Water damaged Heresy’s

[wfr817]

Sadly, I have (had) a vintage pair of Heresy that sustained severe water damage….is there any use for the tweeters and horns? Cabinets are ruined. Anything potion other than throwing them out?

For horns for sure. For drivers it depends. They where swimming in water? One picture is wort more then thousand words and your description of state is really brief. I guess squeaker and tweeter can be disassembled to examine the state. But it's hard to tell remote.

Good point, I’ll take photos…..water dripped on cabinets for a while….mold on wood and the speakers are ruined

I bought a pair of Quartets once. Apparently the owner had a plant on one of them and water must have

spilled onto the top resulting in a warped top. Probably too expensive to repair, but they still sounded great!

 

Obviously we don't know what the cabinets look like (sure would be nice to see some photos!) but some

bleach on the wood should kill the mold. The speakers might be worth relegating to the basement or

garage shop.

I'm sorry for you loss!

 

The drivers on the tweeters and horns most likely are shot, but the actual plastic horns can take a bath and still not have any worries.  There's always people on the forum looking for spare parts, so don't throw them away.  Take some pics and see who's interested.
