$228 bought on eBay, round trip to Indiana to pick up, duratex paint awaiting delivery. They appear to have been painted white first then green on top. Drivers are perfection as is the motor board, The grills even have the metal protective screen. Question, should I chemically revoke the existing paint before sanding and duratexing or just sand it down and let the duratex cover it? TIA, any tips and suggestions are appreciated. This is a little different than I’m used to. David

Good tip! Thanks

Thanks all! Picking them up n Tuesday. I have duratex coming on Thursday. I’ll post a pick.

I did! And I never win anything!

I already ordered some duratex for a different project.....

Thanks tasdom!

Thanks! I saw duratex so I’m happy people recommend it.

Hello all! I have a textured black hiii as a front speaker. I also have some his, the cabinets are ok now but lost lots of veneer in sanding, around. I was wondering if any knows what textured black paint would match the hiii?

Thanks for the heads up. I’m local to it, So I bid...I don’t think the paint will match my decor so I might have to do something about that.....

Ha! Damn bad influences!

I’ve been eyeing this post for the last couple weeks thinking about the RB-35s. I just got a sweet deal on some locally and it made me wonder if I needed more.....

Where you located?

I’ve been eyeing a pair of black heresy iiis for my ever evolving setup! If only my forte iiis would sell I’d be sending a PM. Alas my timing tends to suck.

It’ll have to wait til next time! Looks like I missed out on those.

Not me so far!

Well, damnit, I reached out. We will see if I get a response.

Love it! I think I’m just subconsciously trying to devalue this situation so I don’t hate my self for the rest of my life by passing.

You guys know better than I do! The crossover seems to be bulging in places but I’ve never seen a k-horn in real life, alas.

I'm Local to Chicago, and am very intrigued, but they do look rough to me. But I’m not that handy for making the repairs plus I think my wife would kill me......

Hello Kidd! i bought F3s a couple months ago and have been experimenting for the perfect center. Of course another F3 in the middle would be the perfect match but how many people have the room to spare. So I started with an academy center modified with crites tweeter and crossover. If I wasn’t curious it would of been a done deal, game over, awesome speaker. Next I tried a stock klipsch 650 thx. It went deeper than the academy with a richer midrange but did not have the detail the academy had. Once again, in a vacuum either speaker would be great. Finally I plugged in a single heresy iii. It’s seamless. I try to critique it separately but I cannot because it’s all one stage! Very happy right now.... of course until a get a great deal on a single cherry f3..... music wise there are so many more informed peeps around, I mostly rely on some old heresys.
