I picked up this real cool 1958 mini model H 8( Heresy) on ebay .

It has a university 8" bass driver , University SAHF mid and a EV t35 tweeter.

The SAHF has a shortend magnet cover.

I never knew they made one like this size.

Anyone ever hear one or even seen one?

I'll hook it up tomorow as a center to try iy out.

seller thought the trim / grill was added but after reading my old brouchers I found the R in the model number

stands for raw finsh but with trim ,a U would have ment undressed.

H P 8 (prima vera finish) s/n 101 (the first made) from the Audio Museum in Hope.

I have hundreds of images from the Museum I took Spring 2009 during a personal pilgrimage to Hope. I'll always kick myself for not hooking up a few of the pieces and blowing the dust off of them.

Your H R 8 has the same grille as found on the museum's Shorthorn T style (television stand model). Check the Wallpapers section of the Website for photos of early Klipsch grille fabrics. Yours looks totally stock to me, from the same era 1958 would be correct. Congratulations on a very rare find indeed. Now get that wine bottle offa there! [;)]

I only posted because you are such a serious collector. (anyone from Tech Support bother to show up yet?)
