Insulating my Klipsch Heresey

[ccawker]

So i used wood glue to go over the joints and side braces and i heard if you put a little insulation across the back it would tighten things up a bit more.....any comments on this or  should i just leave it and enjoy?

Do you mean weather stripping to seal the back panel or damping material?

I read your title as insulting, not insulating...made me chuckle...

 

Regarding insulation 

 

My understanding from Roy (at Klipsch), "if we feel a speaker needs insulation we add it....if we don't....we don't"

 

So, if the Heresy doesn't have any, then I'm guessing your gains would be very little if you added it.

Bob Crites is in agreement with the above comment from Klipsch.
Heresys don't need insulation just a good seal.
That's what I did then I did a full rebuild on a pair of Heresys last year

Between Roy And Bob, I think you are getting some sensible advice.

Enjoy your speakers
