Selling THREE Klipsch Heresy HIP speakers for $700. Located in Fairfax, VA.
These were purchased from a small college that was renovating its auditorium. One pair has consecutive serial numbers; the third speaker was also part of a consecutive serial pair ordered at the same time by the college. I used these in our 5.1 HT system along with Cornwall mains, but we no longer have the space in our new home.
K-77 horn tweeter
K-55 midrange driver on K-700 horn
K-42-E woofer with seriously heavy magnet
These HIP speakers were custom-ordered ordered with Klipsch's 7-ply Baltic Birch cabinets and fitted with heavy-duty grill cloth. The cabinets were stained by the college (poorly), and have plenty of nicks and scratches but are fully intact.

How much are you asking for the Yamaha A-500 integrated amp?

Those look to be satellites from the Klipsch HD 300 or HD 500 home theater in a box systems.
They are of decent quality but not overwhelming. They are also intended to be used with a subwoofer and may be (are) very bass shy.
Might work for desktop monitor. Hope this helps.
Many thanks. That might explain why there isn't a label or other identifier.

Sorry to ask, but I can't get any info on the model of these speakers listed for sale online.
If you know what they are, are they any good? What's a reasonable asking price? Checking out for a friend who's looking for small-ish monitors for desktop audio, and who might pair with a sub.
Thanks!

Hmm. I know the first version of the CF-1 and CF-2 had to be redone because the speakers and the cabinets were not well matched. I'd stay well away and look for a pair of Cornwalls for a little more or save some money and buy Forté I instead.

Wow that's high compared to my area. Can't imagine what La Scalas or Klipschorns go for in Seattle.
It can often be a wide range. I've seen La Scala's go for $800-$1700/pair and Khorns for $2250-$3500. On the right day, there are bargains.

Looks like a nice CBR pair in good condition:

Two 1950s Khorns with different specs being sold together for $3000. Is it me or is that price pretty high?

No affiliation, just thought it was a curious ad and wanted to share.

Looks like it's in great cosmetic shape!
-
The price is now $250 and looks like 5-way binding posts were added.
Might be a great deal, depending on how they sound...

Looks like a serious bargain if you're in driving distance:

LOL. What would it cost to put proper mid-range horns in that puppy?

Excellent write-up! You could hardly ask for better.
Will reprints be available as PDF for fans? Press?

He nodded the tweeters, but ran out of money and didn't replace the reentrant mid horn, which is markedly bad.
Nodded the tweeters? Can you explain?

Great-looking cabinets but the driver combination is a bit unusual. Any thoughts?

I don't get it. Is it the price that makes them shameful? My three HIPs won't win any beauty contests, but the sound was well worth it.

At that price, I don't care how ugly they look; I'd find room for them even if it meant the wife has to sleep outside!
To put that in perspective, you should probably post a pic of your wife....

Don't we have a forum member from the Washington area looking for LS? Maybe looking for Chorus II's? I'm not sure off hand.
That might be me. Now that I have Forté I in 2-channel, I'm set for the time being; plus the wife does NOT accept La Scala's.

Too weird for me, certainly at that price:

Here is a link to the specs. It's a web archive page, because Klipsch deleted most of the information for their discontinued models, during a website upgrade... and never put them back.
Your current Denon will work just fine. Hook them up and enjoy...
https://web.archive.org/web/20111118074834/http://www.klipsch.com/kg-5-2
Do you have other links to specs from the archive? Seems like you have to know the Wayback Machine URL in order to find these...

Not that this thread is alive any longer...but...I have learned a few things about the Epic line over the past 21 years of having owned them.
If you still have them get them off the ground - at least 8" or more for a CF-2. If you can get them out of a corner that helps as well. There are so many other things that impact sound that it might not be the speaker but where it is located.
Would you qualify that statement, depending on when manufactured? I understand first-run CF-2s were built differently...
