No unfortunately I did not listen to them, you should go to a store to make your own opinion 😉

Hi,
You can try RP-500C which has a good output close to your Heresy IV with 96db/w/m, https://f072605def1c9a5ef179-a0bc3fbf1884fc0965506ae2b946e1cd.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/product-specsheets/RP-500C_Spec-Sheet_v01.pdf
and also a tractrix horn like your Heresy IV. It measures Dimensions (W x H x D): 470 x 173 x 223 mm this should fit in your doghouse. And in addition it is beautiful with several colors of finish to satisfy your choice and it is marked Klipsch nicely

Please note this is the date of the K33E in the photo, but not necessarily that of Cornwall. I have 2015 Cornawall IIIs with 2014 and 2015 Speakers inside
For new capacitors choice MKP 😉
Solen, Audyn Cap and Jantzen are very good

Hi,
I think your K33E are from the 21st week of 1978, the manufacturer code N ° 67 is that of Eminence

Hi,
Yes the Cornwall are similar in size on the side of the facade, especially if we include the 2 "risers as on the Cornwall III. On the other hand in depth there is a big difference: 15.5" for Cornwall against 25.25 "for La Scala
Cornwall III: H 35.75 "+ ~ 2" (riser) = ~ 38 "/ W 25.3" / D 15.5 "
La Scala II: H 38.5 "(or 40.5" with a riser) / W 24.25 "/ D 25" 25 -
Hello !
I have Cornwall IIIs and I listen to music of all kinds and also electronic. For example the XX piece with a lot of bass "Fantasy" is played by Cornwall with great success.
FYI the world's most famous legendary nightclub "the Loft" by David Mancuso started out in 1970 with a pair from KlipschHorn and a pair from Cornwall: you can't go wrong man! if you have fallen for the sound of the Heresy IV continue with the HERITAGE, the Cornwall IV are the most extraordinary of all Cornwall

https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/david-mancuso-collection
Around 1970, the time when he launched his “rent parties” on a weekly basis, he wanted to cover his 19.5 x 37-foot space with sound, so he bought two Klipsch Cornwalls from yet another sound designer, Alex Rosner, to fill in the sonic gaps and the result he remembers “was very intense. People would visit my loft space and everybody would like the way it would sound. It was extraordinary.”

I'm not going to talk here about the combination of an amplifier with my CWIII, but what comes before: the CD player, it's also important to know if it goes well with our superb Klipsch.
So I just bought myself a small CD player, I have a collection of about 500 CDs (all styles: Rock, Jazz and Classical Music) and at the moment I am buying some "classics" of Rock music from the years 90/2000 second-hand CDs: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, ... as these albums were released in CDs and not vinyl at the time, I don't mind taking them in this format and then speculation on vinyl is important: a CD that I buy 2, 3 or 4 € costs between 15 and 30 € in vinyl on average.
So for the player I also had other criteria: I mainly need a drive, because I have an SMSL 6TH Sanskrit DAC and then I no longer have a drive in my laptop to rip to USB. Yes I like to listen to some of my records on my mobile hifi 👹
A good Queen Of the Stones Age, in there and WROOOOOOUUUUUAAAAAAAM !!!
So I'm looking for the holy grail: I like TEAC, I have memories of the 90's when they mastered the CD well with their superb VRDS and I'm not even talking about the pinnacle of Esoteric's VRDS-NEO
The CD / Cassette / USB combo AD-850 is brilliant in terms of possibilities, you can rip to USB CD and Vinyl from the analog input, but unfortunately this device does not have a digital output and like TEAC is not known for its DACs in this price range, I didn't tempt the devil: mnrv: so I didn't even look at what the CD mechanics were
After I looked at TASCAM, a professional division of TEAC that I like, I have had a TASCAM 34 tape recorder since the early 80's. So I'm looking in their catalog, they have the SS-CDR250N: very good computer type mechanics but deemed very good for CD playback, enormous possibilities: we can rip in digital and analog, the connections are pro and there is even 'AES / EBU XLR in IN / OUT in addition to SPDIF, great for future upgrades. But there is a but, I only have a budget of 3/400 max and this superb SS-CDR250N costs almost 1000 € + options, like a splendid desktop remote control at 990 €, which can raise the note between 2 to 3000 €. So I fell back on the CD-200SB which has less possibilities, it cannot rip vinyls for example. On the other hand it has excellent mechanics specifically studied by TEAC for reading CDs, The CD5020A which is widely used in audiophile hifi for integrated players and HDG drives costing several thousand €.
In short, here is the beast, it has a little "studio" look, so to break this pro look a bit I removed the angles for the rack mounts: just 2 screws on each side to remove, the player then has the dimensions of 'a standard hi-fi device is approximately 43.5 cm wide by 9.5 cm high. Compared to my Sony SCD-XE800 which is quite slow, I like the speed of loading CDs, accessing tracks and starting playback and fast. The player is very quiet compared to the Sony which has this noise defect when loading and playing CDs. I also appreciate the function of direct access to the beaches by the numeric keypad on the front: brilliant in use. Regarding the sound with my SMSL DAC, I find the TASCAM more open than the Sony, the big difference is a more beautiful and more defined treble, I find that it has a very good sound with the SMSL DAC and it is goes very well with the Klipsch Cornawall III.

