cyberman9000 Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 Heard a lot about poor lower bass in Heresy's. If individuals are substituting mid and high horns to achieve a desired result, why not replace woofer on Heresy? Ask a speaker guru to suggest woofer to match system. If you think the woofer substitution would detract from the true Klipsch sound, why isn't the same said about other mods/tweeks.

cyberman9000 Posted October 29, 2000 Author Share Posted October 29, 2000 It appears someone has done this with a Speaker Lab woofer. What is the efficiency of the STOCK Heresy woofer? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted November 1, 2000 Share Posted November 1, 2000 The box, direct radiators in the Heresy don't lend themselves to any big improvements by hot rodding. Overall, I'd not recommend gross modifications to the unit. A subwoofer is a better approach and is part of the HT movement. Gil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Brennan Posted November 5, 2000 Share Posted November 5, 2000 PWK knew what he was about when he designed the speaker. His goals were low distortion and high efficiency with a 12 in a small box, this neccesarily resulted in a high f3, that's how things work. Extending the bass lower can only come at the expense of lower efficiency and higher distortion. If you want lower bass get a Cornwall. If you use a sub use big drivers with low distortion, double 15s or an 18, no sense mating a high distortion sub with a low distortion speaker.
