    Not familiar with him, I just listened to Weather Storm on Spotify.  I can see why you would select that to demonstrate new speakers.

     

    Yes actually it allows me to have an idea of the behavior of the bass speaker

     

    I think the second one was : Cold train from hugh masekela I had heard the first time in a store on a high-end set based on JBL Everest and impressed me

    The really sound great, best than i espected i think. They work on all the kind of music but they excel on live or Acoustic one.  What soundscape !

     

    Il don't remember exactly what was the first music i listen on them, i think it was my hifi test playlist.  Maybe Weather Storm from Craig Armstrong

    Thanks you. In fact the difference between the two word fleetwoodmac and flitwoodmac is volonteer.  Flitwoodmac is the name of a caractère un a  famous french comic named "les tuniques bleu". As i love the music group fleetwoodmac, il find funny to take this name as avatar

    Thanks for your answer

     

    I wanted to know if these improvements were interesting

     

    I often find second hand Heresy III in france to sell but they do not stay available more than a week in general and far from my home. The price is generaly near to 1300€, knowing that the price for a brand new pair is 1900€.

    Finally I will probably wait a little to buy new one

    hi,

     

    I am still looking for a second hand pair of heresy III in France and i found this ad and i need to have your opinion :

     

    Price 1100€

     

    I am selling a pair of speakers Klipsch Heresy 2. This is one of the last series produced before switching to model 3. They date from 2005/2006 for the year of manufacture.

     

    In perfect working order, the filters of the speakers have been entirely upgraded according to the recommendations of Bob Crites. Filtering makes use of very high-end components: strong section Mundorf air chokes and extremely well-known Sprague Vitamin-Q NOS capacitors. The price of the components listed below will be more than 800 euros

    Among the klipsch heresy that I could listen to and with this configuration, they are the most consistent. Especially the filters are fully integrated inside the speakers with internal Mogami rewiring and new WBT terminal blocks. We stay visually in a configuration 100% original. Custom feet were built and varnished by myself in a golden oak color that goes well with the original shade of the speakers.

    I consider the cosmetic state as excellent. The angles are not depressed or deformed, the oiled wood is in very good condition. A face of a speaker has a mark, but it remains totally anecdotal. The original grids are also provided and in perfect condition.

    The price is in agreement with the general condition of the enclosures, the (neat) modifications that have been made and the relative rarity of the offer. Last drop for quick sale

    Withdrawal in Paris 10
    Shipping to arrange extra.

    List of components used in the development of the filters: (photos on request)

    WBT-0735 Speaker Terminal Blocks (Pair) = 85Euro (s) x 2

    Mundorf air cleaner l300 t106 2.5 mH 0.07 Ohms = 130Euro (s) x 2
    Mundorf air pressure l300 t86 0.16 mH 0 Ohms = 65Euro (s) x 2
    Sprague Vitamin Q 12.0 Capacitors - 600 DC 15Euro (s) x 12
    Condensers Sprague Vitamin Q 1.0 - 300 D.C = 15 Euro (s) x 2
    Capacitors Sprague Vitamin Q 0.68 -100 D.C = 10Euro (s) x 10
    MiCA capacitors 0.010 uF - 1000 D.C
    Transformers taken from original filters

    Hello to everybody

     

    After a first experience with Klipsch speaker (Rf82 MK1) , i want to get an Heritage Range speaker and i'm looking to buy a brand new pair of Heresy III.  But i see last week a pair of Heresy II in very good condition on a second hand web site like the craigslist you got.

     

    These speakers are far from my house so i have not the possiblility to listen to them before i order them, and the seller send them

     

    My question is : Is there a big différence of sound and performance between a brand new Heresy III and a Heresy II ?

     

    Is the money saved by buying used equipment not useful in order to invest in a subwoofer to help the Heresy in low frequencies  ?

     

    Thank

     

    Sorry if my english is not very good but i'm not american...
