KT88 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 If I am correctly informed there were the membranes with beryllium leads sometime in between? So I do not have these in the 1977 original equipment and I do not get them today? Are these membranes of today without beryllium leads at least as good as those of 1977?

Bulkogi Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Here's an update on my refurbishing project: Before and after pictures of the crossover networks in my 1989 Heresy IIs. I have to say the change is very noticeable. The speakers now sound smoother, which is nice, but they also sound more dynamic and much airier up top. Cymbals now have sparkle and sheen, and there is pretty good imaging. Even though the crossovers still looked fine when we took them out, 32 years is 32 years after all. I bought the titanium tweeter diaphragms also, thinking I'd need them to wake up the top end, but I dunno. I will at least give them a try, but don't feel like I need them with the improved top end from the rebuilt crossovers. So for now they're still in their boxes. Thanks to the amazing people at Crites Loudspeakers. I sent the old ones in on Monday and the rebuilt ones came back with the diaphragms by Friday!

Deang Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Those are a pain in the butt to do. I used to send people with these over to Bob and Michael because I hated doing them, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
