My mug didn't do that for me!
Been out in the pasture picking his own mushrooms again.

I paid $550 for my Heresy 1 a couple months ago. And they are in great condition.

I was under the impression it was a fundraiser for the museum. Am I wrong? Doesn't change anything it was just in my brain.

Quick...they might change their mind!

They're getting new caps. I live in a pretty rural town. So with fuel costs what they are I combine trips because nothing is in town. I won't be able to ship until Tuesday so I was just listening to them.

Damn I missed this....oh well. Search continues.

Funny they sound fine tonight.

Well the problem returned last night. It did indeed follow the crossover from right to left speaker. Time for new caps.

Then why change anything? The old "if it ain't broke why fix it."
Because it will eventually break. I turn wrenches on Harleys. Been doing it long enough that I remember when they deserved that reputation of high maintenance. And I tend to apply that everywhere. Keeps me from having to wonder if I'm worrying about that device. I just know if I need it it will fail eventually. That doesn't bother me. it's when I cannot fix it that does.

Noticed something while working on my Heresy. I don't have a TV so music is on 99% of the time I'm home. So I drug my Klipsch R-610f out from the bedroom to fill in for the H1. Just unplugged the Heresy from the KG sub and plugged the R-610f in. The sub really helped them. Soundstage was improved as was the mid. Unfortunately nothing will help them up high compared to the Heresy no matter what I hook up. So now I'm looking to find another KG SW.

Unhook drivers from wires and use ohmmeter to check continuity between driver leads. Being a mechanic you probably already know a lot of electronic problems in a car, motorcycle, are usually just a bad connection somewhere. As others have said unhook and re-hook all connections and if possible take a soldering iron and go over all the solder connections on the X-over boards. Swapping X-overs is an excellent starting point to see if problem persist on the same speaker after doing so.

what are the resistance readings on the 2 speakers ,and are the readings a close match ?
OK I finally made time to swap crossovers and measure the drivers.
First the drivers. I measured at the spade connectors on the crossover end. All measurements listed are minus the .8 ohm resistance of the test leads.
#1
tweeter 5.7 Ω
squawker 9.8 Ω
woofer 6.8 Ω
#2-problem speaker
tweeter 5.7 Ω
squawker 9.9 Ω
woofer 6.8 Ω
While swapping I loosened/tighten all connections again just in case. Well seems to have worked. I listened to some very familiar songs (w/crossover swapped) and all sounds good from where I sit.
I really enjoy the way they sound now. I am leery of changing for the change's sake because I'm keenly aware the subjective nature. I will purchase a pair of type E crossovers and rebuild them so going back will be an option. Are the type of capacitor that came with these available new? If so should I?

I found the Klipsch KG sub integrates well with my H1. Just got lucky one came up for sale here close enough for a day trip to pick it up. Have to add I'm not a fan of tons of bass. Appears I favor a bright speaker.

Checked where? At the barrier terminal? Forgive my ignorance I'm a mechanic. I can test circuits but have no experience here. I understand how they work far better than I used to from hanging around here.

1979 and as far as I can tell original.

Over the past couple weeks I've noticed the right speaker becoming weaker. Just thought it was between my ears. Last night I swapped wires to see if it followed. No stayed in the right speaker. Pulled the back and checked for anything obvious and screws being loose. Nope. Even swapped amps to see if that was the case 'cause the main is a '65 Fisher receiver. Nah not that either. Speaker still plays but is just not as brilliant. I checked the woofer squawker and tweeter for resistance with a questionable meter. Anyone got numbers for what the drivers should read?
I'll probably swap the crossovers to see if it follows. Any hints?
