Thanks Ceptorman! Yep, the Haffler has very nice sound. I used it with a turntable and a high-end cartridge -- and those audiophile record albums they used to sell. Good times!

Sorry about the newbie mistakes. I'm in central TX. Appreciate the help and encouragement Youthman.

Here are some more pics. Sorry, new to posting here.

Hello All, I am new to forum. Well, I have actually lurked off and on for a few years. I originally joined to look into upgrading a pair of Heresy I speaker I have owned since I bought them in the early 1980s. I decided instead to go with a B & W soundbar for my limited living space. I've delayed departing with my speakers, but I'm now ready to sell them along with a classic Haffler 220 amp that I purchased at the same time. Both are in excellent working condition. The speakers were always kept on a high shelf and are almost mint. The audio system was rarely used in the past 20 years -- due to life :-). I'm asking $675 for the speakers and $250 for the amp.

Thanks much for replies. Looks like there are two ways to go. Anotone, can you describe what might be advantages (IYHO, of course) of going the route you did over the aforementioned crites kit. I'm interested in best sound, of course. Will likely do the baffling either way. Also, I know I'm stuck no matter, but which do you guys believe is the better crossover E2 or E. I think it means the mid-range is different too (right?). Just curious what I have. BTW, I have "Y" serial number and have found that means manufactured sometime in 1983. Ah, those were the days! I still remember when I picked these up. Couldn't believe the sound. Ready to start listening again and get these things back into action. Really glad to have found this forum. David

Antone, I'm new to this forum and have a pair of 1982 (I believe -- Y in the serial number) Heresy speakers -- original owner. They are in mint condition really as I've had them in my living room all these years and rarely listen to them. Not scratches whatever. I loved them when I had time to listen back in my 20s and before kids. I'm on the fence about selling them, but this forum has inspired my to maybe recondition them and see what I get. I'm relatively good at soldering and built my old amp from a kit back in the day. I'm interested in the upgrade you detailed -- and thanks for taking the time to do so. I think I might try just replacing all caps and using the poly. I'm wondering if I will be able to pull it off with just the instructions you have (replacing the right caps in the right places). Thoughts and/or guidance appreciated. David
