7591A

Indy, You're not the first person I've heard of who used Heresies as a PA speaker. Thanks for the compressor suggestion; I hadn't thought of that, though it wouldn't work with my current hifi system, since the aged MacIntosh has certainly no way of accomodating signal processing gear. Perhaps I should buy another pair of Heresies and a mixer and tube power amp as a small but dedicated PA system. The digital gear I'm using is a Roland VG-8, a digital guitar modeler like the Line 6 products. The VG-8 simulates the entire guitar signal chain, from guitar body and pickup to the speaker and microphone, as well as some acoustic guitars and synth-like sounds, so it really needs and benefits from full-range reproduction as opposed to a guitar cabinet. Ciao,

I play music probably moderately loud, and for moderately long lengths of time. No, I think what blew the speakers was the guitar playing. Though some purists may cry "Heresy!", some of the digital guitar simulators I have sounded, and more important, felt really nice through my integrated MacIntosh MA-230 (SS pre, tube power amp with, you guessed it, 7591A) and the Heresys. Though I didn't play it super-loud, the peaks from a guitar are different and higher than that of recorded music. Serves me right, I suppose. Thanks for the suggestions; I'm glad to know that the parts are readily available. I can solder, and will replace the parts myself. This was my first post to the Klipsch BB, and I really appreciate everyone's help.

Help! The midrange and tweeter speakers in both my Heresys are blown/blowing, and I'm having difficulty finding new parts. Does anyone have a good source for these speakers? I've tried some internet sources--Layne Audio, partsexpress, speakersupply, to no avail. Ebay too, though I suspect some speakers will show up there at some point. Also, does anyone have some feedback on the improved Heresy woofer for sale at speakersupply.com? Many thanks in advance.
