    • I don't have any video. I can share how stupid I looked after pushing ~ 200+ WPC RMS into two pairs of Supers H. I have no idea of the peak watts, but my hand was on the knobs and @MookieStl had to have been wondering who was going to buy the replacement drivers when I went too far. 
    • We all hear things differently. The Heresy was designed to be a single speaker used as a center for the Khorn. The problem, IMHO, is that many flocked to buying them as a pair to be used as full-range speakers.    I do not want to get into what others might or might not use. It has been a consensus for, well, since the Heresy was used for full range use that they 'needed' something. I can't blame the many thousands who have tried, for decades.      Totally agree. I really liked my H2.    Again, totally agree. So many listeners try to AB the Heresy to X without adjusting for sensitivity and Hz and ...
    • Figuratively speaking regarding my prior comments.   As for the price, they can charge whatever they wish to charge. I just find it ridiculous when people try to justify prices like this. Magnepan will start doing the same once old-school has passed on. Klipsch used to stay proportionate with inflation, then after Kevin Deal talked about it, that's when the price hikes started several years ago. 
    • In my opinion, Klipsch are not shouty. The problem is that end-users are often mating modern analytical Chi-Fi tube amps and cheap receivers to them. Then there's bright solid-state amps as well. My Heresy II's stock lean on the warm side if anything. Today's gear is often too revealing and many don't mate the proper amps to the Heritage line. 
    • Well, these eminence woofers are gradually coming to life, and it's definitely impressive. These are one heck of an upgrade for me right now. What an amazing Christmas gift from my wife!   I had believed my original k33 woofers were getting worn out and tired. I didn't realize how bad they were underperforming or that anything was even amiss. Now I know with absolute certainty that they were a major weak link. I'm sure they sound really great when up to spec. Too bad mine were on their way out, and too bad it took me 10 years to change them out. Better late than never though.   With the kappas, there's so much more life and energy in these speakers right now, it's really satisfying. Everyone is always talking about the speed and punch of horn loaded bass, especially with the la scalas, and I never experienced that at all with my k33 in my speakers. I think I'm getting a taste of that now with the kappas.   I can't really call these Klipsch Belle speakers anymore, and I'm definitely ok with that. They sound so much better. I've changed out all of the original parts one piece at a time over the years, funds permitting. I appreciate everyone here and all the wealth of information shared on these forums. My system is where it's at right now, thanks to everyone here.   I replaced the original k500 midrange horns with Dave's wooden fastrac tractrix horns and they're currently using the John allen A55G drivers. Now I'm wondering how much better the a55g II are? My original tweeters were replaced with the LMAHL from Dave A and they use b&c de10 drivers. My crossovers are Type AA with all Jupiter caps done by Dean. I also had to add a tweeter attenuator from ALK to tame the highs of the de10. Every upgrade has been a substantial improvement, and I feel that these eminence kappa 15c woofers are going to be the icing on the cake. I appreciate Claude for sharing information on these woofers.   The only thing I'm missing now would be a table tuba of some sort. Right now I have a hsu research vtf 15h, which I use in sealed mode. I feel it works well and gets the job done for now, but I'm sure a horn loaded subwoofer would be a big eye opener for me, and I know it would match the bass of the Belle better. My father in law does a little bit of wood working. I'm sure I could get some help from him.   
    • I've actually already done the ports along with sound demos in the video. I was mostly interested in other's experiences.  
    • So... while out grocery shoppiing at a store in this huge mall, I couldn't resist this shot. The left side of the aisle in tune, the right side is all sardines...    
    • Quad and Klipsch is a nice pairing.

    • The K-77 can only take about 2 watts. If memory serves, the leads are 40 gauge. As the voice coil heats up, so do the leads. At some point - a lead will burn through.
