[My "new" Heresy HI-SM]

Fortune crossed my path, I got a couple of Heresy HI-SM, it is not so easy to find these units in Europe and even less on a small Spanish island (Ibiza) I live on the largest Balearic island Mallorca.

The condition for the age could say that it is perfect, all the units are original, woofer, midrange, tweeter and crossovers. I have not yet connected them for listening, I have made a measurement at the terminals and both units show 6.1 Ohm.

The two crossovers are HIE type although one (the one with the higher serial number) #3849 by #3761 of the other, has different capacitors than anything I have seen so far. Do you know if these can be original or have they been recap? what makes me doubt a recap is that on the black base there are no traces of anchor holes of the oil capacitors.

 

At the moment I have no idea of doing a recap, I'm going to connect them to my little tube amplifier to "roll" them, measure them and draw conclusions.

 

Many thanks for your reading, I will report on the evolution of these jewels.

 

(This is my first post on this forum, although I've read it quite a bit I don't know if I posted in the right place, sorry if it wasn't)

 

Also apologies if my english is not so correct.

 

 

Un saludo
