  1. I haven't heard any other H1's except these. I did listen to some new IV's recently and they sounded phenomenal. I own/owned RP-160M's, KG4's, Quartets, H1's and a set of CF1's. I didn't like the CF1's and sold them pretty quickly without trying to do anything to improve them. I still own all the others. All of the others sound good to very good except the H1's are off kilter. Someone on one of the FB Groups said that the gaskets were a problem on theirs, so I have a set on order. I've had them on three different receivers. Pioneer SX-650, Realistic STA-2300 and Sony DA3ES.
  2. Sorry to dredge up an old thread but I've got a related question regarding K55V vs K61K drivers. I've got a set of 1974 Heresy 1's that have the K55V and I'll say the midrange is not great (poor might be more accurate). I replaced the capacitors on the crossovers and the sound improved, but I'm still not happy with it. I was looking at a couple of different threads that indicate that the driver on the K61 is the same with different horns in various speakers and then ran across this thread where the OP says that they expected the K55V to sound superior to the K61K in their Chorus speakers - which to me is reversed from what I would have expected. I have a set of Quartets with the K61K driver and I was considering swapping it into my H1's to see if that improves the midrange performance, but then there is the question that was raised in this thread about using an adaptor to mate the horns to the other drivers. Does it make sense to try and swap drivers between the two in my case to see if the issue travels with the driver? What is the expectation between these drivers. I think my K61K sounds amazing and my K55V sounds like it needs help. Installing new diaphragms might be in order, but I'd like to not plow additional dollars into the Heresy's if I'm not convinced that they are going to improve to the point where I will want to keep them. Any more money into them at this point can't be recovered if I sell them.
  3. Hello, did the KD12 get claimed? If not, I need one. Figure it’s worth asking.
