Zuffer Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Recently acquired some lovely Heresy IIs. Everything was well and good until I got a Quad Power Amp, and I think I may have pumped too much into them, consequently blowing the woofer and midrange driver on one of the speakers, the other is fine. I'm here to ask you fine folks what the best course of action is next? I live in NZ so things are a little hard to come by. So far I've reached out to a few companies, but most don't seem willing to touch it. Is it best if I just buy a secondhand k-24-k when it comes up for sale online? In regards to the midrange driver it seems my best bet is to buy a diaphragm replacement from simplyspeakers.. correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for your help in advance. Ps. They're the best speakers I've ever had the pleasure of listen to. I'm a Klipsch man for life. Edited July 21, 2022 by Zuffer spelling mistakes, adding that I love Klipsch speakers. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Here's a really good source for what you need. Just tell them what happened and they can take care of you. BTW- I would order the woofers and mid diaphragms in pairs. www.critesspeakers.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuffer Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 A local repairs shop is willing to recone or fix my woofer. I just need to replace the diaphragm in my midrange now.. Doesn't seem like there's any replacements available online at this time unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct-- the stock mid diaphragm shows up used quite often on eBay as they were used universally in a lot of Klipsch models mid '80's to around 2000 or so trick is going to find someone willing to ship to your location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for a replacement. Hopefully I can find a vendor that is willing to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bird Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 You willing to ship to New Zealand?Possibly but you would have to pay the charges. The other thing is if you're buying one you might want to consider going with the k28 so you have a matching pair. The shipping can't be cheapSent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
