  1. Thx for the congratulations. I don't think they are really special with you in the USA But (like I said before) here in the Netherlands you will almost never see them offered for sale.. So yes,I feel like a happy man ☺️ But old caps can make the sound worse? Can I just see if they are worn out or is it a matter of replacing and only then do you know
  2. Thanks for the comments. I'm indeed just going to listen first.. Ans don't get me wrong, they sound good. Only I noticed that the Heresy 2 sounded just a bit fresher. A little less nasal, a little less like a horn. And I also had the idea of a little more dynamics in the sound. As an amplifier i use the Dynaco ST 70 with El34 tubes. As far as I know this must be a great match. Why do I have to use these speakers for a week to see if there are any changes according to you RandyH? As far as I know, the speakers have been in use all the time. So I don't expect the sound to change after a week of listening. Or do I misunderstand you?
  3. Good day, OK, I'm happy... Today on Marktplaats (The Dutch version of ebay) I bought a pair of Chorus 1. You rarely see this speaker offered for sale here in the Netherlands, so I'm very happy to been able to find them. But now I have a few questions -these are very old speakers, I think 35 years. Are there any components that I can better replace because they have decayed over the years? -before this I had the Heresy 2 It strikes me how much the speakers are similar in terms of sound. Had expected a bigger difference honestly I have the feeling that the Heresy 2 sounds a bit fresher, maybe a little tighter The Chorus sounds a bit more like a horn. Soundstage is bigger of the chorus and I can hear the difference in the low. But I'm a bit surprised to notice that the Heresy2 has a more fresh and tight sound. Is what I describe as a sound image recognizable? Or is there something wrong in the Chorus
  4. Thanks for this I obviously don't understand much about it yet πŸ˜…
  5. Thank you so much for this clear and straightforward explanation. I really had no idea what you were talking about, but it's clear to me now πŸ‘πŸ» I don't think the diaphragm has any influence on the quality of the sound, am I correct?
  6. I'm very sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by diaghrams. But I don't like the idea that there's something aftermarket in the Tweeter. Can you perhaps explain this noob what exactly is not orriginal, and is this effecting the sound quality in a bad way??
  7. Thank you for clearing this up πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ»
  8. I understand that my filter has already been adjusted a bit and that the capacitors have changed? Do you know if this modification is also a good modification? I know from experience (my tube amplifier had actually gotten worse after a modification) that not every adjustment automatically has to provide an improvement. And is the whole filter upgraded (because I understand that you can also buy better filters) or are only the capacitors modified You say that they are not original tweeters, but that surprises me since there is a Klipsch stamp on the back of the Tweeter Are you sure about this? (I try to like your answers, but for 1 reason or another I can't. Sorry)
  9. Thank you so much for your help.πŸ‘πŸ» Sorry to double ask everything, but since I don't know anything about this topic, and because of the language barrier, I would like to double check it. So I understand correctly that one speaker the black wire on the + and the other speaker the green wire on the + is by definition wrong? (in this state I bought the speakers) If I have understood this correctly, then I assume that both green wires on the + (as I have it now) is the right way of connecting.
  10. Does this picture of my filter make you any wiser how to connect the Tweeter?
  11. Thx for the answers. But I'm really totally unfamiliar with this topic. For me, unfortunately, it is not clear how to interpret the scheme Am I saying it right if the black wire of both speakers has to be connected to the + ?.. And not the two greens as I have connected them now??
  12. Hello, English is not my native language, sorry if I don't explain things clearly. Well, I took over a pair of Heresy 2 from a man, but unfortunately he didn't really handle it with care. So I am now refinishing the front. However, while removing the Tweeter, I noticed that the tweeters of the speakers were connected differently in relation to each other. One tweeter had connected the green wire to the connector on the Tweeter with the red dot The other Tweeter had the black wire connected to the connector on the tweeter with the red dot I thought, this is not correct and thought that the previous owner connected them incorrectly. It seems logical to me that both green wires should be on the red dot. So I replaced both green wires to the connection on the tweeter with the red dot. But after some searching on Google, I discovered that some tweeters are deliberately connected bipolar. This seems to have something to do with the filter And now I don't know it anymore... Should one tweeter indeed be connected differently compared to the other speaker? But if they do need to be connected equally, is it the green wire on the connection with the red dot?.. Or should the black wire be on the red dot? Someone who can tell me how it really is?
