Hi! I'm new here, but I'm glad to have stumbled across this. I recently got back into 2 channel listening when my folks bought me a new turntable to replace mine that had died years ago. I had an old simple Sony setup that now lives in my shop. I've wanted Heresy's for years, but they always eluded me. I picked up a cool little setup with a Pioneer SA-5200 and a pair of Infinity Qa's to get me by while I kept looking. Finally this summer, I found a pair. He wanted a lot for them, but I kept an eye on them and asked a few questions. The already had the titanium Crites upgrades and new Crites crossovers, he dropped the price, and I drove from small town South Dakota to Minneapolis and got them. The serial numbers match, 1978's, HD-BR. I read the HD-BRs didn't come with grills and as a result, didn't have the front baffle. I don't know when mine were augmented, but they have a "bullnose" or a quarter round installed on the front and a grill in a color I've never seen on another set of Heresy's. The thing is, I also got the original boxes from the guy I purchased them from (He bought them from the original owner, but didn't have answers for my endless amount of questions). The boxes show a fabric type, so am I to assume maybe that they were custom from the factory? Anyway, I absolutely love these things and they were great with my little 10wpc Pioneer until this week when I picked up a Cambridge Audio CXA81. HOLY COW! What a difference!!
