    Selling for my uncle who has owned them since 1977.  Serial numbers 1101 and 1102

     

    Silver edges are little scratched up but they work perfectly and sound phenomenal.  Always stored inside and powered with high end amps.

     

    willing to meet within the tri-state area

     

    looking for $1k for the pair

     

     Cheers!!

    Err, I'd be a bit hesitant to use a magic eraser.  Those aluminum edgings are known to have a very thin layer of anodizing, which can be polished away.  I tried a magic eraser, official Mr. Clean brand, to remove a stain on a wall.  I soon had to stop, because it was removing the paint.  Those Magic Erasers are very effective, but you have to be careful what you use them on.

     

    I'm just suggesting that you ask around and do a bit more research before doing anything to the edging.  Those are rare speakers, so you want to be careful that you don't do anything to compromise their value.  Maybe just try water and dish soap first, being careful not to wet the rest of the cabinets.

     

    Hmm, re-reading your post, I see that they have scratches, not the stains that I first thought they had.  In that case, it's up to you to decide whether you want to remove the edging, have it buffed clean, and maybe ask about re-anodizing, because although aluminum does not rust (only iron/steel rusts), it can corrode pretty quickly, going dull within hours after polishing.  This means that it needs some kind of surface treatment to protect it.  Anodizing is one way, but clear lacquer is another option, ideally applied by a shop painter who knows what he's doing.

     

    Also see what other Forum members suggest/recommend.  Meanwhile, how do they sound?  Are you enjoying them?

    The mids and highs are crazy good.  The lows are good, but it doesn’t get punchy til I turn it up pretty loud.  They are honestly way, WAY too much speaker for my little house.  I’m not sure what to do with them.  My uncle had a Carvin PA1200 powering them and he had dialed in with a microverb 3 to match the type of music (hall, echo, other effects) he was playing and used some JBL EON15’s for the lows.  He was a crazy audiophile.

    Please help me identify these speakers

    Those Heresy Industrials are very sensitive/efficient, so they’ll play fairly loud with just 5 watts, but they’ll sound better with more power.  I think the spec for max power is 100 watts, but if you use some common sense with the volume control, like turn it down if they start to sound strange or make funny noises, you can use even more power safely.


    I inherited these along with a BUNCH of Carvin PAs and Carvin amps and mixers and I’m trying to figure out how to safely power them
