It might be an Illusion of safety--but if a guy was coming through my door --- to do God knows what--to my Family
it will be an "Illusion" he didn't want to see---It is Not only my Right--It is my DUTY to Protect my Family.
I won't let anyone take that Right from me.

Hey--Chicago is a gun free zone--go live there--they have low gun crime rates.

Most mass shootings occur in "GUN FREE ZONES" and most Law Abiding Citizens obey that and don't carry in a GFZ.
So that kinda makes your argument invalid.
Are you anti-gun?

I have to agree with MLO--some people might think I'm Knutz--Like my wife...
-
If you don't want to own a gun that is your right.
I am a Law Abiding Citizen and if I want one or two or more that is up to me.
I don't tell you how to live your life--grant me the same from you.

While I have my cabinets open for work---should I go through with my
hot glue gun and put fresh hot glue on cabinet joints and braces?
Is there something wrong with us?

8 O'Clock Coffee--and a Black and Decker Grinder paired with a Bunn Drip machine works for me.
We don't drink more than 3 to 5 pots a day---Keeps me calmed down with a Halo Tribeca Vape or Banana Cream Pie taste good also.
For Speaker wire I bought some AUVIO from Radio Shack--12 gauge OFC--Very Nice and Flexible and Banana Plugs.
I don't drink so no cocktails for me.

I had seen your website before but I did not know that it was you that ran that business.
The work that you do is amazing and the crossovers are beautiful.

He's a Brain--It's great to have a straight-up guy to deal with that really knows his stuff.

I'm surprised that stock original Hersery's had no internal damping in the same way mine has very little.
Then again--I really like the way the speaker sounds that's why I would not add any more.
I guess the damping adds to the voicing of the speaker.

Yes, it's my cat--Holly.
She can catch anything.
Yesterday she brought home two chipmunks--alive.
I caught one and relesed it back into the yard.
The other was in the house all night till she found it
under the dryer which is by the backdoor.
We blocked off the area--locked Holly in the bathroom,
opened the backdoor and the chipmunk made her escape.
I'm getting tired of chasing wild animals through the house
In her list is
Birds
Chipmunks
Mice
Moles
Rabbits
Snakes--one copperhead and 3 garter
Whew !!!

The Heresy is an airtight Speaker--Acoustic Suspension?
And did I read right that it is 95% full of fiberglass?
Of course mine--like many here is a Bass Reflex design as you know.
When they damped this speaker behind the lower Mid/ Bass driver--they used
a few inches of material with air space behind it--I assume for Air Flow from the driver above it.
Then some material on the base of the speaker---the rest of the speaker is bare walls.
-
I have F 20 cabinets that are about 39 inches high and 15 deep and 8 inches wide.
My speakers do not have that much material--or that type.
-
I had to remove my drivers for having work done and got a good look
at the insides---I was surprised at what I saw.
The cabinets have good internal bracing.
The cabinets were damped in two areas
There was about a 6 inch area behind the lower Mid/Bass driver that has damping material.
There is damping material on the bottom of the cabinet---And that's all.
The rest of the cabinet is bare---I'm not planning on adding any material because
I'm not going to second guess the designers design.
I like the speakers sound--I was just surprised at the amount of material in the cabinet.
Are yours damped the same way?
-
Many of us have a remote control that we use often.
Many show wear on the buttons we use the most.
To keep your remote looking better with use--
Take your wife's Clear Nail Polish and coat the buttons.
Use a High Quality Polish for the clear coat--Like Revlon.

I have a Yamaha RX V571 that I've been using--Lot's of Bells and Whistles
and it a very nice unit- 7 channel and that stuff.
So a Month ago I swapped out my older Harman Kardon 1565
Only 5 Channel--- not so many Bells and Whistles as the Yamaha.
The Harman Kardon sounds soooo much better than the Yamaha,
at least in our set-up. Made the speakers sound more Dynamic
and lively.
With the Yamaha--all the sounds are there--but to me not as dynamic.
So I chose-Less Bells and Whistles and went for the sound.
My unit is older and not the new digital units they sell.
It actually has a transformer in it-go figure.
I got a new one on Amazon--so I have a Spare--for 275.
Good Luck

Thanks for the replies
Moray James- I'm looking to upgrade my crossovers because the Synergy looks like this
Anyone would want to Fix That----

I can sell the Synergies for more than I paid for them
That's not the issue....
I know the aluminum driver is the issue--that is why I'm considering
a Dayton Audio Compression Driver.
Klipsch isn't known for using the highest quality componets
in the crossovers to begin with even though they have
the most sensitive speakers on the market.
The driver I'm looking at is very nice
and then I have my 10 dollar crossover from Klipsch.
Unlike some..I'm a senior on a Fixed income
and then there is the WAF I have to deal with.
There are some things I can get away with....

I do like the sound--I just want a "bit more Sparkle" on the top end.
Cymbals and the like.
This speaker sounds Large and Dynamic.
I thought by using a better crossover- it would open up the high end a little more.
Since you're reading this--I need a honest opinion
Can I use Reference RF3 crossovers in a Synergy Speaker?
It is built better and the RF3 Crosses at 1975 instead of the 1600
the synergy uses.
I can't afford to buy new speakers but I can get these
crossovers for $90. Will they make a difference?
That would be 3 crossovers for 90 and how long do the caps
last on these?
-
While I really like my Synergy system--I'm gonna mod them to be better.
Anyone wanting to give advice is welcome and I'll tell you what
I want to do.
This speakers uses a 5 element crossover with
Radial Caps---Could not be Cheaper even though
they were designed for this speaker.
First I'm thinking of upgrading this with better componets.
Second ths speakers uses a aluminum dome tweeter
mated to a Tractrix Horn--I'm thinking of replacing this
with a Dayton Audio D250P-8 compression driver
with an L-pad installed since this driver has an
SPL of 104 Db with 1 watt of power.
The crossover in the Synergy is at the recommended
spot for this driver but the radial caps bother me.
I'm thinking the Horn would make the most
impact of this up grade but will it be OK with
the stock crossover?

Being a former Polk owner, you guys don't seem to be as rude and snobby as the asshats on the Polk forum. But time will tell, LOL.
I'm starting to think the polk forums weren't the problem..
So a guy comes on here and says the above statement to me and you have the nerve to say that...

Here is his full Text. Any Questions?
Oh, I'm sorry! and your opinion means.... NOTHING!
So because they choose to work a dirty, hard job, they should be paid more than someone who is responsible for your life and has to clean up your Feces ??
You are endowed with extreme intellect!
