Run! Wish they were in Canada.

Some of us have made our own... not hard. Mine are simple 4 post on corners... the dimensions are sufficient for my subs to sit in the bottom... Velodyne DD10 subs. Others have placed the posts more in the center which looks even better but looses the ability to host a sub in the bottom. I haven’t seen any commercial stands I liked better than the ones I made.

New Pass design, VFET kit to be offered via lottery... check diyAudio. I’d love to build one of these.

@WMcD Google Chrome.... is my guess... aka Google’s browser. . So you should be able to Google Chrome support for opening applications to specific pages / URL or how to open gmail inbox from Chrome?

Welcome to the forum. The Mx may be MI ... it is the initials of the person(s) who built the cabinets, perhaps @HDBRbuilder can shed some light on the initials. The crossover is E2 so this is a version 2 likely 1985 onwards... a picture of the front baffle would help. Others with woodworking skills can chime in to help help with your repairs.

Sorry to hear of the passing of your husband and a forum friend, thoughts and prayers for you and your family

Well... I’m in the camp (maybe alone in the forest) of custom made 4 post stands in which you place your subs. Measure your ear height at MLP, subtract height of Heresy to mid point of midrange horn, and that’s the height of the stands you build. You get mid range aligned with you ear, and waf because your subs (always two sealed, front ported) in the bottom of the stand. Put 1 inch solid foam, carpet remnant or sample in bottom of stand and anti-vibration feet on your sub. Bingo... great low end, even with super Heresy and mid range at ear level and waf. Total win.

I’m a 40+ year Klipsch owner but... went to dealer with brother-in-law... they played Eagles Hotel California from Hell Freezes Over ... opening is a good test for speakers ... on RP-600M. Shockingly good for a “bookshelf “ speaker... @Armando, welcome to the world of Klipsch!

Unless a carpenter / cabinet maker provides a definite answer, perhaps you could practice on some cheap wood stock and report results for all of us with a ding or two in our beloved cabinets?

Pan seared scallops at Gary Danko’s in SAN Fran.... best “cooked” scallops ever. Second best seafood only to spotted prawns... in ocean, in mouth, in 3 seconds flat! West coast BC fishing ... trapping spotted prawns, a few years back.

I can’t comment on either piece but, that’s a nice problem you have! I own a Lux R-117 and it is now in the same house as my Heresy, but not connected up yet, can’t wait ... as I’m sure you too are keen to get your setup once purchased. Enjoy!

Thanks, I have 1980s as original owner with E crossover I built and 1984 modified supers. The build project is for son in law. I have all the drivers and an E2 crossover I made, really just cabinet work to go.

@MookieStl, really well done, thanks for sharing your build. As a Heresy fan, and looking forward to building a set maybe later this year, it’s great to see this type of amazing work. The capacitors are outstanding especially how they made your coffee mug grow!

@Bharath Abhishek, welcome to the forum. i use the SVS isolation footers in conjunction with... 2 inch rigid foam and a carpet sample. My subs sit inside 4 post stands that I made for my Heresy... So it’s.. concrete floor, carpet with underlay, wood stand, rigid foam, carpet sample, svs isolation feet. Any rattle is due to volume.

Two daughters two new dogs; #1 is nearly 11 months now... 87 lbs Bernese Mountain dog... Jasper is his own man(ish). Gets in a lot of trouble with very strict youngest daughter. #2 only 2 month old Border Collie .... so cute, and attentive. She should be a good running dog for tri-athlete eldest daughter.

You could sell your really nice black ones to a Canadian friend then be free and clear to roam the Internet in search of cherry ones! I’m available if needed!

@billybob and @Zen Traveler... thanks for the comments, you have convinced me not to go for either. I’ll try my bookshelf speakers first as they don’t cost me any incremental $$$. Then build the Heresy clones and try one. And in the mean time, keep an eye out for something closer to the ML Theater I... maybe a smaller ML, I miss that ESL midrange

@Zen Traveler, thanks for the note... I have drivers and crossover for a Heresy clone build, I could make a pair and use one as center but for my room and layout, I’m not sure it will work. But once we make those speakers, it won’t hurt to try! The two bookshelf setup worked pretty well, actually liked it better than one, because you can spread them out to give better coverage to the horizontal seating space. I put the speakers on their sides on some foam padding and played with location to give a better dispersion... only to ear not via test equipment. I have two sets of reasonably good bookshelf speakers but did have to manage attenuation and LF cutoff to subs.

I had an RC-3 but gave it to my brother-in-law. There’s an RC-7 in Ontario... I just can’t bring myself to risk $500 on a remote transaction. Maybe a pair of RP-600M... I just need to find a good used pair.

@billybob, thanks, that is what I thought... the two local seem very similar in condition. I think I could get the 52 for at least $50 less than the 500. I recently sold a Martin Logan Theater I which was amazing but just too big. I don’t want something as big, and don’t want to spend $$$$, so I have been looking at smaller Klipsch center speakers which will match up to my Heresy in 5.2 HT. I have also experimented with using two bookshelf speakers by splitting the pre-out single to power amp, then running duplicate to the two speakers. I might just stick with that since I already have the bookshelf speakers.

Spec sheets look identical. Any difference other than price? Which is newer? One each for sale locally, just wondering what the difference is if any.

Worst storm I’ve been in... -51 wind chill and about 3 feet of packed snow. High centered a Yukon SUV, had to dig it out in the wind, not fun. Same storm my wimpy Buick Rendezvous completely gave up... dash said, Take vehicle to dealer. Driving on ice is different than snow. Worst is snow over ice. No fast motions. If you slide, get feet off the pedals. Stay calm. I’ve done a few 180 deg unintentionally... never flipped myself! Went off-roading in a Trans AM once. Stay safe and check on your neighbours!

I hope people who aren’t used to severe cold are safe. It is no fun and not to be played with especially if you aren’t used to it and have right clothing and house heat.

With this cold, I should post my Eddie Bauer mid-80s expedition coat on the garage section... 10 pounds of really great goose down, warmest coat ever! Straight trade for an RC-7 anyone? I’ll toss in a pair of electric heated gloves... maybe a pair of Sorel -50 rated boots... come on, you know you want all that fashion!

It has been -29 Celsius or so at night for about 10 days here in Calgary. Snowed a fair bit n Victoria at my other house. 3.9 earthquake near Banff. Yikes what’s next?
