RE: Klipsch Heritage Series as sudden obsession

A big advantage of Klipsch is they respond well to simple modifications that yield big improvements. Then there was the Klipsch support and owner forums that helped maintain and assure the speakers may have a long life. Finally, and maybe the most important thing is Bob Crites and James Morey. Both a great source of information and parts to maintain and in many cases improve the speakers.

I have a set of Heresy IIs I was on the fence about. Sound just okay enough not to dump out of them but, not good enough to keep in any system very long. I did some parts replacement using Bob Crites as a source for information and parts. The difference was a totally different and much better speaker in almost every way without losing any, which of a Klipsch Heritage speaker. At the time I did this,.I had a pending sale on them and withdrew them. I think I would have to spend some 3-4 times the average going price of these today to get equal sound quality. If I were into rock, I could now see adding a sub of some sort. I listen to classical and jazz and in their current form they are fine. The total parts from Bob was a couple of hundred. Add the original cost of the speakers and I am just north of $500.
