jimjimbo Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hooked up my recently renovated Pioneer SX-1250 receiver to two pairs of Heresy II's that I recently recapped with Crites kits. They are stacked (gently) on top of my Belle's and Cornwalls. Well, all I have to say is.....damn.....the 1250 is a brute, and churns out some serious low end to get the Heresy's really rockin'....fun stuff. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) You have a great receiver there! I would love to get my hands on one that has been reconditioned. I imaging a full recap would be pretty expensive in parts alone. Those electrolytics look like beer cans. Another great receiver from the bigger is better days was the Marantz 2330. I would be overjoyed to have one of those too. It seems to me like there was a killer JVC receiver, but I can't remember the model. I do remember the JVC receivers weren't much to look at, but the first Klipsch I ever heard were Heresy's and were being powered by a JVC. It sounded damn good. Personally, I had a Fisher Studio Standard 100WPC receiver in the early 80's. That was a lot of receiver for a poor college kid who worked at a grociery store... I wish I could have afforded Heresy's, but I ended up with a pair of JVC SK-S22's, which were some fairly well balanced 3 way ported 80 watt speakers.

mustang guy Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 HA! I figured out the model of the receiver I had in college. It was a RS-280. Here are a couple pics i found on the google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbomberger Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I don't know what others pay, but in Omaha, a shop that specializes in vintage gets about $500 for a complete rebuild. I've seen and heard the results and it is money well spent from my perspective. I have one in now and the new caps just arrived Friday so they will be starting soon. I'm anxious to get mine back. It's a sweet and familiar sound to those of us who listened to these in the 70's, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjd Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) HA! I figured out the model of the receiver I had in college. It was a RS-280. Here are a couple pics i found on the google. For a short period JVC had some interesting receivers and amplifiers. Back in the early 1980s I had a “Super A” JVC R-X80 receiver, which was a quasi-type class-A circuit implementation and my first introduction to Class A type amplification. JVC defined “Super-A” as offering “the distortion-free sound of a class-A amp, and the efficiency of a class-B amp.” Super-A worked with an Active Bias Circuit (ABC), strapped across the input of the power stage where the ABC controls the amount of bias following the output level's variation. In theory, the output transistors never switch off meaning there is no switching distortion as in normal Class B and less excess heat production as found in Class A; however, they still produce a fair amount of heat.

RT FAN Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I currently have a pair of Heresy II's stacked on top of some Forte 1's, hooked up to a Pioneer SX-880. That throws off some serious sound, I can't imagine what your stack sounds like. Are you using a speaker switch box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
