Hello Klipschie gurus, can anyone tell me the symptoms of a blown crossover? I have 2 sets of Heresey's one set I bought back in the 70's they sound superb, just like the day I bought them, I bought another set about a year ago off e-bay, they only have about 1/2 the loudness as my old ones, so I was wondering if that might be a sign of blown crossovers. Any advice? Thanks Rebelbygrace

Just joined up today, this is my first post, don't quite know what I'm doing just yet, but yes I too am a Klipsch-a-holic. Only have 2 sets for now, a couple of Heresy's I bought back in 1972 or was it '74? , and a pair of KG-3.2's I bought thinking they would suffice for a "poor-mans" Heresy, I wuz wrong, not even close. So for the past several months, I've been bidding on evey pair of Heresy's I thought I could afford, no luck yet, somehow they just seem to elude me, but I'll keep trying. As for the subject of this post, I've noticed that some people will part-out a perfectly good pair of Heresy's on the online auction sites. Isn't that a crime of some sort? Double Heresy? Shouldn't they be reported to the SFTPOCTSC (Society for the prevention of cruelty to Klipsh Speakers)? [] I'm so desperate that I've even considered buying each piece/part seperately to get a pair of Heresy's! I've got this man-cave (a large metal workshop building) that I house my crankable audio stuff in, and right now I'm having to use Bose's where I don't have Heresy's for now, I know one man's trash is another man's treasure. When I do get that other set of Heresey's the 6 Klipsch's will be hooked up to some old Technics Receivers/Amps., Hey I wuz born a poor white child in Alabama, give me a break, it won't be so bad, the Heresy's will of course be in the corners (my poor-mans K-horns)[], the KG-3.2's on the sides, and until I can do better the 2 Bose wiil be stuck somewhere. I really enjoyed reading the post about the Hertage Codes Reference Data, what a wonderful site! UPDATE: Well I guess it pays to join the Klipsch Community, I lucked up last night and won a auction for a pair of 1974 Heresy's after over 30 years I should soon have my second set of Heresy's!
