Free bump. It's one stop shopping at Joe's! Decorators for the front L/R, this for the center, and a rare KG subwoofer.

It would be a shame if they sold on EBay for $1,000 before they sold here for much less.
Yes, it would be a shame, including the seller giving eBay that much money on the sale. Dave, do you need a nice amp? *<;o)

Okay, here are some real pics, including some of my @ClaudeJ1 Super Heresy crossover rebuild.
The only issue that I see with the amp (for full disclosure), is that the previous owner used some pliers to either tighten or loosen the plastic knobs on the 5 way posts. I just didn't bother with it enough to take a file and smooth the little gouges in the plastic back down. They aren't bad, per se, but you can feel them when you tighten the knobs down.
As far as the service goes, it was working, then one side blew a fuse. I put another one in, and it went immediately. I took it to the shop, and they ran through all the caps, resistors, etc. etc., replacing anything that was either blown or out of spec. After the repair, it was run for 24 hours straight, and then rechecked to make sure everything was still within spec. I've not had any issues with it since.

That Bryston amp is sweet, two buddies of mine own them. I would have traded you for a nice pair of original Heresy had you been closer.
Yes, it is. Thanks for your input. Where are you located?

I have a nice high end 800W RMS amplifier that I was thinking about putting on eBay, but then had the thought to see if someone has a trade that I would prefer.
It’s a Bryston 4B NRB (latest revision, nearly identical with the 4B ST!), that does 250W RMS into 8 ohms continuous, 400W into 4 ohms, and 800W bridged to one channel. I’ve recently had it fully serviced by a pro audio shop in Tampa that specializes in this type of equipment. The service alone was nearly $300. It’s in fantastic shape, and pushed my old 901’s at window rattling levels without any issues at all. Since then I have sold off the Bose, and don’t have a need for this currently. This amp is well known for being musical, with great bass.
I would like to trade for some Heritage (or possibly pro) speakers. Heresy 1's or 2's, maybe some beater Cornwalls or La Scala's (I know I am dreaming here, but why not?). I will sell it outright, but I am more in the mood to pick up something fun in trade. In looking at the eBay sold listings, these go for right around $1,000, so we can set a trade value at that level, possibly doing cash either up or down. I'm becoming a huge fan of the K-55 drivers! What do you have?
I am in Central Florida, halfway between Ocala and Tampa, but I am willing to travel most of the state to do a deal.
I don't have any pictures of the actual unit yet, below are some stock images of the exact model and revision. I will replace them with pics of my own as soon as possible, even though they are identical.Below are pictures of the actual amp, 4 posts down. The nice thing about this amp is the ability to bridge without the thick wire jumpers, which are replaced by a single toggle switch. This is a very nice, quiet, and solid amp. @Emile Got anything you want to trade? I know you are in the area...For sale at $800 plus actual shipping, or free local pickup.

It is not "metal" near the woofers that is the issue, it is IRON or STEEL....because they are (or can become) magnetic. The original grilles used aluminum for the grill material...non-magnetic. I had a "curious" cat, So I had the "industrial motor-boards" installed on my "flame twins" while I still worked at Klipsch.
Fantastic work there! Those are absolutely beautiful.
Only ferrous metals have to be kept as far from the drivers as possible. And don't even think of wearing a mechanical watch while working on speakers. I learned the hard way... Luckily enough, a cheap de-magnetizer from eBay usually takes care of these issues.

Not mine, obviously:

The Heresy is 2/3 of a Klipschorn, right?
Congrats, I know from experience that that can be a very satisfying sound.
You could add a lot of that missing 3rd back in by doing the Claude "Super Heresy" upgrade on your new speakers.
I am in the middle of the process myself. One cabinet completely stripped, will do the glue, sanding and priming soon, and I have updgraded the crossover myself. I am doing one speaker at a time, to be able to do an A/B comparison, one original and one upgraded. Plus, it is fun to work on a project like this. I've been doing watch rebuilds for the last few years, so it is nice to work with screws I can actually SEE.

Here's an eBay alert! These speakers look really good, along with the manual and original $1,200 receipt from 1988. Edit: I should have put the current price into the post: $525 with 0 bids, and a make offer button!
www.ebay.comFrequency response is only part of the listening experience. Horn Tweeter and Horn Midrange give a percussive aspect to a rimshot or pluck of a string that other speakers cannot. 15" Ported Woofer gives plenty of thump. | eBay! -
It looks like the offspring when a Klipschorn had relations with a mail sorter...

The bare wire is the "common" connection sometimes referred to as ground. The black terminal or ground of your amplifier should be going there. So is your input wire hooked up correctly as mark1101 alluded to that it maybe backwards?
The inputs appear to be backwards as well as the squawker and tweeter. This is going to take a careful rewiring, following Claude’s schematic exactly.

That should be there.
Thanks for the info. It is definitely a learning curve.

BTW, I really appreciate you all for taking the time to assist me in this. This is a fantastic forum.

If you look at the last picture I posted, there is a strange wire, completely bare, that runs under some of the negative posts. It goes the entire length of that small connector strip:

Since your issue was with BOTH speakers, it would make more sense that there might be a connection issue at the amp, or at the input to both speakers. Are you sure that they are connected in phase? Is the balance or volume pot on your amp dirty/noisy? Just some thoughts.
The right speaker is working correctly, 50hz up through the high end.
Two issues that I see. The mids that I heard on the left speaker were simply coming out of the woofer. In order to check polarity, I pulled the back off, and made sure that the interior wires were correct, which they are not. It appears that someone was rewiring this speaker in the past, and wired the squawker and tweeter backwards from the schematic, hot to hot instead of 180 out. The wiring from the back door to the crossover, and all internal wiring is an off white casing, red stripe on one side, black the other. It has burgundy crimp connectors, and does not look to be factory to me, but this is the first time I've cracked one of these open and really looked at it. Is the wiring from the xover to the drivers factory?
Here is what the crossover and wiring looks like:

What capacitors would you recommend for rebuild on the H1’s crossovers
Please tell me the brand name and the value of the capacitors
I’d like to do my H1’s as wellI would say to read this thread first. That's where I am going with my own H1's.

I haven't used them much at all since I picked them up from the seller a month or so ago. This morning I turned on the amp that feeds them, and the midrange was almost completely gone on both speakers.
After roughly 3-4 minutes, the squawker on the left side came on suddenly. The right came on another 3 minutes later.
Could this be bad caps on the crossover? Or could it be that the diaphragms on both were frozen in place until I pushed enough power through them to "unstick"? Now that they are running, they sound perfectly fine. All drivers are running as they should be!
Do I need to add new diaphragms for both of the K-55's to my list, since I am preparing to do the "Super Heresy" upgrade from @ClaudeJ1 ? Or do you think that this issue will go away when I replace all the caps?
Thanks in advance!

This! Experiment with placement and move them away from side walls.
This. I found that the KG4 in our bedroom for TV sound needs to be away from side walls, and three inches from the back wall. Better bass and lower mids. We can actually hear the dialogue very clearly with this setup.

Yes, if someone did an actual B from a Cornwall schematic, then reversing the mid and tweet polarities would make them a Super Heresy modified E.
Now that made the idea click into place rather firmly. It is simply a “B” network with the squawker and tweeter being reversed.
-
For positioning, I used a T-square back in the day, the crossbar on the top back of the speaker, with the main arm as a pointer. It showed me exactly where the aim was...
