Grizzog Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I owned both the II and III. The III are clearer and seem to have more punch. My particular pair of IIs seemed to go slightly deeper, but I'd choose the III over the II. However, both sound like heresies at the end of the day... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitwoodmac Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 hi, I am still looking for a second hand pair of heresy III in France and i found this ad and i need to have your opinion : Price 1100€ I am selling a pair of speakers Klipsch Heresy 2. This is one of the last series produced before switching to model 3. They date from 2005/2006 for the year of manufacture. In perfect working order, the filters of the speakers have been entirely upgraded according to the recommendations of Bob Crites. Filtering makes use of very high-end components: strong section Mundorf air chokes and extremely well-known Sprague Vitamin-Q NOS capacitors. The price of the components listed below will be more than 800 euros Among the klipsch heresy that I could listen to and with this configuration, they are the most consistent. Especially the filters are fully integrated inside the speakers with internal Mogami rewiring and new WBT terminal blocks. We stay visually in a configuration 100% original. Custom feet were built and varnished by myself in a golden oak color that goes well with the original shade of the speakers. I consider the cosmetic state as excellent. The angles are not depressed or deformed, the oiled wood is in very good condition. A face of a speaker has a mark, but it remains totally anecdotal. The original grids are also provided and in perfect condition. The price is in agreement with the general condition of the enclosures, the (neat) modifications that have been made and the relative rarity of the offer. Last drop for quick sale Withdrawal in Paris 10 Shipping to arrange extra. List of components used in the development of the filters: (photos on request) WBT-0735 Speaker Terminal Blocks (Pair) = 85Euro (s) x 2 Mundorf air cleaner l300 t106 2.5 mH 0.07 Ohms = 130Euro (s) x 2 Mundorf air pressure l300 t86 0.16 mH 0 Ohms = 65Euro (s) x 2 Sprague Vitamin Q 12.0 Capacitors - 600 DC 15Euro (s) x 12 Condensers Sprague Vitamin Q 1.0 - 300 D.C = 15 Euro (s) x 2 Capacitors Sprague Vitamin Q 0.68 -100 D.C = 10Euro (s) x 10 MiCA capacitors 0.010 uF - 1000 D.C Transformers taken from original filters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't know the market conditions in France, it would seem that if they are in as nice a shape as described, and considering the network upgrades, that the asking price is not out of line.

Flitwoodmac Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Thanks for your answer I wanted to know if these improvements were interesting I often find second hand Heresy III in france to sell but they do not stay available more than a week in general and far from my home. The price is generaly near to 1300€, knowing that the price for a brand new pair is 1900€. Finally I will probably wait a little to buy new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panelhead Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I might be wrong, but that picture looks like a Hiii to me. The backside would tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The riser does but the grill attachments look like velcro which would be for a HII. The HIII uses magnets, I recall only having 4 points, in each corner, but I could be wrong as well.

parlophone1 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 You would have to be very patient and wait a long time if another pair like this comes up in near future for that price in France. I would take them. And negotiate to hear them first if you have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramseybella Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) Hello my name is Pete Lucchini just enlisted on this site I've been bit by the Heresy bug by luck. Plan on buying the Tie Diaphragms from Bob, but i have a bunch of new audio compactors my friend gave me before he moved. Anyone know the cap values on the HII to HIII conversion? I may have some that i can use for the project before i ask Bobs help. New guy wanting to overhaul a pair i bought with a poorly glued dust cap at an embarrassingly low price i don't want to mention. Running a pair of Oiled Oak KG1.2 on the top for a little extra bass bump split through two Rotel low watt power amplifiers, one amp for each pair. At first i was like OK what's the hype, until i dialed them in and now I'm like listening to stuff i haven't in years,, more like hearing stuff i missed as well.

The III's have completely different drivers. The only things they have in common are the cabinet and mid (squawker) horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramseybella Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Well i guess i will just replace the original caps and buy the diaphragms. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kink56 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Having had both the H-II and now I have the H-III. I would say the H-III has a more integrated bass response. I find the H-II has a "shelving" effect on the bass. Either needs a subwoofer, but the bass on the H-III integrates better with a subwoofer. The H-II has a shelving effect, or suck out in is bass frequencies. If one would put an attenuation on the mid and high drivers to balance the frequencies out, then the problem would be resolved. Or, some have upgraded the bass drivers on their H-IIs with good results achieving the same thing I mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
