ValScala Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 I picked up this set of Heresy's in the last couple years from a forum member. He has an entire build thread about them but the are beautiful and sound amazing. The Setup: The Grill: The Goods: 4 Quote

So consensus on this vintage is to leave everything alone? Don’t mess with diaphragms, X/Os unless I want a newer Heresy sound? I replaced the oil can caps in my Heresys because most were leaking. I ordered them from JEM Performance Audio, an authorized Klipsch network rebuild company. 2 1 Quote
geezin' Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 I had a problem with one of my crossovers and had DeanG rebuild them. Sounds a little different but better. I run a Klpsch KG sub with mine and it's a match made in heaven to me. 3 Quote

It just seems that most caps aren’t bad and probably don’t need replaced. I replaced the original oil caps in my first pair of Heresys, they looked just fine, shiny & new. I couldn’t hear a difference. They sounded the same to me. Quote

Those look great, and should sound as good as they look. Don’t change anything but since you’ve opened them, you might as well check the connections, tighten, and clean (if necessary). Did I commit sacrilege or something? Serious question. 1 1 Quote
Micklipsch Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Sitting here thinking I screwed something up. And then again, 45 years is a long time to imagine no one at any time took a peek. 3 Quote

Was a little disappointed the dude took the banana adaptors off that were shown in the pics. I would’ve ordered some days sooner so now gotta wait til Sunday. 3 Quote

At least you made a deal covering your fuel. And hopefully a decent road trip. Always happy scoring a decent set. Those will most definitely do. As wuz said Fantastic...! 3 Quote
Micklipsch Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 By the way, are HIs bi-ampable? 4 posts with bridges. Or is this something else? 2 Quote
billybob Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Yes, biamping something else. No need with your speakers. Read up on it here in the archive, or your browser if interested. Reams of information on a really popular speaker. Now you have access to the whole forum. 1 Quote

billybob Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Hopefully they will fit your barrier strip...nice. 3 Quote

I was think about getting a pair if it holds up pretty well. Quote
