    Am I a dark hearted traitor

    I recently purchased a pair of the RF-52's and an RC-10 center channel.  These speakers replaced my Heresy II's as my primary speakers.  I have a realtively small room, 12 x 8, so I didn't go with the RC-52 center channel. The Heresy II's have served me well, and know I miss that total Klipsch sound.  On the other hand, the RF series seems to be the future of Klipsch. 

    They are Reference series are efficient, accurate, detailed and smooth.  They seem to be the future of Klipsch. But,  they don't share the same sonic characteristic that makes Klipsch what it is.  By the way, I have kept the Heresy II's...they are only 22 years and I have replacement parts to keep them going until I die, although I have never needed one.

    You could atone by shipping me your Heresy II's. Heck, I'd even pay for shipping.

    Re: Am I a dark hearted traitor

    I returned the RC-10 for an RC-52...and I understand that there is a conversion kit to make the Heresy II's into III's, if so I will take one. 

    Is there another speaker company besides of Klipsch ?

    mfk,

     I guess that I am the total opposite of you.  I first purchased the RF-83 setup and since then have purchase '81 Heresy and just last week '71 Vertical Cornwalls.

    also great story about your first experience...

    Everything. OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out... But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life. - "Chunk" / The Goonies

    Re: Am I a dark hearted traitor

    Y'all know, there is a thing called progress, not always good, but time moves forward.  As sure as the possesion of one Klipsch speaker will bring forth the desire for another one , everyone in this and every other thread knows this to be true.  Now that I have completed the R*-52 setup, I am thinking of the the R*-82 setup.  For 22 years I had only one pair of Heresy's (ok II's) and they were great. For 22+ years of Naval service, my favorite rifle was still the M-14.

    The point is that progress can be either good or bad, but the in the Klipsch community, addiction to improvement is a universal constant.  Regardless of which series you pick, there is always that urge to improve.  It is this forward movement to improve which drives us.

    WWPKD, frankly I don't care, but what he started is a company that continues a traditon of excellence, it to this principle that I try to adhere.

    Re: Am I a dark hearted traitor

     Sorry...I bought the conversion kit to make the Heresy II's to Heresy III's, it is truly awesome.  The guts from my HII's are going into a pair of scaled down LaScala's and I'll be co promoting them with my Linux based digital media server.

    There really is nothing quite like the Heritage series.   I guess I could not be the dark hearted traitor I thought I could be, but the GF does love the RF stuff in the living room, the horns are in my "man cave", along with a bunch of computers and an old Sony Wega. 

    I think I still have a copy of Red Hat 6.1 in here.
