OK in addition to being thankful for all the support - i have a question. I forget how much i paid for these in 1976. i am thinking around 600 for the pair, got a BO turntable and Yamaha receiver and think i paid about 1200 which was a lot of money then (and is now) but the question i have is - ok, 200 for pair of woofers (which bob says probably will not last like the originals) 200 for each of the other "pairs" or somewhere there about, and 100 for the rebuild cross over - SO bottom line, another say 600 for an almost Klipsch speaker? this is where I am interested - when i got mine, they were some of the top of the lines. today, in disposable world we live - and the fact that I probably don't have another 40 years in me (haha) and getting deafer as i move along what would DO. me, i will buy the woofers and crossover and wait for the next part to fail but what would you do and teach me please, why. Highland Park Hi-Fi in Dallas was where i got my equipment. a real HIFI store it was a great and poplular place. most sold, were mac's, bo and yes, Klipsch.... thanks all for your feedback.

OK disconnected each speaker and wired to the other speakers crossover - its a bad woofer - no matter what i would do, would not come up or broadcast and so,,,,, yes i will be sending in my crossovers to get rebuilt cause that just sounds like i need it. now i have to find a speaker. will look to see if Bob Crites has them or does anyone have another suggestion. thought since he appeared to get good reviews on rebuild yeah i also rewired to make sure that woofer wire was not bad so disappointed..... THANKS all for all the support

man i really appreciate this information - i think. when i got them in 76, i laugh because i went to hi-fi shop in highland park in dallas. they were known for mac equipment and Klipsch speakers. the speakers where the focus they sold me. needless to say, i know how to plug them in and positive and negative wires need to be aligned that said, what is cap them. and of course when comments are made about drivers - do you mean the speaker or something on the board? hey, i know when i play my lps, great sound comes out the speakers - used to and one day it will. I have not been naughty with them and i will do the testing of screws asap and HOPE that is the issue cause i am not sure how to "test" them but i have a friend who can help there THANKS again i will let all know what is happening or going one. again, really appreciate it

I purchased my Heresy's in 1976 and now, alias, i think one of the cross over's has died. the mid works but the base and tweeter do not. i have not swapped out the cross over with the other speaker to see and verify. Nope, not smart enough to rebuild it and really at my age well i have to watch money. I have found some crossovers on ebay for about 250 for a set. but my question really is how do i know what is good and what is not. thoughts? ideas or how to help me out i love my speakers but only one working really hurts. i would not trade them for the world .... thanks a bunch for any assistance and help
