Welcome!

 

It is very easy to change to titanium.  I have them in my Heresy II speakers also.  I did not change anything in the crossover.  I think they sound wonderful.

 

Before you change them I would take out the midrange that has the distorted sound and put it in the other speaker.  It could be something in the crossover causing the distorted sound and not the midrange itself.

 

If you send a message to member BEC he should be able to help you with the filter information.

 

Ciao!

Thank you very much! For informations and for the “welcome”!

[K53ti for Heresy II, changing crossover]

Hello, 

I have a pair of Heresy II, bought used and paid very few money. Here in Italy usually they are expensive, also 1987 speakers, I was lucky!

They sound quite good, but a woofer need to be repaired, and one midrange sometimes makes some distortion. 

I found that K53ti can be used in Heresy II, but it is raccomended to add a pass band filter. Is a good choice the ti midrange in Heresy II?

What a pass band filter is? I’m learning things about crossovers, but I’m not used to electronic. I’d like to know wich type of filter I need, where I can buy these filter and how to change the crossover. 

I know these are a lot of questions... I’m sorry

thanks

Simone

 

[Heresy II (best method for deeper bass?)]

Hello, I’m also looking for a replacement for Heresy 2 woofers becouse one of them has to be reconed. Here in Italy it’s hard to find reconing kit for k24k. But I can easily find bec woofers. Wich type of bec is the better option for heresy2? I don’t need extra bass performance, I like the sound of Heresy, but a bit more bass is not bad. I like very much the sound of Heresy 3, but here in Italy there’s not upgrade kit. So BEC is the only choice for me, maybe.

thanks

If you are talking about just music, I would go with the Heresy III. I liked them much better for music.

If it is a mix between movies and music, then it gets a little more difficult. The 280s are definitely brighter than the Heresy, and can add excitement to movies.

 

If it helps, I owned the 280s for a month before I moved to RF-7II. I also sold the RF-7II and had the Heresy the longest. I now have Chorus II and am very pleased. The heritage/extended heritage line is truly special.

 

I don't know what your budget is, but you may want to wait for the Forte III that is coming out, as that should be spectacular.

I had Heresy's in the music room where I taught. Had them for 30 years.  At home, I've had RP-280f's for over a year now.  The Heresy has a better mid range than the 280's, and that's about where the advantage ends, at least to my ears.  The RP gets a slight advantage in the highs, and a BIG advantage in the lows.  If you listen to rock, and you want to go with the Heresy, you're going to want to add a subwoofer.  With that, the advantage goes to Heresy because of the superior mid range.  If I had to choose between the two without adding a sub, RP 280 wins every time, but I listen to mostly rock.  This is my opinion only!

 

Thank you very much. It's really difficult to choose. There aren't shops near my home that have both. So I must choose according to my memory. Luckily I heard them with similar amplifiers (NAD, same brand that I have). I will have another try next week!

[RP-280F vs Quartet vs Heresy III]

Hello

 

Great review, thank you Grizzog.

I'm going to buy new speakers. Now I have a pair of chario speakers: they sounds smooth and precise but lack emotion. Their sound is shy for me.

I listen to rock, classical, electronic, sometimes jazz. I like very much piano, guitars and voices.

I like very much the rp 280, that I heard in a shop, and Heresy that I heard in a house of friends of friends. I know Heresy are different speakers, I know they have more of everything, also price, and it's relevant to me.

I know also that emotion is not universal and sound perception is different from one to another, but you heard both in the same condition, and I not.

I cannot buy both: I have to choose.

Are really the 280 a good compromise in terms of detail, emotion, precision and tonality for you?

 

Sorry for my english

 

Thanks

Simon
