Nope, they really are Audio Dynamics ADC 210 (according to the labels glued to the rear panels).

Has anyone ever heard of Audio Dynamics Speakers? I picked up a pair of ADC 210 bookshelf speakers at a garage sale today, and can't find any mention of them on the web (but did find Audio Dynamics turntable cartridges). They sound pretty good, but are no match for my Klipsch Heresy's .... Thanks, The Great Organizer

Well, that begs a question to the forum. I presume that "shielded" means a metal box around the inside of the speaker box. Otherwise known as a ground plane or Faraday cage. So if I buy an old Heresy, unscrew the back, line the inside with metal foil, and connect that foil to ground with a wire - would that prevent interference with the CRT?

Thanks to everyone for the replies to date. I'm learning a lot. Several alternatives come to mind, including building a center speaker with matched components, but I struggle with the mental picture of a Heresy sitting on top of the TV (or is it that my wife will struggle with it ...?). One person suggested the most important component was the midrange horn and crossovers (presumably the frequency is the big issue) which made a lot of sense). Some people in this forum have suggested the Academy as a good center channel match with Heresy's - can I take this to mean that the midrange horn is similar or the same as my 84 Heresy's? Well, I guess it's time to cruise E-Bay for a 84 or 85 Heresy.

Fellow Klipsch Owners, I need a recommendation on a center speaker. I have an old pair of Heresy's (type H00, serial numbers 8420817 and 18) which I bought in new the early 80's and am using to build a home theater system with a KSW-12 subwoofer and Yamaha RX-V620 receiver. Other users on this forum suggest a matched Heresy or an Academy. My question: Would a new RC3-II be a reasonable match, or should I hold out and spead my evenings searching E-Bay for a Heresy or Academy? Thanks in advance for the advice, The Great Organizer (I got this moniker from my days in high school and college organizing ski club trips, which is where I first experienced the Klipsch sound - a pair of K-horns!).
