[Custom Heresy Stands]

🍿🍿🍿

Fascinating!!!! My 1983 Heresies are on the floor, toed in a smidge and propped up in front by a 2x2.  I have been considering raising them a bit, but not 10" or more.  

[Any advice for a pair of 1983 Heresy I speakers I just picked up?]

They're notoriously picky about placement - separation, toe in, tilt back, distance from walls and corners.  Experimentation IS required as a couple inches can make a big difference.  Don't raise them very far off the floor.

 

Future??? recap, new horn diaphragms, and a sub.  While they're opened up, some seal the seams, some add bracing.  

 

The serial numbers should be stamped on the back edge and will lead you to the manufacturing date.

[Do you guys still do tours?]

😁

[Titanium diaphragm or not ?]

From what I've read and seen, you are correct that infinite/open resistance usually indicates a blown diaphragm in klipsch horns.  Critesspeakers has Titanium diaphragms which are dead easy to install.  Most of have installed them say they are an upgrade.  YMMV.

The DAC in my Marantz SR series receiver sounds awesome with my Klipsch forte iii.  

Yea, BUT......

HEOS, unfortunately, pretty totally sucks.  It does sound pretty awesome when I can get to a good quality FLAC file but that is problematic.  What are you using as an interface between the NAS and the AVR???  I'm investigating how to tag and "serve" the file to the renderer.  Plex has drawbacks.  I have a Synology DS-218 with 3TB of music files in mp3 and FLAC on a 6TB RAID and I have yet to find a way to scroll and choose  that is not painful.   Media Monkey and other software to tag.
