What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?


Oops, I meant III’s.

 have an opportunity to get a pair two’s In good shape, for under $800. Can I get by with just changing the crossover and the posts on the back, or is there a lot more that I should do? Could do, I know involves replacing everything. That’s why I’m asking should do.

Thanks all.

I am in the same boat: Here's what Bob Crites responded to me in an e-mail. "We did a little test a few years ago between a Heresy III and a Heresy II. The Heresy III was new at the time and of course the Heresy II was about 25 years old. The Heresy III was the winner in that test. Then I put a pair of our new Heresy II crossovers and a pair of our titanium tweeter diaphragms in the old Heresy II and test again. This time was not that much difference between the two. In fact some people preferred the sound of the rebuilt Heresy II.

So, with a pair of our new Heresy II crossovers and the titanium tweeter diaphragms, I think you are very close to the Heresy III."

Thank you!  That’s the news I was hoping to hear.  I did sigh up to a Klispch forum and have so far heard nothing.  Do you make the crossovers and tweeters? Can you PM me with info and prices?

Thanks in advance.

If the new Heresy speaker are ported then I would gravitate toward the versions that are not ported. I feel that heavy mods on the Heresy is kind of like putting lipstick on a pig.
