Gcyrusday Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I recently received a pair of "vintage" Klipsch Heresy speakers but they don't seem right. They have vertical horns and tweeters. I haven't seen any others like that. They have k-22r woofers with the expected k55 and k77's the horn is the 700 not the 1000 with type "C" crossovers. Dimensions are 24 3/4 in high, 15 in wide and 12in deep. Can anyone tell me anything about them? I've been a Klipsch fan for years and had shivers when I got them but not quite meeting my expectations. Any advice or suggestions as to what I can do with them to get better sound wiuld be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 They may have Klipsch parts but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcyrusday Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 I was told 2nd hand they were in fact Heresy speakers though I believe it's original parts put in DIY cabinets. I would like to get them back to actual or better specs . Any suggestions, guidance or direction would be helpful. Kinda thinking rebuild the cabinets along with advice to anything to improve what I have. A Frankenspeaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 This is about vertical Cornwalls, maybe there was Heresys like that too? https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/157069-what-is-the-purpose-of-a-vertical-cornwall/page/2/ I guess these Heresys have no label on the back?

Peter P. Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 That's an oak motor board; nobody uses oak motorboards (assuming it's a solid board). Too expensive. Hope you got a deal on 'em... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
