That looks to be a great deal!

Thank you for the linked article! So, the smaller the excursion on the diaphragm, the amount of flexion is smaller reducing the distortion. That makes sense from a strictly mechanical point of view. The more you move the woofer diaphragms out of shape, twisting and flexing the cone, the shape will be "off" when producing multiple sounds simultaneously. Harmonics might be easier to produce, since the wave form is already "shaped", and therefore the distortion would be less disturbing to the human ear. I've watched some woofers shuddering, especially with some of the more "modern" stuff. The rap / street / techno / house stuff full of artificial bass (primarily produced by the Roland TR-808 rhythm "computer" from the late '70's onward) really do a number on woofers and subs. It's never really been my cup o' tea, but each to their own. It IS fun to watch the speakers work to produce these sounds. I was in the Navy back in the early '80's when I first ran into some Klipsch equipment being utilized on stage. Grand Funk Railroad was playing at a large local club which could hold 5 - 600 people at a guess. I was at one side of the stage, near one of the speaker stacks, where I remember seeing the Klipsch logos. That was a good concert, because I noticed that Mark (lead singer and guitarist) was tripping over his cord rather frequently. I grabbed the cord and started paying it out when he went to the other side, and pulled it back in when he got closer. He realized what I was doing the gave me a fast thumbs up. This in turn got the roadies bringing me beer all night, which I was totally okay with. After the show I met the band and crew, and they signed a set of drumsticks for me. It was a blast. I just wish I could remember what the speakers were.

They look to be in decent shape for the age: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PAIR-of-KLIPSCH-HERESY-H700-SPEAKERs/263918162196?hash=item3d72bf9114:g:C~UAAOSwij5bj2NZ

It’s a shame, really. They are fantastic speakers. They should reissue the Epic 3 and 4’s in the heritage line.

Would the K-79-K drivers from a Chorus II give the same upgrade as these that you mention? Or are the DE models so much better?

Never mind, I see that my post was a little late in the game.

Mine were also built in September of '94, and they are version 1. The serials are three number Julian day, and then the next two are the year reversed. So the ones that I own start with 25149, 251st day of '94, roughly September 8th. If yours are also in September, you should also have the Version 1 model.

Congratulations on the new purchase. I think you will be very happy with the result.

I bought a few of these, and the "Quarter Pie" logos off this guy in Kazakhstan. They are decent quality, but in this case the lines were not red. A red Sharpie took care of that little detail: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Professional-Logo-plastic-silver-100-mm/152951891250?hash=item239ca4a532:g:zy0AAOSwElpasJto Here's his logo (with color added) on my Super Heresy:

Maybe advertising the price in American dollars will help: At the exchange rate today, the cost is only $1,525.

You certainly did. I can testify to that. I appreciate your efforts on a daily basis now. (I am now looking for Cornwalls locally, in anticipation of your new mod...) A pic with the KP-101 on top of the Super Heresy!

I just did "Black Water" - Doobie Brothers, and I see what you are saying about the layers and nuances. Interesting.

Just the stock K-77 version that came in the Heresy when I got it. They work, but that's all I know about them.

Yes, occasionally!

Nothing outlandish, a pair of KG4's on front right and left, a pair of @ClaudeJ1 Super Heresy for the mids, and KP-101's for the back right and left. The Onkyo 7.1 surround amp can be set to send stereo signals to all speakers, so I do that for the music. Then I don't have to change anything when watching a movie in surround. I think I will put the supers as the primary R-L, and relegate the KG's to the middle surround position. Or maybe the KP-101's in the mid spot, and the KG's to the back R-L. I don't know, what do you all think? (BTW, I am in LOVE with the Super Heresy pair! Just amazing...)

I'm listening to some Eagles this morning, and I am hearing some subtle things, riffs under the main melody line that I haven't heard before, some "flourishes", things like that. Is this a common thing that happens around here? You get into some decent Klipsch, and suddenly music you thought you knew well "comes to life", and starts giving you a new level of sound?

Offer that deal to him. Pay him a grand for the cherry cabs, do the swap. He will get to keep a set, and you get the finish you want...

The KP's came in today, and they look and sound great. Nowhere near the SPL of the Heresy, but really good for a back pair.

I use a PCIE sound card with 7.1 surround capability. I go from the optical out to an Onkyo 7.1 receiver opt in. For music, I set the receiver to push left and right inputs to all speakers attached to that particular "side", and then push anything below 50Hz to the powered sub. It makes for a very nice sound stage. Tom Petty is sitting directly in front of me as we speak. For the front right and left, I am using KG4's. For the center channel, I have two of the small Klipsch speakers from a surround set, both wired into the same channel. I know that halves the resistance, but this amp seems to handle 4 ohms just fine with smaller speakers. I have those two on either side of my monitor, angled in at 45 degrees, and they act like a larger speaker sitting directly in front of me. A "virtual" center speaker, as it were. The mid right and left are the Heresy twins, one of which is upgraded to a Super. You can REALLY tell the difference between the stock and the Super version. Just amazing. I will most likely be upgrading the other Heresy this week. I don't have any speakers for the back right and left yet, but help is on the way. I purchased a pair of Klipsch Pro KP-101, and they should be here in a couple of days.

Are those the speakers that came out of the Hard Rock?

Anyone have any of these? Are they worth messing with at $250 a pair? Thank you in advance!

Those look pretty clean. You might be able to get away with a coat of Tung oil or two, after you glue down the loose pieces...

Here are some crappy cell pics. I have some angle extrusion that I will be doing all edges with, and pro wraparound corners. Then the heavy duty cage over the woofer, and they will be complete. I know they look like some serious beaters, and that's the best look I could hope for with as bad as they were starting off. I had the thought to make them look like a pair of speakers that have been bouncing around in the back of some band's van, for 40 years of road trips.
