BLSamuel Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I just called Klipsch Parts, first of all they assured me all is made in Arkansas, and the cost is $272 per speaker, new woofer, midrange, tweeter, gaskets, screw, etc. This is a totally great deal. MFK - that is a great deal. Love your signature. I also get the smallish smiley box.... oh well. If that's the worst problem I have with the Forum, I can live with it.

Marvel Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Let's see, is this what everyone else gets? I am using Firefox, but you may notice the IE logo in the corner of the smiley box. Why is that, you ask? Bruce uses an addon for Firefox called IETab, that lets him set FF to use the IE render engine for that site. Still fast and pleasant to use, get all the tabbed browsing, etc., without have to go to the dog of a browser IE7. I DO have to scroll across to hit the save button when I upload pics though.

Marvel Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The upgrade kit, like the Heresy III is assembled in Hope, Arkansas. I cannot guarantee the source country of each component. It is a super deal- it's the entire Heresy III except for the cabinet, grille, and K701 horn. If priced separately, this is like buying the components and getting the crossover networks at NO CHARGE! So... if I can get a K701 horn, I could use the old parts, make a Tangent 400 cabinet and have a second set of speakers (with better bass) for cheap. I like the idea.

colterphoto1 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'd be interested in feedback from the first few of you who do the H II to H III conversion. Please note that this kit is only for owners of original Klipsch H II loudspeakers. Parts department is checking serial numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Klipsch quit stamping the sn on the back edge, that leaves me out. Mine are original, but someone kindly removed the serial number stickers off the backs. All I have left to identify them as real Klipsch is the inspection stickers still inside the cabinets. That really kinda sucks big time, as this is something I might actually do. Maybe if I showed up on their doorstep with them in my car so they could look at them, and know they weren't clones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkalsi Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Just out of curiosity, since there is an upgrade kit to take Heresy II to Heresy III, Is there an upgrade kit to take Cornwall II to Cornwall III? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Is there an upgrade kit to take Cornwall II to Cornwall III? Probably not since it would involve surgery to the cabinet [][] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Doc wins the prize for answering Tech Support Pop Quiz question # 42. 'For what Heritage speaker is there NOT an upgrade kit?" Yes thats right guys, there's an upgrade path available for Heresy, LaScala, Klipsch Belle, and Klipschorn. Call me at 1-800-554-7724 for more details and ordering. Basically it brings the last major upgrade up to current spec with new drivers and crossovers. Prices and degree of difficulty vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I just call 'em as I see 'em..I am also the dark hearted traitor that went with the RF/RC and now RSW series stuff, but the Heresy still has an honest open sonic signature that makes it great. I'm keeping them. The only problem I see is that the Heresy's don't have a great sonic match with the Reference series. The two bear a family resemblance, but the timbre (sonic signature) is very different, the reference stuff well, you need a center channel and subwoofer.

mfk Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 John, when I see Rockstar, I think of a 3 hour Muay Thai workout...please get another photo...saw that last one and spent 20 minutes shadow boxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfk Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Y'all win, I'm ordering the kit tomorrow, my H II's have the correct input cup, they are relatively new (2000) and beautiful, totally worth it. My older pair will have to just suffer with the BEC crossovers. Too bad I can't just order them through the website tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 My H2's are relatively new also. Let us know what you think after the swap out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
