    WTB Chorus II

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    Hello and good luck with your search - if for some reason you find a different model and go that route, let me know if you'd like to sell the Crites x-overs for the Chorus 2 model. I have a pair in oiled walnut that I wouldn't part with that I've only done the tweeter upgrade one. Thanks! James 

    WTB: Crites XOvers & Tweeters for Forte1 or Chorus2

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    anyone have an inexpensive set that theyve upgraded from or moved on to other models?

    I have a pair of Forte 1 with stock xovers and upgraded tweeter diaphragms, recently acquired (through this forum) pair of superb Chorus 2 all stock would like to think about the remaining upgrades as budget allows. 

     

    Let me know what you may have - thanks! James 

    New to me Heresy 1 - yellow powder on tweeter?

    I am hoping for some help with the crossover on these they are clearly marked TYPE C and the prior owner had done a cap upgrade with a kit from Crites but did a lousy job with the wiring. Something just doesn’t sound right at louder volumes bass gets muddy and almost muffled. Both speakers. I am wondering if they did not wire the new caps in correctly? While I have redone a set of type E in the past I am far from an electrical engineer! Here is a pic of the mess thinking I should just snip snip and start with fresh solder and clean wire routing hoping for a picture of a redone type C I can copy?

     

    thanks JAMES

    I can confirm that both tweeters had that coating I was able to carefully brush off most - I would also agree with Mr Crites that is NOT an example of his shop's work having purchased their services before. 

     

    I did discover that whoever did the xovers not only had poor soldering skills, but the woofers were hooked up out of phase - that has been corrected! 

     

    Thanks again to everyone for the great advice. James

    Hello - 


    I acquired some 1973 Heresy 1 - Walnut Oil with risers and cane grills - cosmetically they are a 9/10. I opened them up and they have type "C" crossovers that appear to have been modified to type "E" with a Bob Crites kit. 

     

    They sound amazing - I am getting a vibration or resonance out of one cabinet at high volumes I think it may be the back cover so I'll seal and tighten - but when I opened this one up I noticed some yellow powder substance all over the back of the tweeter - anyone know what this is - the other one does not have this? 

     

    Other than the crossover modification - everything seems bone stock. THanks for any tips!

    Wanted: Copper Badge for Heresy

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    Hi folks - 

     

    Lucky yard sale run this weekend got a pair of Heresy 1 with slant risers - all original components, cabinets had a few nics and grilles need refurbish, I have started sanding them down (they were originally raw birch). They are missing (1) of the copper badges - copper with black klipsch writing - any chance anyone has a spare? they are the same ones on the KG4, Forte, etc.. 

     

    Thanks! James
