  1. Howdy,

     

    Recently purchased this working Fisher 800-B (paid $450 US) to use with my Heresy II's. Always looking to improve sound without over spending.

     

    What would give me my biggest bang for the buck? Replace some tubes? Have a tech look at the receiver and or purchase a Crites crossovers? Wondering what the availability will be, no that Bob has passed - RIP.

  2. So I purchased a pair of Heresy II's last year and have them paired with a Adcom preamp and an Mondial Acurus amp. Very please with the overall sound.

     

    I have an opportunity to buy a couple of redone Dynaco Mark II's for $800 . The owner states that the are 10 watts ( thought these were 50 watt mono blocks) .  So my question is will this be a jaw dropping improvement or will it just be a PIA for me and a money pit replacing tubes?

     

    Would a tube pre-amp give me a bigger bang for my buck?

     

    I listen to flac files and use Roon on a Raspberry Pi, along with Qobuz and Tidal.

     

    TIA

     

     

  3. Wanted to dip my toes into the world of tube amps to go with my new/used Klipsch.

     

    I thought that maybe The Fisher X-202B or X-202C might be more financially approachable than a Marantz or Mcintosh. 

     

    That said, working condition would be better, but would consider non working as well.

     

    Thanks!

  4. So I was able to pick up a sequential pair of Heresy II's from a good home  with a serial number of 8715065

     

    As for placement what is generally a good place to start - how far apart, how far from the wall and angled or straight. 

     

    Thanks!

  5. Thank you, everyone for your valuable input. 

     

    After some reading, I saw that the II's were preferred and found a pair for a few dollars less than the posted price (and in better shape).  I live in CT and was hoping that

  6. Tank you, Dave. That is very helpful. From the video that was sent, it appears they play and I can hear them in person tomorrow. 

     

    If I removed the back, is there anything I should look for and how does one test the drivers (other than the obvious listening).

     

    Finally, is there a list of people who service or can replace the capacitors or can this been done by any HiFi technician? A

     

    Thanks

  7. Very new to the Klipsch world. Have an opportunity to buy a pair of Heresy for less than $500. Veneer is not in great shape and the serial is 136X681.

     

    If I take off teh back, what do I look for and what kind of money (and where) would I go to get them in top shop again? Worth it?
