Modifying Heresy and Heresy II Pole

[J.4knee]

There seems to have been a number of updates and mods done to the Heresy 1 and 2's. I got to thinking of collecting a single source of Heresy mods. A poll if you will. So if you could answer just these three questions. What Heresy 1 or 2 mods did you do? Which mods you did and liked? And which ones you did and wanted to undo or did undo?

My Heresys started life as 1984 HBR 1.5s(K-22,K-53,K-77M)

The mods I have done are:

Rope caulk all drivers:

Add polyfill:

Re-wire internal components W/12Ga OFC:

Veneer with black walnut, BLO and satin hand rubbed poly:

Replace K-53s W/K55v and K-700s(damped):

Replace E2 x-over caps with 2mF Musicap Film and foil caps:

10"x10" Asphalt dampening on inside of back panel.(I ran out and only had 2 10x10 pieces left. More on order for other panels. 10x10s on sides and 8x10s on ends)

No reversals.

I have a set of older Heresy speakers that I use as center and rear in my home setup. I rebuilt the tweeters with kits I bought from Klipsch. I also replaced one of the woofers as well and installed a bucking magnet to minimize the effects of the magnetic field on my TV. I installed diagonal oak cross braces to the interior of the backs in order to make them less flexible. Finally, I cleaned the exteriors with rubbing alcohol to remove dirt and oil and then sprayed on a couple of cans of polyurathane (the looks aren't as important to me as the sound).

Mains: 77 LaScalas with ALK Crossovers

I took my 1971 heresys unpluged them from my living room then placed them in the bed room .Next I hooked up a pair of vintage khorns. Now my living room sounds way better and that old Sears am raidio now has a run for its money in the bed room.

So tell us are you going to reverse this mod or leave it?

Replaced speaker wire strip with binding posts.

Rewired internal wire with DH Labs Silver Sonic T14 wire.

Added Deflex Panel on rear panel.

Powered them back up and would not change anything I did to them.

I am going to go back and rope chaulk them later, but they just sound so good now.
