Satyr Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I've found a pair of Heresys rather inexpensive but am wondering how they'd compare with my existing pair. The pair in question has K-77-M, K-53-H, K-22-E and the crossover is a TYPE E2. My existing pair has K-77-M, K-55-V, K-22-E, and Type E. The difference in the mid drivers and network: how does this translate in sound and what is the difference in the mid driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 they make music, enjoy them. The 53's might be a wee bit more 'toppy'. Nothing to be concerned about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 That's the same configuration I have (K53 with the E2). They are your typical Klipsch Heresy sound. I've found mine to be a bit on the bright side, and after some measuring I think I've found a simple $10 solution. I've started a thread about it here:http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/thread/861456.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richiep Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Help, I was given what appears to be a pair of 53V drivers,(not legible) on K-700 horns. What do they handle, and where do I X them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue - you prob wanna start another thread asking that question and there are a few guys that should be able to answer that. I wanna say around 20W from 800Hz and they're good to around 8kHz?

Malcolm Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I could hear enough of a difference, even if a very small difference, between the K-55-V and the K-53-K or K-52-H that I wound up replacing a pair with K-53-Ks in my HT system with a set with K-55-Vs so everything matched. Others have reported they cannot hear a difference. You will have to be your own judge. If it were just a choice between a pair of one, or a pair of the other, it would make much of a difference to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenon Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 My existing pair has K-77-M, K-55-V, K-22-E, and Type E. I have K75K ,K53K, K22 with Type E comming for USA to OZ soon how would that sound or would the E have to be changed to suit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you live in OZ?That should be a K-76 tweeter, not K-75 (I think). The K-55-V midrange is a physically larger, more powerful driver (also used on Khorn, La Scala, Cornwall. etc) than the K-53-K. My personal opinion is that the K-55 is way too forward and that the HII is overall a smoother sounding speaker. I've had both in the house, just my opinion, blah, blah...

djk Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You need a different crossover for the tweeter. Remove the 2µF cap from terminal #3 on the T2A. Buy a pair of two 1.5µF and a 0.16mH inductor (one set for each channel), this makes it 18dB/oct. The new tweeter network goes straight to the input terminals (from the amplifier) and the tweeter is hooked up with inverted polarity. The path goes + of input to 1.5µF, inductor to ground, 1.5µF to - of tweeter, + of tweeter to gound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
