OK. Looks like I am going with the HIII upgrade! I just emailed Klipsch the required pictures of the speakers. $290 per side.

How much did your premium restoration cost you? I am currently looking at having a Marantz 2285B restored.

Yep, my new to me Hersey II's are sitting on top of my KG4's they are replacing for now!!

Looking to upgrade my Heresy II's. First point is that I am not at all focusing on trying to extend the lower bass output. I have a 3 x 12", open baffle, servo controlled sub. I'm looking at 3 options or whatever someone else might recommend. Replacing the capacitors will be part of the upgrade. 1) Purchase and install the HII to HIII upgrade kit from Klipsch. 2) Install Bob Crites titanium tweeter and titanium midrange diaphragms in my existing horns 2) Install Bob Crites titanium midrange diaphragm in my existing mid horn and replace the existing tweeter and horn with LMAGL V2 DE10 Any thoughts, suggestions? Another question. Has anyone installed the Eminence Deltalite 2512 woofer and said to themselves, this new driver provides a MUCH better upper base/lower midrange sound compared to the stock K-24 woofer? Again, not worried about extending lower base. Just increasing clarity of the upper base/lower midrange.

My KG4's put out quite a bit more base than my Heresy II. But the midrange on the Heresy's is MUCH better than the KG4's. I was just listening to them side by side and there was background piano that that was being reproduced by the Heresy that the KG4 was basically were not reproducing at all.

My current system. Klipsch LS, ALK crossovers and Fastrac mid horns. Marantz preamp/amp and Marantz CD player. Purchase the Marantz new about 4 years ago. But, going to Schiit Freya + (SS/Tube preamp), Vidar amp and Bifrost 2 DAC. So what device do I use for streaming services? What do I use to pull CD's off of a hard drive to the DAC? Do I use a laptop as a "jukebox"? Not sure how I "see" what I am selecting from the streaming services device or what CD's are on the hard drive. Only looking for HiFi/HiRes solutions. After I accomplish the two above, I would be looking to rip my CD's (FLAC) to the hard drive.

I'm in the Metroplex as well... Flower Mound. I just tossed a set of AL-3 crossovers in the trash the other day! I guess I should have offered the for free on here. The ALK universals sound much better!!

I'm in Flower Mound as well!!

By the way, I have a JBL 18" in an 8cf cabinet for low end -3db at 22hz. I will always have something similar, so the bottom end is not of concern.

Glad you revived this thread. I'm not new to Klipsch, but very new to Klipsch upgrades. In fact, just beginning on my La Scalas. After reading all of this, I'm wondering if I should sell my almost stock LS and have some base bins built, outfit them with the Eminence 15C, maybe a K-402 with appropriate driver. I'm looking at this from a cost perspective. I paid $1,200for the stock LS. If I upgrade them which would be all new drivers, mid and top horn with new xover, I would only be utilizing the original cabinet! So, basically, 1,200 for a cabinet.

My Monster HDR 1800 surge protector power conditioner does not have voltage out. I plug something in the back.... no power. The unit itself powers up. Shows 123..124 volts on the front. This just happened out of the blue. Was and had been working fine. Any suggestions? Is there any reset or something similar? Thanks

Chris A, I see you are in Arlington. I'm in the DFW area myself!! You are obviously well versed in the sound engineering area!!

Wow! I had no idea the DSP had so much functionality. I saw a few basic crossover points in an owners manual. I thought that was it! Thank you for the information. Seems like I am pretty much set. I'll have to read up on the advanced DSP functions. Thanks again!

I have Marantz PM8005 2 channel pre amp/amp (2017 model) driving La Scalas. ALK crossovers and Fast Lane squaker horns. For a sub, I have a JBL 4645b (single 18) cabinet with a Crown DSi 1000 (950 watts bridged 8 ohms). Here are the specs on the JBL 18: FREQUENCY RESPONSE : Lower Frequency limits (no EQ): -10 dB: 18 Hz -3 dB: 35 Hz Lower Frequency limits (with EQ): -10 dB: 20 Hz -3 dB: 22 Hz Recommended Crossover Frequencies: High-Pass: 20 Hz. 24 dB/octave Low-Pass: 80 Hz to 120 Hz. 12 to 24 dB/octave Enclosure Tuning Frequency: 25 Hz Now I need guidance and advice on an active crossover. My budget is around $400. I am very new to active crossovers. Any advice will be appreciated. What model. How to even wire the unit. I assume I need a x over that will sum the stereo channels for mono sub?? I have quite a bit of money invested in my system (at least for me) and not looking for jerry rigged sub unit that just gets by. I'm looking for high fidelity and good, rich, deep, if the volume is up...... controlled, pounding base. I noticed most x overs in my $ range are for live performance systems. Seems the lowest high pass filter is around 35 hz. I'm guessing most bands don't care about anything lower than that and it is just wasting amp power. If I am listening to predominately "music", do I even need the 20hz subsonic high pass filter? Also have a Marantz UD7007 CD/Blue Ray player (the Blue Ray is for music videos). Paid $1,200 for the Pre amp/Amp and $1,200 for the CD player. Also have a Monster line conditioner/surge protector. Interconnects and speaker cables are Morrow Audio Thanks in advance for your help.

Does the cornwall and the la scala use exactly the same woofer. It seems impossible that the same woofer would work in a small sealed enclsure of the la scala an also the large vented enclosure of the cornwall. Thanks

Yes, I will be replacing both in a set of cornwalls.

Nope. Not me.

Does the Electrovoice 15B or 15L sound better as a replacement driver in a 3 way home speaker? Does anyone have experience with these two drivers? Is there anotherr EV model that makes a better choice? Thank You