Hi @RandyH000
I gave the answer above, the Palladium tweeter can be removed from the inside, it is the reverse of the RF assembly.
Very good pdf @tigerwoodKhorns 👍👏

Lucky, AL5s and more signed by the Chef!
It's a nice hifi course that you have, good forum man 😃

Hi @RandyH000
The tweeter that looks like the Klipsch tweeter AK6 AL5 at Celestion is rather the CDX07-1075 than the CDX1-1415 😉
After we do not know if it is the same diaphragm, it may be specific to Klipsch to have the right sound with Heritage. the Only the Chef knows
For now and as long as it is manufactured DE120 is the right choice for DIY enthusiasts. For the Celestion, a handyman would have to try it out, make a 0.7 "to 1" connecting piece (take a good look at the image of the Klipsch AK6 / AL5 tweeters on the table, there is a piece made of white nylon) and tell us his feeling about the sound 😝

Tested the 2 Faitals on loan from DaveA.............they fell short of the DE-120................they favored the low end instead of being flat....IOW, they rolled off after 10Khz. as far a I recall, which in some applications they could be preferred by different ears. I listen and look and curves.
Hi,
Yes Claude 👍 I was thinking of HF104, it is famous and the curves are good, but I admit that I did not listen to it. And it is more expensive than DE120, so as long as DE120 is made it will be a very good candidate. My speech was to say that if DE120 disappears it will then be necessary to look for a new candidate, but this is not topical.

DaveA has lots of them if you buy his MAHLs. This is the second go round for this type of scare. The national rep says: As long as people keep buying them, they will keep making them. My curves show the DE-110 is not as smooth, but it's pretty picky, it's still a good driver, but I prefer the 120.
Here in Europe we have the same info: as long as there are buyers of the DE120, B&C will continue manufacturing. After that if there are no more customers for this model, production will cease.
Note that there are very good candidates for replacement from other manufacturers: Celestion (which is probably the supplier of tweeters from Khorn AK6 and La Scala AL5), Faital Pro and even from B&C ...

A gift from IBSlammin. LuxmanPP triode 50ca10. Just completed cap replacement and putting it back to factory as it has been modified. Going to bring it up this week.
I love the Luxman

The other solution is a CornScala with 3 lanes. A Mahl B&C DE120, Faital HF102 or 104 tweeter, or other will be just as thin as the CWIV

With my CWIII I use a McIntosh C504 and MC2125 set. I have the Audax pro 15" experience which works wonderfully like your JBL 4333.
With Klipsch CWIII the bass is a bit weak, even if the speakers are in the corners, so I put a little level on the panoramic EQ to 30Hz of the C504 McIntosh, up to 1 or 2 db more and miraculously the bass becomes marvelous and without distortion, it is much better than with the loudness however variable on my set. I advise you Mc Intosh with equalizer 30Hz.
To find your happiness, modern McIntosh always have this setting at 30Hz (be careful of many manufacturers have the bass equalizer at 100Hz, it is a little too high, look for those which are at 30 or 50 Hz max)
A photo of the net of the C504, I added in color my settings on the buttons
My McIntosh set, we can guess my settings

Center and surround with Heresey IV ?
in Home Theater
Posted
Hi @Joachim
If your shelf has a high enough niche you can tilt the RP-500C by putting a small riser cut or two small feet with the same angle as that of the HERESY III.
This will improve the consistency between the center speaker unit and the HERESY IIIs and you will no longer have a problem with treble directivity, even when standing or sitting in a sofa.
🙂
