Klipsch Heresy 1's

[WOPL Sniffer]

Starting a thread for my Heresy build I'll be starting shortly. I'm gathering parts right now and have a direction to go. I found a thread for some upgrades over on the Klipsch Forum so I'm going to give them a try. I can't afford a pair of Belle's right now so I will do these. The Heresy speakers are also a bit smaller in stature than the Belle's so they will garner much less attention (Read: "the wife will never notice").

The cabinets are pretty nice but they are in birch and I require something with a little more "SCHVEET" so I'll redo in Mahogany.

I just bought a pair of Tweeters from Crites. Same place I got my tweet's for my Cornscala's.

The upgrade plans call for porting of the rear cover and a different woofer. Gotta wait till next month for the woofer. "No Mon, No Fun" K-55-V squawker and associated horn and the xovers are easy to find and mod

I'll find a set of Belle's I can afford one of these days.

K-55's ?? Have you looked at different drivers?

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Like what? I haven't seen much for replacements. I think there is 1 new one which can replace all the models of K-55

There are probably a shitload of drivers that will "Fit" but are there drivers that have been installed and spec'd and work with minimal messing with the crossovers? THAT aint my forte......
