wuzzzer Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 A ton of thanks goes out to Mike @Rowan611! He sold me the Heresy pair that he inherited from his father about 10 years ago. They are my new surround speakers, replacing a pair of RS-7s. I did what I've done to my Heresy LCR: opened them up, loosened and tightened all the screws in the crossover to ensure a good connection. I had a ton of 3/8" wide speaker gasket foam from Parts Express left over so I sealed the backs of both of them as well. That's all I'm going to do to them, at least for now. I adjusted their output level to match them with everything else and put on Star Wars IX to test them out. It was a definite improvement in overall blending of sound from front to surround. I believe these are considered Heresy 1.5 since they have the E-2 crossover and K-53-K midrange so they aren't exactly the same as my LCR with K-55-V midrange and E crossover. But, they sound fantastic and I can't wait to listen to some multichannel music on them! Extremely happy that I finally have my 5 Heresys! 😀 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why I sold them to you. I hope you enjoy them for many more years. There is a small part of me that misses just having them. But, I’m glad they’re being put to good use. I really do need to get up to your house and listen to your room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC39693 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 @wuzzzer, great to hear you have your setup finished. I am nearly there... 4 Heresy. My centre channel right now is a pair of Cambridge Audio Aero 2 bookshelf speakers... I might build a Heresy clone. The Aero do ok, they crossover very low so midrange that the centre channel handles is all in the HF/MF driver which is why I bought them. I don’t get any audible distortion from using 2 either. But a 5th Heresy would be nice... I should build one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can wish for you the most is that this feeling you have now stays with you for a very long time. Just enjoy what you have, and postpone the My 5X Super Heresy build thread for as long as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmlowz Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I am happy for you wuzzzer, this audio hobby of mine going on over 45 years. I quit telling myself that I am done, although I thought I come close to being done a few times Then you read about some new gear on this forum that you have determined that you need one also.
