    Struggling with Heresy I, is the Klipsch Heritage sound not for me?

    Is it worth trying Klipschorns or Cornwall or La Scala? Or is the Heresy indicative of the Klipsch heritage sound and maybe it is just not for me? I picked up some late model Heresy I speakers with K-22, K-53k and K-77 drivers, E-2 crossovers. The horns are not metal. I recapped the crossovers...

    Klipsch H700: removing front baffle

    Hey everyone, I have a pair of Klipsch H700s that I absolutely love, but they’re the early versions where the grilles aren’t removable. And though my son is only two and a half weeks old, I’ve begun to realize that it won’t be that long before he’s grabbing and touching the speakers as he...

    Harman Kardon 230A basic upgrades/restoration

    Hey all — I have a Harman Kardon 230A from the “minimalist” HK era, and it sounds sweet. Very warm but still nicely defined. So I should caveat what I’m about to ask by saying that I already am quite pleased with the amp. But I recently hooked it up to my Klipsch Heresys, and the sound is so...

    Klipsch H700 Heresy Replacement Woofer

    Hi all! I bought some Klipsch H700 Heresys that, according to the serial numbers, were made in 1970. Unfortunately, I discovered upon opening them up that they do not seem to have the original woofers. Instead, they have these woofers (pictures attached) with illegible serial numbers and...

    Klipsch KG4 vs. JBL L26

    For the last three years I’ve been on the hunt for some Klipsch Heresys at a reasonable price point ($550 or below), and though I’ve come across a few possibilities, it has never panned out — someone always makes their way to the deal before I’m out of work or something like that. Pretty...

    Been reading this as well as the old Klipsch Forums…. Thinking about committing Heresy… original owner of T-4000 bought back in 94 in Frankfurt…. Wife hated them always… at some point one of the kids or their friends managed to poke a hole in the woofer… and into the garage they went… want a...

    Heresy - does this look right?

    I bought a pair of 1983 Heresy speakers a couple of months ago. As far as I can tell, all of the drivers are in good shape. The capacitors all test within spec. I used REW to measure how they perform (one line per speaker): Does this graph look appropriate for Heresy's in good order? I...

    My Marantz 2270 doesn't sound any better than my modern Denon AVR-X1700H. What am I missing?

    Hi all, hoping for some opinions. TL;DR: I can't tell much of a difference between my un-serviced Marantz 2270 and Denon AVR-X1700H in A/B tests. What am I missing? Background: Since this summer I've been happily listening to music on my relatively new Denon AVR-X1700H feeding Klipsch Heresy...

    Fisher 400 Speaker Decision

    So I keep my eye on FB marketplace and Craigslist for speakers to buy pretty much non-stop. I currently have a set of Pioneer CS-66a, Advent Large and Infinity RSe's. I am working on a 400 right now and was curious about some speakers that have come available. There is currently a set of...

    Heresy Woofer - K-22-K vs. K-22-R

    Hello Klipsch community! I’ve been a reader for a while but never had a need to post, until now. I recently inherited a pair of Heresy I’s. They were stored for a long time. The cabinets were really dried and scuffed up from moving around and needed a good cleaning. I took them apart to...

    Klipsch Doesn't Suck!

    I must say a Mea Culpa for my past membership in the "Klipsch Sucks" camp. I recently purchased a tube amp and thought maybe if I found a garage sale price on a pair of Heresys I would see/hear what all the fuss was about -- If I didn't like them I could always sell them. Well I found a pair of...

    Ads l810 vs Heresy ii - which one?

    Both are around the same price. I will not be able to hear both before buying, nor have I heard them before. I have McIntosh ma6100, Sansui 221 and Yamaha 410ii. From sound perspective, I lean towards high frequencies more than ultra low end. Not that I don't want low end, but IF it was a...

    Wharfedale W60 woofers

    Hello, all. I'm very pleased with early two-way ported Wharfedale W60s powered by a modified Magnavox 9303 tube amp, but I go back and forth with a pair of Smaller Advents for the sake of fuller bass. I wish I could add them to the 4 ohm taps on the Edcor OPTs (which have 4, 8 and 16-ohm taps)...

    Used Heresy Shopping - what to look for & consider

    I'm casually looking to pick up a pair of used Heresy speakers- I can't justify $3K for the new IVs. For those that have experience with the various versions - what are the major differences among 1st (3) versions & what are the easy frugal improvements vs. more $$$ / time intensive...

    Klipsch Heresy I Restore, oh no not another one.

    I got a set of original Heresy's a couple of years ago. When I got them I hooked them up and they were unimpressive. I was hoping for 1980's boomy base to shake the room and that was not there. It never will be there until you buy Heresy IV's (or so I have heard). I Googled and Googled and...

    Time alignment and imaging

    Ever since picking up a pair of technics sb-7000a speakers I've completely dismissed other speaker designs that utilize a flat baffle or non mirrored driver configuration. Up until my acquisition of the technics speakers I had never experienced stereo imaging. I had heard of it and read lengthy...

    Rebuild or replace my KG4s?

    Hello all, I've been enjoying my KG4 pair for a couple years with great success. However, they're starting to sound (and look) pretty tired. One diaphragm sounds a little raspy, and they don't match well from L to R, so something is amiss. The cabinets are rough; risers gone, corners chipped...

    New system sounds a little muddy!

    Hey everyone, I just put together a new system without auditioning anything and it's sounding a bit muddy to me. Also, the s' on a lot of vocals are sounding a bit distorted, which I'm hyper sensitive to so it's driving me crazy. Here's what I got: Rega Planar 2 (NEW) Ortofon 2m Blue (NEW) Rega...

    Heresy Project

    Roughly 5yrs ago I updated/Upgraded Forte IIs with the Crites Magic Parts. The results were magnificent and I suspect that the speakers will be good for another 30yrs. At another location, I was not happy with the sound of the current system: Yamaha RX-A860, M-L Edge in-wall (R&L), M-L SLM...
