Jerryblake Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I was given a pair of Klipsch heresy speakers by my girl friend. The date on the back is 1980. Cherry wood with the slanted bottom. They don't sound the best but the speakers look fine I'd like to find out how to repair them and what the general value of them is.

DizRotus Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Welcome. More information would be helpful. In what way(s) are you unhappy with the sound? What are you using for a source and amplification? Are they wired in phase? Are all drivers working? If they were mine, I’d open the backs and confirm all connections at the crossover networks. Eventually you may want to update the capacitors in the networks. As to value, the range is so wide as to be of little use at this stage. Get them functioning and search eBay completed sales to begin to get an idea of the price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 That's good advice. If you do open them up, take a few photos so we can verify if the drivers and crossover are original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerryblake Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Okay, I got the donuts. I'll take some more photos tomorrow. I have them at my friends house. I'm using Yamaha tuner T-300 and Amp A-500 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. Loved the sound of my 81's until I had the grill covers off so the cat couldn't "paw" them. Woke up one morning to see the cat had indeed dropped down and thru my bottom after she pawed the mid horn. More for my to do list I guess. Have a pair of LS and these were my 'fun" speakers. Just a heads up on what NOT to do I guess. Yes, the cat is still alive and tyvm for the donut! Now stop laffin! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
