Gregavi Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I have 1 Heresy Circa 1984 that I use as a center channel to go with my 2 La Scalas. I ordered replacement caps from Digikey for the Heresy. 3 of them cost me about $16 including shipping. I replaced the entire crossovers several years ago for the La Scalas with B&K Sound crossovers. HUGE difference. I will be replacing the crappy speaker terminal also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregavi Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) The photo was taken several years ago. I have since added several other sets of speakers. Edited September 11, 2022 by Gregavi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 @Gregavi  Sad to hear that you bought new aftermarket BK crossovers and even worse Digikey  , but had you upgraded your crossovers with new klipsch original capacitors  your speakers would have sounded fantastic ,  feel free to try the klipsch Factory capacitors next time around ..it is sold by  @JEM Performance   https://jemperformanceaudio.com/    1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregavi Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Thanks 001. I have only just ordered the ones from Digikey. I can send them back and get the ones from JEM. I really didn't know which caps to buy. Still don't. Which ones from JEM for the Heresy and do they sell them for a single speaker or do I have to buy a pair? Â What is wrong with the BK crossover? They sound great, at least compared to the originals which were over 30 years old when I replaced them. I think the folks over at Crites would disagree. I can't say because I have not A/B them with BK vs new originals, only BK vs old originals. Obviously not a fair comparison.

End quote  Welcome to the Forum.  Thanks for this; also from Austin TX. I will be reaching out next week to get the required capacitors for my late (84.44.997/8 = 10/xx/84) H1's which indeed sound bloated in the mid-range and lacking in definition. E-2, K-77, K-22, K-53-K (looks like a second K?) - they're physically perfect and clean as a whistle. Want to see how they do with a modern receiver once they're spruced up.  JEM seems to indicate that a crossover replacement is unnecessary or even undesirable; be interested in thoughts on that as well.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might also reach out to a local speaker service recommended to me to do the work, but this seems like something I can manage  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Robertson Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Have type E2 cross-overs and looking for upgrade suggestions on original hereseys, with Crites woofers. The transformer and inductor show lots of corrosion but not sure that is an issue?  living near st Catherine’s Ontario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
