Erik Mandaville Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'm working on another Heresy center channel project, that's being designed to best match what we have in our Klipschorns -- K-55V/metal horn + Bob. C tweeters and autoformerless networks. A friend very kindly gave me a Heresy I cabinet for this project, and before it arrived, I purchased what I thought would be the right horn for the cabinet -- metal horn (4 hole mounting) and another K-55V. However, it seems that the cabinet I got was probably a later Heresy I, since the cutout for the driver I have is larger, and used a total of 8 screws to mount the horn. Was this for a rear-mounted phenolic horn? If so, are those horns still available from Klipsch? Any help or information would be appreciated -- thanks in advance, Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipschaholik Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Sounds like you have a Heresy II cabinet. The horns have eight screws and mount from the front. The backs are not removeable. Also there is a cresent cut in the bottom of the H-II horn to fit around the woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Erik, can you call me and describe the motor board? late H-I's used the K-53/701 combination, but they bolted from the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 There are metal K700 horns in both the thick walled 4 flange version and thinner walled 8 flange version. I would think that they would be the same size. Perhaps the K701 for the H II is a different dimension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that they would be the same size. Perhaps the K701 for the H II is a different dimension. The 701/K53 is "different", but not where the throat matches the motor board. It fits properly between the K-77 and the K-22 (the very late, last versions of the H-I had the K-24, but frame dimensions are same). The exit throat (not the flange) of the 700 and the 701 were/are the same. I have motor boards from early H-I's and late H-I's and they are the same mid "hole" (+ 1/64" which is the same "variance" I've found on 700 motor boards...) The flange however, on the 701, was bigger and thus the "cutout" on the bottom to clear the woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
