    $500 Wow! Thanks for helping with the negotiations. Was not aware of the fact this was an auction site either. I never knew thr empty cabinets could be worth that. I'll be sure to give you a shout when I have something I am looking to let go of too. 

     

    JK. LOL.😷

    I'd sure prefer to sell these whole, but will stay in touch if I part them. I believe I might have a 2nd pair of HWO cabinets at home. Please give me a few days to check. I'd be looking to get $150 for the empties. Thanks.

    A pair just sold on eBay for $1150 so there might be hope after all:

     

     

    I've hit the $1,000 threshold two other times with Heresy 1's, just not on the forum, lol. Too often, guys chime in with comments that essentially crap on sales...things like prices being too close to Heresy III prices and displaying eBay sales with other forum members laughing at the price. Once again, THIS is why this forum is so incredibly annoying. Buy or don't buy, but everyone is an online appraiser behind their keyboard.

    Vintage is in my brothers.  The Hipster crowd are the ones seeking the vinyl, turntables, tubes, and vintage speakers and most likely driving up the prices..

     

    Good luck with your sale.  Beautiful Heresys.

    Hi Bill, thank you for the kind words. It'd be a shame to part these, so I hope someone else feels these are the pinnacle of first generation Heresys and keeps them whole. We'll see what happens...

    Only thing I'd ever upgrade my 81 Heresys to would be Cornwalls or LaScalas and you better believe the soldered K-55Vs from the Heresys would come along for the ride. 

    I'm not usually into the K77 sounds better or worse than the K77M discussion, but like you, the soldered terminal K55V is phenomenal. Thanks for the message, Wuzzer, good to hear from you.

    Unfortunately those speakers are worth more parted out than put together and with H-3's selling at you asking price lately I'm sure that's the route you'll end up going. 

     

    Good news is these parts will go to good use and someone will pick up the empty cabinets and they will be born again, possibly as super heresys? 

     

    Anyway good luck with your sale!

    I hear ya, but I'd certainly rather keep them whole. Hopefully there's a guy out there putting together a vintage system and wants what many say are the sweetest sounding version of the Heresy made. We'll see...

    I tried this years ago and my post lasted about a day before I got frustrated with the responses and just parted the speakers out. But, let's see if things are different this time around. I have a pair of 1981 HWO Heresys with angle risers and the most sought after version of the K55V; the soldered terminal, dual phase plug version. Theoretically, these should be the smoothest sounding Heresys from the golden age of Klipsch. They're $1,000. I'll give them a couple weeks, and if they don't sell, I'll part 'em out. Even after eBay fees, I'll do better than my asking price parting them out.  These are pickup only in 53560, just West of Madison, WI. Again, if I have to box these up, I'll just part them out. I've done nothing with these speakers except let them sit in a spare room. No stains, but a few chips...still living room worthy. These would look gorgeous oiled up with 0000 steel wool...once a day for a week, once a week for a month, and once a month for a year. Lol, I think HornEd shared that trick with me, and it WORKS. 

     

    Those who have worked with me before know I'm a pretty reasonable guy. My intention is not to come off harsh, but I don't have time to do math with guys who will inevitably say they're not worth the money. But, those are the same guys who get angry when speakers get parted out...

     

    Get a pair of subs with these and have a system that will rival Klipschorns. Seriously. 

     

    Thanks guys. Jeff

    No objection at all on my part, but thank you for asking. When these sell, I'll be sure to let the buyer know glass tops and a Forte center are within an hour from me!

    Due to the location only, if anyone was interested in a 3 channel set-up, I have a single Forte II in oiled oak that can be purchased as an add-on. Just throwing it out there.

     

    P.S. I have some nice glass tops that fit Chorus II also. Again, only posting here because this sale is local to my location and that the new owner of some very nice Chorus II's may want some extras.

     

     If @tidmack objects, I will happily remove this post. Either way, it is a great opportunity for someone.

    SOLD 1995 Chorus 2's for sale. From a non-smoking long term home. Original drivers, stunning oiled oak finish, consecutive serial numbers (341599473 and 4) and gorgeous grain. A couple of superficial nicks, but overall, about as clean as 25 year old speakers get.  For someone with space constraints, Chorus II's are an easy way to get the BIG Klipsch sound with a footprint about the size of Heresys. In my opinion, these are the most underrated Klipsch speakers out there. 

     

    Time hasn't been kind to tags, though, and the serial numbers are difficult to read unless in the right light. They are consecutive, though, and the grain bookends nicely, like they should. Priced at $1,150, picked up in Mazomanie, WI. I'm not interested in a trade, meeting somewhere, or shipping these. Would be a dynamite road trip to the driftless region of Wisconsin. My apologies that this ad was originally posted in the alerts section. These are my speakers.
