Plywood: You'll need three sheets, around $70/each. There are tools online that you can input all the dimensions into and it'll lay out the most efficient cuts and it's considerate of grain direction.

 

Hardware: Around $30. Including screws, brad nails, and glue.

 

Time: I had about 30 hours in building my set. 

 

Thanks!

Yamaha AS models. It has been reviewed that they are colored

If this was the case, the frequency response could easily be measured to show this "coloration". the AS series feature tone controls with defeat, if any "coloration" is desired.  I have not heard the AS units but I wish I had.

[Heresy IV versus Heresy III]

Heresy Changes in detail:

 

. HERITAGE PRODUCTION NOTES & TIME LINES:

1. HERESY:

• 1957: The Heresy is introduced as a center channel for the Klipschorn. It is the first Klipsch speaker that does not require corner placement. This model utilized the K-1000 midrange horn. These are rare, and one example in the Museum in Hope is the rarest of all the Klipsch Heritage speakers.
• 1957 - 1959: Both 8" and 12" woofer versions were produced during this period.
• 1967 - The H-700 is introduced in the now familiar format using a 12" K-22 woofer (There were several variants used E, EF, K) K-700 horn; K-55-V mid-range and the K-77 (T-35 type Alnico magnet) tweeter.
• From this date through the end of the model run in 1985, various networks were used: Type C, Type E and Type E-2. All were variations on the same design.
• 1972-1973: The Heresy's name is changed from H-700 to Heresy.
• 1983-1984: The K-24 woofer is substituted for the K-22, and during the last production of the Heresy-I, the midrange K-53/701 is substituted for the K-55/700.
• 1985: The Heresy II is introduced using a mid-range and tweeter driver set that, for the first time since the introduction of the H-700 differed from that of the Klipschorn. Component designations were: Woofer K-24-K, Midrange K-701 horn and K-52 driver (the mid range assembly was also stamped K-53 on the driver). The tweeter is K-75-K horn and K-76 driver. This was the first Heresy model to discontinue the use the traditional alpha numeric network designations (Type E-2). All of the drivers in the Heresy II were front mounted to reduce the diffraction effects caused by rear mounting and firing through the motor board.
• May 2001: Finish, grill and riser variant options are reduced from nearly 100 to 10.
• Sept 29, 2005: The Heresy III is introduced featuring increased sensitivity (3dB), Titanium mid-range and tweeter diaphragms, Tractrix tweeter horn and bi-wire inputs. Component designations are: Woofer K-28-E, Midrange K-53-Ti (K-701 horn and K-53-Ti driver), Tweeter K-107-Ti (K-79-T horn and K-100-Ti driver). Finish, grille and riser variations are further reduced from 10 to 3.
• May 2006: The Heresy III midrange compression driver is sourced to a new supplier and the network is revised to compensate for the change.
• 2008+: There have been a number of improvements produced, and Klipsch has transitioned the crossovers to a more modern design. For information on the recent changes, please go to the website (Klipsch.com) for product information.

[New 20 watt amp from Schitt Audio]

I am curious to try it with Heressy III, maybe even mono blocks, it is new, so not many reviews but the price is tempting $799  SCHIIT AEGIR

also 15 day return (but 5% restock fee)

[Dynaco ST-70 series 3]

And of course it sounds great, very detailed with enough bass response. I am still listening without the filter ( I don't think I need it in my room- 9 deep x 10 wide). My first tube amp and I was afraid 35W x2 was not going to be enough (it was more than enough!)

[Dynaco ST-70 series 3]

updating tread, got me a Dynaco ST series III and matched it with Heressy III,  For my stereo playback room.  Great combo
