Broken binding post on Heresy II

[MarkNJ]

So, when I bought my II's (SN 8853900 & 8853901), one of the binding posts was broken off and I've been using a piece of tape to keep the wire in contact. I'd say it'd been long enough and I should finally replace it.

Any recommendations on where to buy a replacement and also should I take this opportunity to upgrade all four at the same time? Thanks!

Have you called Klipsch?

I should clarify: I bought them used. I have not contact Klipsch because I wanted to see if the aftermarket was a better option.

Are the banana style posts or are they the little connectors towards the top back of the speakers? My H-BR's have those cruddy flat head screw down kind and I'm going to replace them with some better ones. But, instead of butchering up the original back panels, I'm going to cut out new panels and save the originals...just in case.

Klipsch is very reasonable for OEM replacement parts.

When I need to replace those, I get them from Radio Shack. The terminals that Klipsch uses on those are nothing special. Just find one that looks the same and has a long enough stud on it to reach where it needs to go.

I second Bob. I found terminals at RS that appeared exactly like the OEM parts on my HII. The difficulty with them is that the stem is soldered onto the circuit board. A little tricky.
