lordsummit Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hi can anybody help? I bought a pair of heresy II's in November and I've been working on them for what seems ever since. I've twice had to repair the squawker in one speaker, so I replaced the crossovers as well to make sure that there was no way they were being damaged via the wrong signal being sent etc.... Anyway to cut a long story short the same driver is broken again, I suspect there's more wrong with it than a re-coil and a clean can fix. I may send it away again, but I suspect I'll spend far too long listening suspiciously at it, so I'm trying to locate a replacement. I've tried Klipsch, but they're not interested as I'm in the UK. They referred me to their European distributor, who I have sent several emails to in the last 4 months, but have had no replies. Has anyone got any drivers they'd be willing to sell or be able to point me in the right direction, I'd be like a puppy with two tails if you can!

ricktate Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hi have you checked the driver with OHM meter? Could be the wires going to it i have been on forum for long time never heard of mid-range driver going out very often so some thing is very wrong as in wired up wrong or something wrong with your amp.Hope you find out whats wrong with it,,,look at other speaker see if wired up the same.Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsummit Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Ok, this is what I've done so far! The driver has had a new voice coil, the speakers have had new crossovers courtesy of Bob Crites, these included new wires. I've checked all the wiring for being in the right place. I've swapped the driver from one side to another, and the problem follows the driver. My suspicion is that the diaphragm on the driver might have gone. But having had two attempts to repair and spent about £80 plus Bob's crossovers, I'm rather anxious to get it sorted this time. Heresy's are quite rare over here so these were an imported ebay 'bargain!!!!' I could have bought a pair of Cornwalls for what I've spent on them, but I'm not giving up....

lordsummit Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Sorry Arfandbark, I've just opened them up now, and there's another mystery, there's no number on the driver but it looks like this. So I'm now hoping this is a real Klipsch driver, because the crossovers in there weren't for sure. There is a number on the horn itself that says K-701, but I presume that's the part number for the horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfandbark Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Well, the horn lens is correct..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomad02rider Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 There's a pair on ebay if that's any help. Item # 190099668122. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 The horn and driver conbination should be a K-53-K. I have some if you are interested in a new one. Bob Crites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 That should be a K53 model on the Heresy I believe. Email me at work tomorrow michael.colter@klipsch.com, I'll find someone over there to help you out. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
