I just bought a pair of walnut Heresy I’s from the original owner and I love them. The only flaws are a shallow 4” scratch and a black stain. I ‘m going to try to find the least invasive way to correct these flaws. Then I’m going to re-cap them with capacitors from Crites Speakers.
They turned out very sharp and utterly unique - who else in the world has green ribbon accents in the wood? A happy little accident of their history. Rock on!
Really well done, Ben. Woodwork isn’t exactly my forte so it was nice to see the techniques you used. I think they look great now for an appropriate rustic setting. Would definitely be interesting to see how a darker finish or new veneer would look also, as well as the techniques you’d use. Keep up the hands-on videos. Speaking of which, what did you do to your hand?
Drivers and XOs were in great condition. They sound very nice. It’s been fun switching over to a horn loaded design. Thank you for the feedback. If I end up doing a reveneer I will likely pull the drivers to make manipulating the cabinet easier and can capture loading and unloading there.
@@NovaluxStereophonic great. I’ll subscribe. It’s that mid horn that sets these apart. I have a pair of ‘82 lacquered walnut which the laquer finish has made them carefree only needing dusting. I updated the caps and mid diaphragms, and went with a Crites CT120 tweeters. They went from sounding scratchy, old, and annoying to clean, dynamic, and new.
The cabinets on mine have the same dark circle stain on top. Wtf is that? You did a good job. Mine look pretty good but they’re scratched on top. I don’t know shot about carpentry tho. Also mine are from the 60s so the grills aren’t removable.
I've been using Glidden Spray in Matte. I have been reluctant to try the Krylon Fusion, but your video has given me a reason to try it.
Nice Work. Great narration!
Great video! I just got a set that I need to restore. One of the better videos out there.

These look fantastic. Gonna do my newly acquired KG4s like this! Thanks for the vid!
Nice job Ben!

Rock on!
Beautiful work! Need to do this with a pair of JBL L1's

I like the green tint, did you consider painting them all green and then sand it off?
Nice woodwork, but how do they sound?
Rescued. Nice work!
Would have liked to have seen some of the driver and xo install. How do they sound?

Lots of people put plants on top of speakers. Large dark round marks are usually from potted plants that have been over watered.
@@NovaluxStereophonicoh wow that makes sense. I remember my parents having plants on their speakers when I was a kid
You should stain them ...that would make a great video ...
Butt joints. You can tell they were made in Arkansas
Meh.
How about showing how you went about restoring the Heresy speakers that you have…
LOOKS WORST ........
