KCMEA Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hello, I just purchased a pair of Hersey 1's and just realized they weren't sequential serial numbers (159Y082 & 150X784), does this matter? I was so excited about the purchase I forgot to check this as I was checking the general condition of the speakers. Overall they sound very good except for the slight different colour. I also opened up the back and they all have the same model drivers ,etc. Thanks. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sequential serial numbers don't mean a thing unless you are talking about matched veneers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCMEA Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hello, They are both HWO but I can see there is a slightly different shade of the walnut.. I was planning to sand it back and re-oil when I get a chance. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaDude Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Those are from two different years... X = 1982 and Y = 1983. The veneer is sure to be different. Could be some minor parts differences in the crossover... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCMEA Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks for that, the model numbers for the tweeters, horn, etc is the same but I assume it would be manufactured during different periods. I have been listening to the speakers every night and I love the sound. I am now thinking of upgrading/refreshing the crossover as from what I read on the forms this is a good idea.

Groomlakearea51 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 See: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/103886.aspx Remove the backs and check the drivers and the crossovers. The 82's should be K22, K55, K77 with a type E crossover. The 83 may, however, have K24, K53, K77 and a type E2 crossover if it's a very late 83.
