back at University we had that question - are the super quality cables any better than your run of the mill average stock OEM wires - -Yes , but not by much - the tests were all done and surprisingly a bit deceiving to the ones who had spent so much money on cables - now again , there are the ones who can tell the difference between a 10$ cable and a 200$ cable - but we could not , no matter how many tests we made - the difference in sound improvement was however noticable by the quality of the connectors rather than the cables - a good cable using cheap connectors will sound just as bad as a cheap cable and a cheap connector - the other difference was that a hand built technician tested cable using industry standard audio connectors and cables achieved the best audio cable -

good luck

I would stick with Yamaha and most definitely the Sony Str-da Es series which are built like tanks - Pioneer Elites, on the other hand are not that reliable and quite expensive to repair -

must be the coffee -

the Van Houtte brand is the best tasting coffee you can buy and enjoy if you are sitting down to listen to music - Keurig purchased the company -which is based in Montreal - you can buy their products on ebay and online - http://www.vanhoutte.com/en-ca/consumer/contact-us%C2'> - they are simply a phenominal coffee -

- please We would appreciate a picture -

I dont understand how the K792 can fit in the Heresy 3 as the cabinet has the same measurements than a Heresy 2 that carries the smaller K76 Tweeter magnet structure - -I would think that there is not enough clearance in the Heresy H2 or H3 cabinet to clear the larger k79 magnet at the top of the cabinet - if the k79 and the k792 share the much bigger magnet - the logic would be that this larger magnet would not fit -

I Have a pair of Cornwalls 1 and Heresy 1 That were dead stock and flaming hot -with no issues with the sound - or I least that is what I thought - since these were 35 years old - I went to a local shop that sell industrial surplus and there I found some old school GE capacitors that looked very similar to the cans Klipsch used in their old crossovers - - I was floored by the improvement in the sound - the old caps had very high ESR readings so they were out of specs - -54$ for 8 caps - and 2 hours of labour - my advice is to take an ESR meter and check the ESR on the Forte caps - if the readings have high ESR - replace the caps - -Sonicaps are very good for Forte crossover - - Bob Crites carries them at a very fair price -

great memories - the man was a true musician - he had a voice that was so unique - in the Hippy years he was an icon - RIP --Joe Cocker

I saw some Scalas which were finished with Zebrawood veneer - absolutely awesome - the lascala speaker is a design that lends itself to one of the most beautiful speakers once you add - a riser - cut the cabinet for a split cab design -ala Scala 2 - - the addition of grilles and logos on the midrange and tweeter section give the speaker a defined two tone look that is eternal - a classic -

you can call klipsch and get the original parts from the factory as they also have a great warranty and technical support to boot -

ok - so let 's make this clearer - the K75 -K79 and K792 share the same magnet structure in size -but the K792 is different with a new horn and a titanium diaphragm - also my understanding is the K792 is used in the CW3 -H3-and the KP 301II - -thanks for the info -

fantastic deal - great

too bad this was not in my area - sad indeed -

for sure as they are like fine furniture , some finishes can be real beauties

this info is great - The crossovers from the KP250 - and KP 250 II would be the only crossovers that could work with the HIP cabinet and woofer -but the mids and tweeters would have to be changed as well - the woofer is the Eminence K42 that is an equivalent to the EVM12L - - so yes - the cheaper solution is to upgrade your caps -

I 2nd this. I put K28's in my HIIs. Keep in mind that there is an impedance difference, K24 is 8 ohms, K28 is 4ohms. So the crossovers should be altered to account for it as the crossover point will change, if not they could sound "boomy". I have seen people post that did this without making a crossover change and were satisfied with the sound. I am an obsessive tweaker and used the excuse to make new external crossovers. Stuffed em with polyfil also. Klipsch sells a kit to upgrade the HII to an HIII too. the H3 Kit From klipsch is a 300$ per speaker charge - with the crossover - the woofer - the mid driver comes with no horn as you re-use the K701 and finally a tweeter - the mids and highs use titanium diaphragms -it is a perfect fit for H2 that have a square rear crossover - round one just require a bit of cutting in the MDF -

these are not suitable for a CW or a CWll the crossover frequency of the CW3 network is too high, it has been designed for a K701 horn(as used in the Heresy)and not the larger and lower frequency K600/K601 horns used the the prior Cornwall designs. These networks are only suitable if someone wanted to build a Cornwall 3. I cannot imagine anyone building up a Cornwall from scratch and using a K701 mid horn as that is a definite downgrade from the K601. These days people are opting for larger and better horns than the K601 not smaller horns. Best regards Moray James. hi morey - why did klipsch switch to the k701 Versus a k601 in the CW3 - does the K701 have any advantages sound wise and has the use of the k701 improve the sound in the CW3 versus the CW2 - or is it the same overall - if I am not wrong the CW3 shares the mids and tweeters of the H3 -

what are you waiting for - plug them in -these must sound fantastic -

one hell of a small movie theatre for single 15 inch speakers - twin 15 inch cabinets would sound more appropriate -

one suggestion is the klipsch k28 - 4 ohms woofer from the H3 - it is a phenomenal woofer versus the k24 and definitely better at delivering bass -

thanks Sancho - while Heresy 1 and 2 use 8ohms woofers - cornwall 1-2-3 as well as lascala-belle-khorn and Heresy 3 carry 4ohms woofers - the difference is a more responsive woofer that delivers more bass - I c

did you know that klipsch has the k401 at a really cheap price - cheaper than used on ebay - my advise is to call them - you never know

hy Morey - I think PWK had the same idea when he designed the Jubilee -

EV had the Patrician iV using the EV 18WK in a corner Horn. http://electrovoice.com/downloadfile.php?f=Patrician%20IV%20DIY%20Manual.pdf The Patrician iV was essentially a licensed 18 inch KLIPSCH khorn , and pretty rare to boot - the 18 inch woofer added bass accuracy in larger rooms - in this case , larger is better while remaining efficient -
