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.

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.
I saw that also mrd,
I’m still thinking of some II’s with a SVS, pb2000  or 2.
What have you powered your Hersey’s with?

Enjoy your evening.
