WTB Klipsch HIE Networks for Heresy HIP's

[Frzninvt]

Looks like a missed out on a couple of sets on ePay.  I am going to attempt turn a standard Heresy into an HIP, I have the K-42's just wondering if the K-57 mids are able to run hotter like the K-55V's.  Going to try sealed with polyfill at first then will add the slotted port and shelf.

The k-57 runs about 3db hotter than the 55v, here's a link to a thread discussing this, one of your old threads actually:

 

 

"This is the response that I got from Steve Phillips at Klipsch

"Well,

My suggestion would be no, you could not use the B-3 with the K-55-V.

There spl differences between the 55-V and 57-K, 57 is about 2 to 3 dB higher

I do not have specs on them, but the network differences are easy to notice.

Not sure if you have the B-3, but I will send it along.

Caps and tap points are different.

You may be able to just change the tap points and the mid level be correct.

I would suggest that it may not cause any problems using the network, just may not sound "right."

try finding a pair of aa networks..

 

factory specs call for a modified aa network

I have a set rebuilt by Crites that I'm not using, not sure if I'm ready to let them go though.. I believe the HIE are the same as the AA with the exception of one capacitor.
