    Re: Heresy III Impressions

     I just looked at my labels. Everything's there except the serial #'s. I was considering the kit also.

     Harry, while I wait for mine to come, I use three out of my four H II's...I got a really big shelf to put the center channel above the tv and wow, in my litttle (12 x 8 x 10) bedroom, it is something else.

    Can't wait for the conversion kit to come, of course then I'll have a sonic mismatch, but I'll also have four spare Heresy drivers, which I intend to make into mini cornwalls.

    Enough Klipsch products, which only leads to the desire for more.

    I'm finding myself searching for a pair of HIIIs. I'm considering the upgrade kit but I don't want to mod a nice original pair of Heresys just yet. Maybe soon if I can't find a pair of HIIIs though. I know how I am. Once I get the itch it has to be scratched.

    Re: Heresy III Impressions

    I thought Mark K said they would fit right in the Heresy ll without changes to the cabinet.

    Re: Heresy III Impressions

    The upgrade is specifically for the HII, not the original Heresy. I believe the only thing still used is the cabinet and the mid horn (H700 I think). Everything else is replaced.

    What about the KP 201? Did it come as Version I or II? And would the upgrade kit work for it as well?

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

    OB, Blame it on me? I'm not a bad influence. It's these da...ed horn speakers and all the little tweaks that bring them a little extra sparkle. You're the one hearing voices. Even if they are over the phone!!!

    How's them big old speakers sound?

    AWFUL, they are Thin in the Bass, no definition in the high's, you talked me into crossovers I didn't need. Boy, you're a fountain of Mis-Information ! The voices are becoming too powerful, and are starting to take over, I can't fight it much more, they are starting to make sense, I'm losing the battle, but I will win the war !!!!!!!!! ....................

    OB,

    Another pair of HIIs for rears would kick in real nice. Speaking of voices,

    HarryO:
    Speaking of voices,

    Have been leaning towards something like SS-1's or maybe RS-42's .............. Heresy's are probably the SMART choice, but to buy older ones knowing they probably need xovers (that's YOUR voice I hear) is not what I want to do ............. I really didn't mind doing the Cornwalls, that was a Right Call type of thing, they are now my showpieces, mouth opened, jaw droppers ............. Just looking for a good Home Theatre set-up, NOT THE BEST, just, good enough .... you know what I mean ............ I'll take my time, see what happens .............

    Re: Heresy III Impressions

    It would be most interesting to put Heresy, Heresy II and Heresy III in a reference listening session. Older speakers, up to spec, of course. Great opportunity for historical comparison.

    Sometime ago I thought I'd noticed that the K-28 was used in another Klipsch mode. Lately as I've searched the archives for that speaker I haven't been able to locate it. Now wondering if I just dreamed that.

    Anyone know if the K-28 is used other than the Heresy III?

    Re: Heresy III Impressions

    Daddy Dee, that would be interesting .............. put them all behind something, so you can not see them, and have expereinced listeners, and non-listeners make up the test group ............. When I had the La Scala's here , they were unhooked, had my H2's beside them playing, two different people told me, The Big speakers are awesome .............. didn't tell them it was the H2's ..........
