I have a pair of Heresy II with the rectangular input cup. I replace the capacitors on mine last March. There are four (4) caps on each crossover. The caps are soldered to a small printed circuit boardthat is attached to the cup with three (3) screws. The board also has the tips of the binding posts that stick through the boards and has a bare jumper wire soldered to them. I had some trouble getting those wires attached as the jumpers are short and heat transfer caused the othe end of the jumpers to com un-soldered. I came up with a soluution which I can detail if you wish. Different capacitor types will change the sonic signature of the speakers. I'll post some pictures later when I have time.

Love the string arragement on this. Such a classic song written by Jon Randall & Bill Anderson

After nearly a month in the islands, we woke up yesterday to about 4 inches of the white stuff. The roads were all pretty clear by afternoon. Cold over night so a refreeze... will wait until late morning to go out... let the sun do its magic.

Audio... New guitar Put parts in empty HIP cabinets Finish JWC's Snails Video... We're fine with what ee have Sell off some equipment... RTR decks Sansui SP2000 pair Sony and H/K receivers More to be found in my closets...

Finally home from the Philippines... rough trip. First flight just over 5 hours... 2 hour layover. Then 14.5 hours to Atlanta. That's a long, lo g time to be in the air. Very smooth flights, though, which was good. Then the shuttle back to home up to just south of Chattanooga. Sunny and then dark. Cold... woke up to snow, had coffee and snack. Back to sleep. Snow's over, maybe 2-4 inches on the ground. A lot different than waking up to 75-80 degrees and sunshine every day for almost a month and back to work on Monday

Sketchy to say the least...

Absolutely love my HIIs! Who's who in this pic? You know, left to right... I have some Dayton PA310-8 woofers for my Snails. They are on sale for cheap right now. I'll probably be trying a pair in some HIP cabs I have.

Welcome aboard! Having had a pair of nice 2a3 monobocks, I tried following up on the Sun SV 2A3 amps. Sun is a Japanese company and has high quality parts. One review was very good, while the other sounded pretty snobbish and didn't like them much at all. That being said, that amp uses the 2a3 tube, in a single ended configuration, meaning it has around 3.5 watts output per side. They can sound glorious, but have their limits. Definitely have them checked over by someome who knows how to work on them. https://www2.big.or.jp/~sunaudio/sv/sv2a3_e.html Prices for used ones run $500 and up. I think new they were over $2k. They still sell them but no prices on their website that I could find.

The soon to arrive AL6, moved from a 15 to a ported 12 in and new mid horn

I personally think each iteration has been an improvement/refinement. I own Heresy IIs. The Heresy IVs are a big jump, now with a rear firing port. Placement is always critical. I've not heard the HIVs, but trust what friends have said who bought them.

And the JBL L100 Classic is $4800 a pair. That's pretty rich.

So... while out grocery shoppiing at a store in this huge mall, I couldn't resist this shot. The left side of the aisle is tuna, the right side is all sardines...

I wouldn't sell them. It would still mean having wires, but you can get a smaller amp/receiver with wireless/bluetooth capabilities.

I know the weather is bad there, but we had a wonderful dinner at an outdoor resto tonight, with family and friends (some of my wife's former students, a couple married with grown kids of their own). Temp in the low 80s, but just enought breeze to be comfy. BBQ, fresh grilled fish, rice,veggies, soup. Cold beer and conversation. Be back home in a couple days, with colder weather for sure.

Random youtube video I found through FB. Nice quiet instrumentals.

If a regular setup has one side with the leads reversed, on the same note, one woofer will push out toward the listener while the other is pulling in. The volume drops quite a bit. That's also a reason to have them connected correctly when setting up and connecting amps to speakers. You don't want a nice drum hit to have the initial transient to be pulling the cone away. The difference is dramatic.

You could also put them face to face, reverse one channels speaker leads so the are out of phase... send lf freq.

I know of folks who would lay their speakers face down, on carpet, and play some bass heavy music. Might not be annoying, or when you are out running some errands. Just don't go to extremes. They will eventually blossom.

Do a search for Super Heresy... Some of the threads have be deleted or locked as it is not a Klipsch design (and this forum belongs to Klipsch). I'm sure you could find something on a FB section or on AK.

To add on to Heinze's post above, he is pointing out the difference between wood screws and machine screws threaded into T-nuts. My La Scalas and huge MWM cabinets used t-nuts. They act like a captive nut on the back of the speaker baffle. I'm pretty sure the Belles also use t-nuts. Four are enough four each woofer.

Another Dylan cover... I love it: I shall be released

Happy New Year, everyone ... all five of you! We've been sweating in the Philippines, and enjoying every bit of it. Beaches, boat rides, family and great food. Would be really nice if my family here could come along sometime.

For the new year... besides getting the Snails finished (I know, I know...), I'm going to get a new guitar and spend more time playing and less listening.

Horror of horrors... I set beers on my LS, the ones that were beaters. I never did on the nice ones I had.
