that he had a handful of these. I wish I would have saved his post, but unfortunately I didn't. If you look him up and reach out him, he might be able to give you some insight on some, he is based out of St. Louis.
