Deang Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Jordan put these beauties up for sale, and I guess I caught you all sleeping at the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 Jordan did "his thing" on these, and as usual -- the workmanship is second to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 Rebuilt the cabinets, restored the motorboards, ALK'd, etc...and ya don't even want to know what I paid for them. Thanks Jordan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dean, very, very nice. Didn't know Al was doing xovers for them due to cost. How do they sound, and what are you driving them with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 so where are you going to be using there then? You're not going to suddenly turn around and start talking about the beauty of small speakers, properly placed and their great soundstage depth are you? Mark 1's unless I am much mistaken - look perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 Jordan built the ALKs himself. I would imagine they are the Heresy version of the Cornwall ALK (if that makes any sense:) I needed these primarily so I could start critically evaluating some of the differences, if any, between some of the different capacitors I use in the networks I build for people. Basically, I will be comparing the Auricaps, Hovlands, Jensen PIOs, and Bob Crites' GE motor runs in the Type E network. The fact that these have ALKs in them is a great positive, since it will save me the trouble of having to build them. I wanted some LaScalas, but don't really have the room or the money for them right now. So I'll be setting up these Heresies (or is it Heresy's) for nearfield listening with my present gear. I'm going to elevate them, and set up either a 4' or 6' triangle. I did this with the RF-7s, so I don't know what I'm trying to prove to myself, but I guess it's time to revisit the issue with Heritage. Funny Max, ha ha!

Bill H. Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dean, I am glad I took the time to re read this post-beautiful speakers!

Funny Max, ha ha! ---------------- Oh my god - you are going to go down this route - I expect the nearfield drool to start any minute. 4 feet is a bit small for Heresies - that's almost headphone territory - I'd go for 6 feet - nearfield enough.. Will be very interesting to see you impressions. Other than Bass and absolute volume the Heresies should prove more than a match for the RF7's - especially in depth, speed and midrange - in nearfield of course. YMMV and all that - just impressions I have gotten whilst playing. as I said - awaiting your impressions with some anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnysal Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 nice speakers dean, enjoy them with music form time to time don't just use them as test mules, it would be a waste of "good talent". My heresies are sitting in a closet right now, maybe I should dig them out and use them somewhere...? lol, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 My beautiful decorator zebrawood heresys are in the back of my basement, unused for the most part. I'd like to figure out how to use them as surrounds with the zebrawood corns and stay married at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg928gts Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Zebrawood Heresy's Those Heresy's look very nice Dean. No, I don't want to know what you paid for them. Jordan does such nice work, and from what I can tell from his pictures, he doesn't even have much of a shop. Imagine what he could do with my shop space! That photo looks like a Klipsch promo shot.

jt1stcav Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Beautiful Heresys, Dean (and I wanna know what you paid for 'em...I'd love to have Greg or Jordan go over my Cornwalls, but I need to win the Lotto first)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
