I say that because I’m from there and that’s all anyone ever called them.

My Grandma would say that you don’t eat a can you pee in. As we would laugh at people who said it while shelling pecans from the tree she planted as a girl. Lost her 6 years ago. Still have the tree though.

^^^^^^^ yup….

I’d try other speakers if possible. Maybe swap left and right?

So a deal came up for  a pair of KG4-WO's, got em for 340. (SN's 8514562/3)   Compared to the heresy 1.5, definitely a different sound, much warmer. For some stuff it seems better other stuff the heresy wins out 

 

aside from a cap kit anything I should look to be updating?

Just make sure the cabinet is tight. Good deal for walnut!

They are listed on marketplace and let go as well. Seems they are some sort of antique dealer.

[Quartet treble not as sparkly as the KG 3.5]

I’m with ^. Swap tweeters around and see, but only if they actually match. I’ve had Quartets and the top end was great. Otherwise it could be damaged diaphragm or aging crossovers. Do the Quartets sound equal from one to another? I have a tone generator app for just such occasions. 

[SS Receiver Putting]

Sounds like something else went bad. Probably a resistor, transistor, or a bad solder joint.

As for the question above, where does a "numbnuts" fit in?

Or better a whole *** than a half ***?

I have researched the HGS18THX Ultra 2, only found 1  sold in the last 2-3 years and sold for $2200.00 before that last one sold for $1780.00 

I have a Velodyne 18. It’s not the THX, but was a much better bargain than that. It would certainly be hard to replace for the money. 

[Klipsch Integrated Surround Sound System $1,300 Indianapolis IN.]

Not a bad set of speakers.

[1976 Cornwalls]

eBay is probably the best option. Good luck!

i am thinking a tube amp and a couple of rel subs in the future.
So in the meantime i might just experiment with a few inches here and there😅

 

I always say the best stands for Heresy are subwoofers. 

[What av receiver should I buy]

I saw that the 7.2 slimline has 50w and the premium 7.2 by marantz has 100w. The slimline obviously is cheaper but will the 50w be enough to drive the towers or would I be better off spending the extra money for 100w.

100 watts or better is what I suggest.

So that means, I would have to change my tweeters?

No. You have the correct tweeters for that style crossover. To sound “right” you need to replace them with Klipsch parts. 

[What av receiver should I buy]

I’m sure you’ll get lots of opinions on this. My setup isn’t quite that, but close. I have a Marantz that’s a few years old and it serves me well. I tried a Yamaha last year and hated it. 2 Sonys before that. I won’t buy another Sony…..

[Do I need to replace my diaphragms in all my horns for my 1980 LaScala's?]

26 minutes ago, bsacco1 said:

I recently acquired some vintage 1980 LaScala's. I immediately called Klipsch to order a pair of fresh K33 woofers. 

 

The crossovers were tired and I think leaking so I upgraded the x-overs. 

 

After listening to the speakers they seemed too bright and a bit shrill with a tab bit of distortion.

 

Is the answer as simple as Do I replacing my diaphragms in all my horns or is it a problem with the x-over?

 

Please advise.

I’d double check the crossovers.

Well hell..... going to order some Watco Tung Oil now as well!!  I'll report back with pics comparing Watco Rejuvenating Oil, Watco Tung Oil and Trade Secret.  I'm going to have one "rough around the edges" KG4 that is going to look a little jacked up after I finish testing!!

Test on the bottom!
