Thank you! I’ll post back how it goes.

Sorry for the repeat post. billybob, I really appreciate your input. That’s exactly what I needed for a starting point. Looking at eBay the Heresy’s are all over the place. Many are around $1500, but you can’t go by what someone is asking, only by sales, of course. marvel, I noticed the date on the round terminals of my HIIs is 1985. My records say I paid for them in Oct 1986, so who knows? I do know I’ve had some almost surreal moments listening to them over the years. All kinds of music. The stereo shop put Sade Smooth Operator on when I listened to them and I’d never heard speakers sound so good. Of course, he probably had them wired to $4000 amps in the shop! My friends all loved them and we had some good times together. As I’m sure you probably have with yours. Enjoy!

Thanks for all your input. Yes, the stands/risers are about 3” in front and an inch on the back. Just designed to aim the sound upward, rather than across the floor, I’d guess. I took a couple pics of the top right on both cabinets. I’m not seeing any blemishes, but not sure exactly what you are seeing in the first pics. Edges are sharp looking to me. I’ll keep looking to see if I saved the original crossovers. Very surprising, but I do understand the value in “original”, so thanks for the advice.

Thanks for your response, billybob. Here are a few pics of the Heresy’s. I could only upload 3 due to file size, but can send more if needed. I’ll have to look for the original crossovers to see if I kept them. I ordered the speakers with matching birch stands so they are original and match the cabinets perfectly. I’m not too far from Asheville, NC. Regards

Hi. I’m new to the forum and hoping someone can help me with a real world value on a pair of Heresy II’s. I ordered them new from Klipsch through a stereo shop in 1986 so they are one owner and in great condition. They are birch with the corresponding tan bamboo grills. A few years ago I got in touch with Bob Crites (I learned about him through reading the forum over the years) and he built new crossovers for the speakers, which I installed. I just received new titanium diaphragms from Crites.com (Bobs son?) but have not installed those, yet. They come with original stands and badges. Any ideas on value? I am downsizing and want these to go to a good home. Thank you!
