Sting82465 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 My dad has a pair of Heresy speakers both Heresy 1 and 2's and they are in need of repair. He was going to throw them away, but i stopped that quickly. Does anyone know of good repair place in the Indianapolis area? . Thanks Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Even if you have minimal electronic aptitude we should be able to guide you through repairs. Welcome to the forum. What kind of problems are you having? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting82465 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Thanks I am not very experienced, when it comes to repairing speakers. These were in the garage they had dust, debris, and cobwebs. Think american pickers, where those guys are climbing all over the place trying to find stuff. . It was cleaned up a little before i saw it. Pretty sure a dust rag or towel was used, however it looked pretty good, i cleaned up more with a dust air gun (very gentle). The heresy 2's Plugged it in , and at times it got real loud and then back then quiet. I havent looked inside, to see what is going on. Im sure there dirt, dust at the wazoo. heresy 1s These sound alright, i was just going to let someone look at them. side note --- Just purchased these to replace my rf3 II+ set.--- freaking awesome Klipsch RP-280F towersKlipsch RP-450C centerKlipsch RP-160M bookshelf speakersKlipsch RP-250S surround speakers svs pb 12 plus dual. thanks for the help/.

CECAA850 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Take the woofer out of the 2's and then loosen and tighten all the screws on the crossover and see if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Sting/Scott, I'm going to be down in the Indy area in the next couple of weeks, and could take a look at them for you. Let me know if this is of interest. And, are there two pair of speakers, or one pair with one Heresy I, and one Heresy II?

Moderators dtel Posted August 10, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 10, 2015 Like what was said, with the help from here, it can easily be fixed, if there is a problem, no need to bring them to be fixed. Glad you stopped him from trashing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 There are no screws to loosen/tighten on an HII crossover all the components are soldered to the PCB. Check the connections to the drivers they tend to work loose as they are not soldered they are slip on type connectors. If that does not solve it you have a loose solder joint in the network somewhere and the solder needs to be re-flowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2015 One thing I found on a pair of forte's was the wires connecting each driver was not making good contact. they were tight and very hard to slide off and had no visible corrosion. But still didn't have contact, after removing I sandpapered the terminals a little and it worked. They looked perfect but were loosing contact off and on, only had it happen once, I heard you can use a pencil eraser to do the same thing.

Sting82465 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Sting82465, Pictures or it didn't happen! Roger Hopefully i will get to it tonight. The gameplan was last night but a newborn teething and 13hrs at work said otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting82465 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Alright I made a gallery. There was a lot of dust, in there and I cleaned it out. I don't see any lose connections, nothing looks out of the ordinary. I am going to plug it back in tomorrow and see if I was hearing things. couldn't wait https://youtu.be/MCdRrZ0O17E Edited August 12, 2015 by Sting82465 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) if you have a lot of dust inside a Heresy (don't care as long as it is not an HIP) you have a serious leak(s) and you need to seal the cabinet properly. I have opened old Heresy and they are as clean as a whistle inside how can they not be they are sealed. Seal baffle on H and all the drivers and the terminal cups.

jimjimbo Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Sting, sent you a PM. I will be in Indy tomorrow around noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I agree with Moray... All Heresy models are sealed cabinets so there should be NO dust inside. Just check all connections. A cold solder joint can look perfect but still be no good. If you are hany with a soldering iron (low wattage), you can touch them up with no problem. If there is a broken trace on the printed circuit boards, they can also be fixed, but are harder to spot. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
