Hello,
I have been a long time reader of the forums, but have not posted before. I have a question on the Heresy II speakers. There are a pair that was listed on the local CL for $300. I went to look at them as the owner said they were in good shape but in his garage, which didn't excite me. Upon arrive to the garage, the speakers had large wall mounts screwed into the top of them, he had been using them in his bar for awhile. I know I could take those off but then would have 4 holes in the top of each speaker. The veneer seemed to be dried out or water had contact with the cabinets because they were starting to split at the bottom of the cabinets. I checked the back of these and they were made in an unfinished oak, and the owner had stained them. I also took off the grills and the woofer and horns were very very clean. The owner did mention that the tweeters had been replaced due to high volumes at the bar from some college kids.
My question is, in this condition are they really worth $300? I was thinking that they internals, woofers, tweeters, and mids might only be worth $150 if I would part them out. Also, they did not have the risers with them either. Thank you for any in put on these!
