    Heresy IIs are just terrific

    Bought these last weekend and I must say that I haven't enjoyed music this much in a long time. I've owned KG-4s and original Fortes and like the Heresy IIs better than both. I think that the bass loads better in my smallish LR of 17 X 13; it's not overpowering, just well balanced and defined. I can't wait to hear these speakers with a nice little tubed integrated. Listeing to Willie Nelson "Stardust" right now (vinyl) and it sounds beautiful...

    I personally think they are much better balanced tonally that the original Heresy. Not as in your face, and the bass on mine is wonderful. That's a great Nelson album, btw.

     BONUS-we have a kit that you can order to convert your H II's into H III's! (does not work with original Heresy).

     Really, maybe I won't get rid of my old II's for an RSW-10d.  Let me know about the kit anyway, as an employee you have our contact info.

    Re: Heresy IIs are just terrific

    We've actually had this part number for some time. It's about time that it was shared with you guys. Here's the deal- For $272 each speaker, you get a kit of parts that essentialy turns a H II (NOT H) into a H III. It appears to be everything but the new slant riser base.

     

    Order part number 1006972 for parts to upgrade ONE cabinet:

    K 107 TI  titanium Tractrix tweeter

    K 52 TI titanium mid driver

    K 28 THUMPIN woofer

    new crossover network with wire bundle

    mounting screws and gaskets for horns and drivers.

     

    Attached are the installation instructions and parts list.

    Note that this is recommended for the EXPERIENCED INSTALLER only!

    You will be asked to provide a valid H II serial number for each kit purchased. This is to deter counterfiters.
