  1. One of the woofers, showing that the rubber surrounds and donuts are in good condition.
  2. **SOLD** Rosewood finish. Nice clean pair. Unlike most 104/2's, these have rubber surrounds and donuts, so you won't have to worry about re-foaming. The rubber grommets that are used to mount the woofer to the frame have been replaced. These were purchased from Midwest Speakers and they are a perfect fit. The capacitors in the crossovers have been replaced with a kit from Falcon Acoustics. These are reputed to be the best capacitor kit for these speakers. The ferro fluid in the tweeters has also been replaced. All of the drivers are original. They have the original carpet spikes and the feet that go over them for hardwood floors. This is a true plug and play set of 104/2's that I'm confident will give you many years of trouble-free enjoyment. Will demo. $500 Cash or Venmo on pick up. Price is firm.
  3. ***SOLD*** Very few blemishes on the fronts and sides of the cabinets. Some tears in the grill cloth. Overall, a pretty clean looking pair. All drivers working. Foam surrounds are good. Crossover capacitors upgraded to Solen film capacitors. Flat and angled bases shown in pictures included. Will demo. $1000 Cash or Venmo on pick up. Price is firm.
  4. Very good condition. Consecutive serial numbers. Easy to drive. Have been using a 20wpc Schiit Aegir amp with great results. Comes with stands with carpet spikes. No pets, no smoking. Will demo. Cash only on pick up. Specs: TWEETER: 1” critically damped, dual chamber metal alloy dome Ferrofluid voice coil cooling WOOFER: 8” die-cast basket with curvilinear polycone 11/2” two-layer voice coil with ventilated aluminum former 40 oz. focused-gap magnet structure IMPEDANCE 6.8 ohms +/- 2 ohms EFFICIENCY 90dB with 2.83 volts of pink noise input at 1 meter on axis RECOMMENDED AMPLIFICATION 20 to 100 watts per channel FREQUENCY RESPONSE 38Hz to 22,500Hz +/- 3dB DISPERSION 38Hz to 15,800Hz +/- 3dB at 30 degrees off axis CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 2800Hz, 6dB per octave
  5. Seems like a very good price. Unfortunately, the location is too far away from me. I have the Type J's which I really like and I would love to step up to the Type E's.
  6. Hi Jimmie, I just sent you a private message.
  7. Sorry, I'm still awaiting payment from Tony T and I haven't heard from him since Saturday, so if I don't hear from him by tomorrow morning, I'm going to assume that he has lost interest in these and they will be back up for sale.
  8. Pair of Type E crossovers with Sonicap Gen 1. I tried these in my Heresy's but went back to the original Type C crossovers. $150 shipped conus.
  9. Pair of Crites CT120 tweeters for sale. 8 ohm. In order to fit the existing hardware on my speakers, I needed to drill out the mounting holes about an 1/8" larger than they were originally but other than that they are as they came from Crites. They are 100% working. I went back to the original K77's, as I'm one of the few who prefers the K77's over the CT120's. $180 shipped conus. Will be well packed.
  10. I have a mismatched pair of woofers in my Heresy's and I would like to find another woofer that would allow me to make a matched pair. One is a K-22. The other is a K-22-E. Both have alnico magnets. Date code on the cabinets is 1973. Does anyone have an exact match for one of these woofers pictured:
  11. Hi Oicu812. Thanks for the welcome. The serial numbers are 6L581 and 6L581. These numbers are on the label and also stamped into the back of the cabinet.
  12. Well I decided to just start out by replacing the caps in the stock type C crossovers with new Sonicaps Gen I. I’m very happy with the results. The midrange and treble sizzle is now gone. There’s multiple more levels of clarity now. The soundstage is huge, and on some recordings the sound will creep along the side walls. When I had the back panels off, I put some of the Parts Express speaker gasket tape around the back to seal up the back panel. The bass now is very tight and articulate, even on a low watt tube amp. Absolutely no “boominess” in the bass. The bass is audible down to 40 Hz, which is just fine for my tastes most of the time. I have a powered subwoofer but I hardly ever have the desire to turn it on. These speakers just sound fantastic. They are so lively and engaging. They are my favorite speakers that I’ve ever owned. My last pair of speakers were KEF LS50’s. Those sounded good but they were boring compared to the Heresy’s. The KEF’s didn’t do well with tube amplification, they were only good with my solid state amp. The Heresy’s are in a 13’ X 14’ room, powered by a SET amp with EL34 output tubes. One thing I noticed when working on these is that one of the speakers is ¼” deeper than the other. The one that’s bigger uses ¾” thick motorboard vs ½” for the smaller speaker. I’m wondering if these were originally sold as single center channel speakers and then someone found two of them and passed them off as a pair. Either way, I’m not worried about it, as they sound so good. Any comments from anyone are welcomed
  13. I have these Tekton's for sale in Rochester, NY: https://rochester.craigslist.org/ele/d/penfield-tekton-lore-mini-lore/7251902539.html
  14. Well, I've been doing a little more searching, and based on the following thread, I think I'm just going to replace the caps for now: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/172948-type-c-d-or-e-crossover-for-heresy-1973/&tab=comments#comment-2201974 The speakers sound pretty good but they seem to lack a little transparency. Hopefully new caps will "lift the veil".
