I would say T for 1979. Doesn't look like a normal serno for the speakers. Maybe people familiar with the Belles will give a further explanation.

Welcome to the Forums!
The date is included in the serial number. Should be a letter.

Hey Guys,
Did anyone happen to have a Schematic or Service Manual for this sub? I have this sub with the blowing fuses issues and I'm electronically savvy. I'm just looking for a schematic so I could at least trouble shoot whats going wrong with these amps to hopefully have a resolution for everyone. Just checking a couple of stuff, I found a shorted power transistor and diode. Just need a schematic to follow these in the circuit so I don't prematurely replace things when something farther down the circuit is the culprit.
It is possible however, to check each resistor, transistor, diode, and cap but that's tedious to say the least. So if anyone has or knows anyone with the service manual/schematic that would be great. If possible, PM me.
Thanks.
-JasperWelcome to the Forums, Jasper,
The main culprit of these amps is the heat build up. Not sure if there is a schematic floating around here. Obviously, it's something shorting directly to ground. The resolution I know of is a guy on the bay who fixes the amps and another guy who sells fans to moderate temp.
When I worked at GE, we used an Infrared camera to see which part got hot when our usual procedures didn't work.
I'm sure more people will chime in with some ideas.

The "USA" is the country where they were built.

I contacted the seller . . . Already sold. She uses the confusing ad headline frequently . . . Has sold numerous pairs of Heresys . . . . Just bait for her ad, because she said she knew exactly what she had having sold numerous pairs of Heresys. Just another flipper trick.
I was going to buy this pair. But, I already have 3 pair of Heresy III Cornwall's. Still don't know what to do with my KG 3 Jubilee's.

Darn, I was looking to buy the bridge to nowhere.
I want a stereo pair. Mono sound went out years ago.
Here's your bridge to nowhere:

Very nice pair with my favorite finish!

I would think the Forte II would go a little lower with the 15" passive. The other major difference is the midrange horns. The II's have the Tractrix. I would guess 600-800 for a minty pair.

It is a fun movie. Besides, where they film it in Madrid (that's MAD-drid), NM, I used to ride my Harley there in the summertime.
Mongo171: That's pretty cool about Madrid.I didn't realize they actually filmed it on location. I checked out Google StreetView and sure enough, I think I found the actual diner where the "big biker rumble" scene took place! -GlennYep, Glenn, that's the diner in the movie. Never eaten there. I always go to the bar, called the Mine Shaft. http://www.themineshafttavern.com/

For me, just looking at glowing tube filaments is enough!
The lights from the tubes are mesmerizing. Look away or they will hypnotize you into buying them. [:S]

From what I was told by Klipsch many years ago, the shielded speakers have an extra magnet glued to the speaker magnet to eliminate the the magnetic field of the speaker.

Yes, you want the sub plugged into the LFE/LEFT. This is your sub channel.
Your sub is running too hot for room correction software. Turn it down until it can be calibrated by the software.
Up until yesterday, I always had it plugged into the other port... oh well. I got the calibration to work, but it didn't sound good at all. it turned the volume level down on all the speakers (between -6db and -7db) as well as changing the floor speakers to 40hz and the center to 70hz. When I tried listening to music through it, it didn't sound good... cracked a bit.
Changed it back to 80/80 and all is well.Certainly nothing wrong with experimenting with different settings. The trick is to get your system sounding good to you.

For tonal purposes, the KG 2.2 or KG 2.5 will match your KG 3.5's.
Usually (not always), you would want to keep the front 3 speakers of the same series. There are always exceptions to the rules.

You can always get one of those T-Chip amps to power the speakers.

The F-20's and C-20 will have the 2 pair of binding posts connected with a jumper.
Set your AVR to crossover at 80Hz.
Set the subwoofer crossover to Off or to the max setting. Set the phase to 0 if on the same wall as the F-20's.
These are just preliminary settings. You can play with them until your system sounds good to you.

Polyfill make the box seem bigger to the speaker. Too much polyfill and the bass gets muddy. Have to experiment to get it right.

They have no grills because they are Decorator models. I would definitely get them.
Need to prewire the house, any ideas?

Buy a bigger amp.
