    "Klipsch Heresy HIP speakers. Pro style cabinets, are stock orig cabinets and drivers. Electro Voice woofer. New Crites HEI crossover built to stock parameters. I have caps that can be used to attenuate the mid and tweeter if so desired (the HIP heresy runs them hot on purpose)"

  2. Believe it or not, that was my  "professional"  job for awhile...

     

    I worked at Epicure in Newburyport, MA (most commonly known as makers of EPI Speakers) back in the 80s.    I was in "quality control".

     

    I randomly pulled various components from the assembly lines and subjected them to 250 watts without any sort of protection until they failed.

     

    Careful notes were taken regarding batch lot, relative humidity, power level at failure, etc.  Back then, the tweeters drivers were hand assembled in house, so this was valuable data.

     

    I have fond memories of ferro-fluid boiling out of the dome tweeters and woofer voice coil smoke shows.

  3. How do they sound to YOU in that space right now?  Even, sub-optimized, they sound better than many speakers IMO...(particularly at normal listening volumes)

     

    reminder: tight fitting corners (foam pipe insulation is commonly used) is important for low bass production...
