Thanks for the input, just what i needed to know. It seems that heritage speakers don't show up as often as i would like here in BC. Lot's over in Ontario but that's to far away. I don't mind the cruise into Washington if i have the time.

From a project perspective, the finish is not overly concerning as i'd like to re-veneer and restore. The part that is some what of a killer for me is the missing papers on the back and one emblem on the grill is missing. (I've seen these on ebay though) How hard is it to strip the duratex off without ruining the MDF? I guess the alternative is build new cabinets out of birch and swap over the drivers, since the papers are missing anyway. $300 for drivers and throw away cabinets starts to add up the project total.

hmmmm maybe i should take a road trip/take the wife for a few day "vacation".

I was able to obtain a few additional photo's from the seller. Looks as the exterior is painted finish instead of veneer, was that an option with this series? Unfortunately it sounds like the paper identification tags are missing on both. Crossover's are original as well as drivers. Looks like someone was a little glue happy with the dust caps. Thoughts?

The image makes me feel tingly inside. Wish i were closer, i'd grab a pair or two for the shop.

Sounds averaged price than with the difference between CAN + US funds. I've never had the chance to listen to the KG series.. are they worth the $300 to restore x-overs etc..?

Not affiliated Looks like bases and paper showing serial number is missing but original owner of 30 years. Firm on $300.... thoughts on price? https://abbotsford.craigslist.ca/msg/6259215358.html

There is a button on the bottom left of the website to change to the English site. The company logo doesn't even match the above add.

No affiliation but these look raw!! Wish I was closer to Texas, I'd try negotiating a sale. http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649341685-klipsch-heresy-speakers-hbr-with-risers-unfinished-birch/ Can anyone advise what a good condition with working components set of OG Heresy's like the above sells for on average? this price fair?

You're supposed to hook these up without an amplifier.

Without dyslexia, the bill starts to add up on 18 hour round trip. The impulse buy hasn't fully sank in but if the were splits I'd be getting antsy.

Now we're talkin! I might have to roll down across the boarder to snipe these.

Nice! those look great. Do you use them in your house on a regular basis or out on the road?

Thanks for info Jim, i will post photos as i move forward with a build! Any idea where the cross over frequency is set for each driver?

My plan is to completely strip these down and re-finish them, so cosmetic appearance is not to much of a concern to me. I have family nearby that can go check these out for me to look for signs of delam or bubbles from water damage but everything appears intact. let me know your thoughts!

I have found a set of the la Scala industrials with the separated horns cabinets not to far from home. Might be worth the 14 hour round trip.. I've been looking for awhile now. Sounds like they have been used for DJing most their life. The father purchased them 30 years ago and had been handed down to his son, who also did mobile DJ. Seller says when played louder, one horn crackles and one 15" doesn't put out as hard as the other. Could this be a diaphragm on the horn and capacitor on the crossover circuitry causing the LF to be quieter? Anyone able to give some input on the going rate of value for this type of la Scala is? Obvious signs of packing it around to events and tired drivers needing some TLC. All boxes seem to be well protected from having the rigid metal trim so I am assuming condition at this point is just visual scuffs. The asking price is $500CAD I priced out manufacturing my own Baltic birch boxes but it was well into the $600CAD price tag just for wood.

Is this model worth rebuilding? I've never heard them before.

It looks like the front drivers don't match, were some years released with different types?

Long drive to Missouri from BC for me otherwise I'd be all up on this!

Working or Not... Except the pair left out in the rain I've seen circling... I am looking for a project! Preferably looking for boxes with bad drivers or repairs needing to be made. Located in the Okanagan BC but will travel in BC/Alberta or Washington/Idaho/Oregon for pick up. Will consider shipping to a shipping receiving company in Oroville Washington if boxes have bad drivers removed to save weight. I have considered fabricating my own boxes but I would like to have the original Klipsch inspection tags present for value reasons.

I had inquired about these last week as they are not to far away but the guy is firm $1500.00. I just barfed and swallowed.
