DLStryker Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Looking to upgrade my Heresy II's. First point is that I am not at all focusing on trying to extend the lower bass output. I have a 3 x 12", open baffle, servo controlled sub. I'm looking at 3 options or whatever someone else might recommend. Replacing the capacitors will be part of the upgrade. 1) Purchase and install the HII to HIII upgrade kit from Klipsch. 2) Install Bob Crites titanium tweeter and titanium midrange diaphragms in my existing horns 2) Install Bob Crites titanium midrange diaphragm in my existing mid horn and replace the existing tweeter and horn with LMAGL V2 DE10 Any thoughts, suggestions? Another question. Has anyone installed the Eminence Deltalite 2512 woofer and said to themselves, this new driver provides a MUCH better upper base/lower midrange sound compared to the stock K-24 woofer? Again, not worried about extending lower base. Just increasing clarity of the upper base/lower midrange.

DLStryker Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Here is the tweeter and crossover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLStryker Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Here is the mid. Yes it came with new horn as well. I had read that in some previous kits it only included the diaphragm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially brand new speakers. Yep. Agreed. Very reasonable pricing. I can't wait to get the drivers installed and enjoy the first listen!! I know there will be some burn-in time, but sure do want to hear these brand new drivers and crossovers!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLStryker Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 My Dynamat deadening alternative just arrived today! 100mil Kilmat. I will be treating the horns over the next couple of weeks. I'm still unsure about the woofer baskets. Considering felt on the insides of the baskets and the Kilmat on the backside of the baskets. And yes....... I realize I have enough Kilmat there to treat every speaker in the city I live in!!! Get away from the designer Dynamat and this is very affordable!
