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

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.

No doubt every speaker could benefit from mods, but Klipsch and mods are on an entirely different level than most or all other speaker brands of which I am aware. 

jsautter,

What’s different about Klipsch speakers that would put them on another level?

Heresy IIIs are great speakers even in their stock form...I "damped" the mid horns on mine and it didn’t make much difference, but I think they’re simply an astoundingly great sounding speaker if used with equally good ancillary gear...in my case that means a great single ended tube amp among other stuff. The lack of deep bass is the trade off for a seemingly very even and accurate reproduction of the bass they do produce, and I prefer the adjustability of powered subs taking up the lower end as I like having an analog control of the deep bass (I eschew digital room correction if only to have the opportunity to use the word "eschew."). I’ve looked around for any info on the alleged Heresy IVs and wonder, Mrdecibel...where did you see that info?...curious. I sometimes think it would be cool to make a matching box for the Heresy mid and tweeter to look sort of like a mini LaScala, and mess with the woofer box for possible frequency extension...but don’t care all that much as my current setup works so well for me.
