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.

8044drussell,

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.
It is my understanding that the woofer in the new Heresy model IV will be different than that in the earlier models, because of the now, ported enclosure. I am down to 1 pair of Heresy IIs, as I have had several pairs of the Heresys, and although they are fully modded, by me, I am sorry to say, they are in a 2ndary system, which I never listen to. My main system consists of a pair of modded Lascalas, and there is simply, no comparison. To anyone commenting about putting lipstick on a pig, every Klipsch Heritage speaker benefits from mods and updates, because, as many things in audio, they were made, to a specific price point. In over 50 years at this, I know 1st hand, that " every " audio product can be improved upon, for this reason. I like the Heresy very much, but I do feel the Forte IIIs are a step above the Heresy, for the mid horn, and the additional bass " weight " provided by the larger cabinet and the rear passive unit. The new Cornwall IV, will be the killer in the new line, as far as I am concerned. Hope I did not stir any heads, as it is never my intention...Enjoy ! MrD.
