Hi Dave:

 

I am sorry I don’t know the answer to that, but @Islander and many others from Canada would probably know the answer to that.

Years ago, I ordered a Heresy III upgrade kit for one of my Heresy IIs from Klipsch US with no problem.  However, I can't say whether that's still possible.  Try it and see what they say.

Where can the gaskets be purchased? What size & material?

I've answered my own question. I'll post the answer in case it helps others.

 

I reached out to repairparts.ca (a division of Microland which is a subsidiary of Gentec, Klipsch's Canadian distributor). They were happy to make arrangements to bring the parts in from Klipsch USA.

 

Because they don't stock the parts locally, it will take about 4 weeks for them to arrive, which was just fine with me. To my surprise, the price was very good --- considerably lower than if I'd purchased from a well-known (but unnamed in this forum) supplier in the USA, even before considering currency exchange, shipping, and customs duty.

 

The lesson I take from this experience is that --- if you know the Klipsch part number of what you're looking for --- it's worth checking with Klipsch.ca (operated by Gentec) instead of defaulting to a third-party supplier.
