I was out with a friend who was trying to find speakers for his girlfriend of the time." Well it wasn't me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieHeartKlipsch Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 OK, so are there two horns inside a Heresy, or three? Or is that the wrong word? Does a horn need a driver. Do regular round speakers need drivers or are they drivers, the whole round thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, upon reflection, it isn't that funny really. I was done eating my Moo Shu Chicken and opened up my fortune and it fell right into my plum sauce! I didn't know if it was worth reading but because my fingers were already messy I got it out. It read "SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN SOON" Soon is right because immediately the phone rang but I didn't answer because I didn't want to get plum sauce on it. My girlfriend started to leave a message and was real excited so I picked up anyway and she goes "Remember the $200 I owe you? I don't have it exactly in cash but I have something that I know you'll love instead." She couldn't bring them over because they were too heavy and that really got me wondering! So I hopped into my car and went to her apartment and she "Come in" and I went in and she was sitting on these two speakers right in front of the door. They had been her ex-boyfriend's speakers who didn't live with her but he had owed her money when they broke up he got her to agree to call it even with the speakers for what he owed her. I think he had got them from his dad anyways so it was free for him. So I laughed at Beth and sat on one speaker beside her and told her they weren't very comfortable chairs. We looked them up on eBay under Klipsch (took awhile to get the spelling right) found they were Heresies and worth about $400 but plenty of marks so Beth goes let's make it even and that she had just been paid off with them and it was perfect to pay me off with them. I told her about the fortune cookie and we laughed. I'll tell the rest of the story if you want tomorrow. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotbuck Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Greetings Julie, I heard Heresies for the first time a couple weeks ago. Man were they impressive! I think you're gonna love 'em! Take care, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Great story, thanks for sharing. I had Heresies (type I, which are actually just plain old Heresies, because Klipsch didn't know at the time that there'd be the Heresy II eventually) for six years until I bought Klipschorns, the top of the line. Like others have told you, enjoy what you have for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriven Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hello Julie and welcome to the forum - one of the few beneficial addictions known to mankind. You are confused because the term driver gets thrown around loosely to describe a couple of things. Just like "speaker" can mean the cabinet and all of the "speakers" in it or one of the parts in the cabinet. The woofer in your Heresy is a driver. It is a single unit and if it breaks you need to replace the whole thing. (Unless you can get Bob to recone it for you but that is a story for another day) You also have 2 horns in there. The midrange, in Klipschland called a squawker, and a tweeter. Each of the horns has a driver on the back of it that can be removed. Technically, the magnet/diaphragm assembly comprises the "motor" or "driver". The remaining part is a shaped piece of metal or plastic that is narrow at the driver or throat end and flairs out in size to the mouth which is the part that is exposed on the front of the speaker. This is the horn. You can see the horn by taking the grills off. The grills are stuck on with Velcro strips. (I usually use a bent up paperclip to pull them off.) Quite often people refer to the driver/horn assembly as a driver. You can usually figure out which they mean by the context. Hope that helps!

maxg Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Just a quick point. Before Julie starts pulling off the front covers we ought to make sure she has the Heresy model 2 and not the original. On the model 2 the front is held on by velcro but I seem to remember the model one - the original was fixed in place. Julie, Sorry those speakers werent for you. Actually the speakers he got for her were the RF3's - so I knew it anyway. He is single now though.....and looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfandbark Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 The first time I heard Klipsch and knew it was a pair of Heresy speakers.. I loved them. Years pass and I hear Cornwalls... Oh my! I have the Cornwalls i heard for the first time.. The Heresies I don't. They were my friends speakers. Keep your Heresy speakers. Keep all Heritage. You can spend more money, but you may not get better sound. People spend huge money to sound as good as you do, Julie! Woof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyjoe72 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 You have been officially been bit by the klipsch bug. You will never be the same. Welcome billy joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Welcome Julie!!! My first Klipsch speakers were Heresies also. Saw them in when in Saudia Arabia while stationed there in 1985 and bought them. Had them for 15 years before upgrading to KLF 20s and now La Scalas. Beware the upgrade bug he will suck all the money from your viens!!! Let us know what you have them hooked up to.
