@rayrcanalesI would suggest that you indicate the closest city to your Location , South Texas is kinda big

The midrange driver in the 1,5 was a cost cutting measure as the K-55V was more expensive to manufacture and only available in limited numbers as Alnico V prices were through the roof .... the Heresy 1 was an exception , it used the same midrange and tweeter as the Khorn , Belle , Lascala ,Cornwall

Discussions about speaker placement are only ........discussions , in the end , you're the only one who can really hear and tell , where ? is the ideal placement for the speakers in the room , someone can tell you.....do this or that.....or you can read endless reviews but unless the contributors are in the same room with you , nothing can be verified , trust your ears , dont hesitate to make changes till you find the optimal sound ,

There are plenty of Heresy 1 for sale on Ebay , CL, , USAAUDIOMART , FB Marketplace , https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=klipsch+heresy&_sop=1

@SeanHiFi questions ? 1)- swap the cable around from the speaker that has no issues with the speaker that has a problem . do not change the connections to the amplifier what are the results ? does the same issue remain with the same speaker ? 2)- what is the DCR ? of the.... woofer - midrange and tweeter for the failing speaker , you can compare the results with the 2 nd speaker , - if 1 of the DCR results is much lower , then the corresponding driver has an issue , -if the 6 DCR results are close to identical , the issue is a problem with wiring , a loose connector or a damaged connector , or the crossover .

you can replace the dust caps or use a vacuum , just tone down the suction and easy does it , they will pull out

the Cornwall is way better than a Forte , big sound , lifetime durability , on the positive side , the difference in price can be very little when deals do pop up

Aluminium alloy

Randy Bachman is still alive , it's His Brother Robbie that passed away🏥

It's not an Aluminium-Magnesium alloy , the corners of the klipsch metal trim are made from zink pot metal , they cannot be polished like extruded aluminium , and they wont anodize either , the only way to refresh these is by Electroless nickel-phosphorous plating and it 's very expensive .

Last deal on a mint used pair of Forte III was 1500$ in VA , a mint pair of used CW IV was 3500$ in GA ,as you can see , the Forte III was less than 1/2 the price .

Jubes are too wide

if you have a flat roof , and an outdoor-indoor large door wide enough for Jubes on the 2nd story with nothing in the way , find a Crane operator , 4 guys , piece of cake ,

oh ok

DOL is a Russian label , started in 2008

Did they send you a new driver , or just the diaphragm

ALL NEW STEEP-SLOPE CROSSOVER Klipsch Chief Engineer, Roy Delgado designed a new crossover to ensure highs and lows have ample breathing room and less frequency bleed

SCAM ......ALERT

klipsch recently released a Forte III to Forte IV kit at around 400$ per speaker , so say , you have a Forte III or you find a smoking deal on a Forte III , you can upgrade later on . plug and play in 1 hour with the proven Forte IV sound .

yes , that's the easiest solution , unplug it all before a storm
