Prefer complete I am not confident in my soldering skills
-
No longer needed thanks - one of my friends was over and we were listening to music and I gave him a fair price on the Heresy and he wants to slowly rebuild and ordered Crites woofer replacements - everyone is happy and he has his first pair of Klipsch!
Thanks always for the great guidance and reach out!
-
Any chance anyone did the Crites crossovers and then upgraded beyond that to the ALK, etc... looking to update inexpensively if anyone has any kicking around!
-
I sold these to this guy many years ago and noticed he has one listed on FB marketplace - they are walnut oiled located in Portland Maine.. so for New England folks maybe opportunity to have as a center channel for other KG...
Not affiliated just passing along - he doesn't seem to have these listed on CL so if someone has interest glad to reach out on behalf and connect the two of you.
Thanks! James

Thanks again everyone for the tips - the glue has set and it’s working perfectly! Gave the walnut a refresh while it was disconnected and added the badge to match the Chorus2 in my setup.

See, I ahould have joined the forum earlier. This weekend I finally got my cambrodge audio axr100 and determined very quickly that something was wrong with the tweeters. Sure enough previous owner superglued 4 ohm pyle bookshelf tweeters to the horn. It was all squaker. More than usual lol. Amp only plays nice with 8 ohms. Already ordered some tweeters. Had i known about the h3 kit, I would have considered. The plan was to keep the price down as the cabinets are not exactly perfect.
Did not work out so well. Plus I have already changed the caps. Appreciate the advice though
Thanks I've heard good things about the H3 upgrade, at this point looking for inexpensive fix to get them going as-is.

Yup! Let us know!
GREAT NEWS! the dust cap on the offending woofer was hanging on by a thread - I took it out today cleaned it up and re-glued will wait 24 hours to test but looks promising. The other woofer dust cap was also starting in one spot to come off so I carefully took an exacto and took that one off and glued that one as well.

Hi. Just a quick thought—did you check if the dust cap was 100% sealed and seated? Sometimes all it takes is a little inconspicuous section to become unglued and hover just proud of the woofer, creating a rattle noise during excursion.
Great tip - I had that happen on my Forte's years ago and didn't remember that until you mention it. I will definitely take a look and see! Wouldnt that be great if that were it!

Hi all -
Noticed that one of the woofers on my beloved Academy has a rattle to it - looks like this is no longer made any chance anyone has a "Spare" they might be willing to sell??
Thanks! James

LOL yes a pool in Maine! House came with a nice inground pool - we use it heavily June-August and then its just too cold at night to maintain the temp.... it wouldn't be a good investment but where the house had one we do enjoy it!
Also I have not yet found one! I also see you are from Ooltewah! I have worked for Unum for 20 years and I've been to Chattanooga hundreds of times - lovely area!

Find one yet? I’ve been either looking for another one to make a pair or parting with the one I have. Probably time to do the later since I’ve had this one for a while.
You have a pool in MAINE, Isn’t that about the coldest place on the planet? lol

Thanks everyone - have not found one yet - the eBay ones I've seen are either local pickup only or "as is" where there is an issue.

Hello -
Recently acquired a project pair of H2, they are walnut oiled - they were original owner but I don't believe they were ever dusted or cleaned well. I am trying to inexpensively and slowly refurbish them for my teenage son and set them up in our basement.
One of the woofers had a small tear, I am trying to glue/patch, but would prefer to replace it if anyone had a "spare" in stock they were willing to part with for reasonable (knowing it would have to be shipped to Maine).I will also eventually replace the grill cloth and replace the caps as funds allow.
Thanks in advance!
James

Thank you for the suggestions - what I left out was budget is also a constraint so even the extra $100 for new xovers vs. rebuild makes a difference right now... may just need to live with the down time and send my OEM in to Crites for rebuild. THank you and Happy Holidays!

Zero handy/electrical skills - would like to find a low cost means to refresh the crossovers in my beloved Chorus II's - I was going to send them in to Crites for rebuild but with the hassle of shipping time etc... trying to see if anyone may have a pair of used Crites crossover boards or rebuilt crossovers collecting dust?
-
Rotel Receiver and Rotel CD Player now sold - ProJect and Heresy still available? Anyone want to come to Southern Maine in February and hear them LOL?
-
Rotel Receiver SOLD - Thanks. One inquiry on the Heresy's but no sale yet.
-
I would second the Uturn recommendation - for $179 great starter table and you can customize color etc... upgrade cartridges etc... customer service is SUPERB!

Greetings - recently went through divorce and due to situation need to settle bills and downsize. I am keeping a couple of setups including my Chorus 2's - but a few items I need to part with - would do a package deal and would meet within reasonable distance within New England for forum members.
1. Klipsch Heresy (1) HBR - these have a medium stain I am 2nd owner, there are a couple of smaller chips in veneer which I've taken close ups of. All original drivers and I replaced the crossovers with complete new units from Bob Crites - they sound excellent. Asking $450
2. Rotel RX-1050 Receiver - 2nd owner on this as well - this is 100x2 clean power very solid and hefty unit - all functions as expected the only thing I've never tested or tried is the FM functionality as I don't have the right adapter to connect an antenna and I also rarely listen to radio. I have the original remote and manual no packing for it. Would consider shipping if someone willing to pay packaging cost + shipping cost. Asking $175
3. Rotel RCD-970BX - 2nd owner - this in great functional and cosmetic condition, well regarded and solid unit. THis had an issue with the tray opening/closing and it was sent to Rotel to have the gear wheel replaced which is a common issue on these. Asking $125
4. Project Carbon Debut DC - this is approx 1 year old in near mint condition. I recently replaced the original cartridge with an Ortofon 2M Silver that I purchased from a forum member (which was pulled from a Project TT with just a few hours and he upgraded to a bronze). Added the "Q-up" which is installed currently - have all packing materials, manuals, etc... Asking $325 (Local Sale Possibly pending)
Any questions - just ask. I've taken a stab at asking prices based on what I saw with some searches - if I am way off show me and I'll be glad to discuss.
Thanks, James

Thanks again I’ll try that first before sourcing a new woofer!

I do see now that dust cap is almost completely falling off - any recommendations on glue something like a clear tacky glue likely? Thanks
