Klipsch Heresy II and Crites Crossovers


Recommended Posts

Have a pair of Klipsch Heresy II new since '96-'98, are in great shape and sound good, great.  I have just found a site, Crites Speakers, and am looking at the Crites crossovers for same. What can be expected for the three types of crossovers Bronze, silver and gold. What difference do the Capacitor's inductors do for each, What sort of improvement can one expect for these crossovers. Also the new tweeters, Woofers etc.

I can only tell you from my own experience with my 1977 LaScala that your current autoformers and coils are worth their weight in gold. Everything else (and Crites does not have the original values of the autoformers) is an audible deterioration. That leaves the capacitors. I have had bad experience with Crits Sonicaps. I don't know what he sells today. But just buy new capacitors from JEM. They will give you the original sound of your Heresy. Please take care of all other components forever and don't replace them.

If you’re wanting to replace drivers you should consider the upgrade kit from Klipsch. I don’t recall the price.

Ask your question at Audiokarma Klipsch section for a honest answer.

So we don't give honest answers here on the Klipsch forum?  Really?? 

I have over 46 years of experience with the Heritage speakers and I always give honest answers as do other forum members.
