I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for you, you can always put them back to stock if you don't like the result (which won't happen!).

So you just plug and play? How does the bass response?

Oicu812 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 In the Heresy pair, I reworked the crossovers by replacing the capacitors, and exchanged the woofer with the Delta Pro. It woke the nearly 50 year old speakers up. Great sound, more bass, and just an all around great upgrade. I would think about replacing all of the capacitors in your crossovers, as they are all 30 - 40 years old. The K-24-K is the 12" woofer from a Heresy II and others. It's a straight swap in, pull the old out and put the new one in. I would suggest using 8 screws to put the new woofer in, as opposed to the 4 that the factory used. Belt and suspenders, ya know... If I had it to do all over again, I would. It made that much difference. How long have you had your speakers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot for the reply, i just got it 2 days ago very beaten up speakers the tangent T500 but ongoing restoration right about now, crossover also upgraded with same value jenzten caps, and waiting for crites new TI dia for the tweeter, last will be di change the woofer to eminence just like what you recommend Btw by means you reworked the crossovers u mean changing it to new caps with the same value right?

Oicu812 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Changing the caps is what is needed, same values in your case. What I did was to build what they call around here "Super Heresy", which involved changing my crossovers to basically a Cornwall B instead of a Heresy E. It's not something you want to do with your new speakers, as it was designed for a different model. @Msuwendy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxx Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Hi, I want to recap my Klipsch Heresy I. Date code: 1985. E-2 Crossover... anyone know if using different value capacitors for the 2uf is ok....? reason being that I have some nice 3uF Dynamicap and 2.7uF Mundorf from a previous project that I never followed through with... would I be able to get away with this.? hopefully doesn’t make the mids and highs any louder or brighter lol... i find it a little unbalanced with the woofer... I was thinking of adding the 16ohm 10w resistor across the squawker.. And changing the taps... thx Edited November 16, 2020 by Maxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
