harmony08 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Klipsch cinema series chrs Heresy speakers ....saw these in a speaker repair shop today for $450 I can't find any information about them. I was told that they are used for commercial purposes....a picture? All I know is that they look like the Heresy II in black - with risers. If I didn't buy them they are going on EBAY soon. Non of these to be found on EBAY. I would appreciate any thoughts. harmony08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusaDude Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I know of these two... http://www.klipsch.com/kp-201/details http://www.klipsch.com/kp-250/details I believe there is also a "Heresy Stage Monitor" which has a slanted back. And as Budman mentioned, I think there is a two-way pro version as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmony08 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 thanks for the responses. I remember also being told that these are almost identical to the heresy except the tweeter is different. For a smaller room, these might be a bit much for me if they are for commercial purposes...and maybe too steep in price (?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, if it was the KP-250's and they were in very good condition, I think the price is very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I own the KP-250's and they sound awesome. Much more detailed sound than my Heresy Gen 1's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 No, there was a TH version of a Heresy, early surround speaker only had the woofer and mid. This was before the X-curve crossover, so not sure the frequency response of the speaker. I'd imagine PWK just let the mid driver run out and fall off naturally. Other Heresy sized pro boxes include HIP, HI, dang there was another one I owned one of and I forget the name now HP-1 maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Heresy sized pro boxes include HIP, HI, dang there was another one I owned one of and I forget the name now HP-1 maybe. here is what they look like A O.K., those are obviously 2 way, and probably wouldn't be considered full range. Does anyone know when they were made? When I was very young, I used to haunt CinemaScope equipped theaters. They typically had surround speakers around the sides, and across the back. In Fox West Coast theaters, the small surrounds that were low enough to peer through the grille of often had JBL D130 speakers -- 1 way, "extended range" 15 " speakers -- with a bright aluminum cap in the center, and no tweeter. They were fine speakers, but had very rolled off treble. Perhaps that's what they wanted for surounds in those days. Across the bay in San Francisco, there was a 70 mm Todd-AO theater equipped by Ampex & JBL under contract to Todd-AO/Magna. That theater had relatively huge surrounds; they looked like they were JBL C40s, or the indusrial/cinema equivalents. They sure sounded like they had good response, i.e., were "full" range. The 2 way Klipsch speakers shown may fall part way between the two described above in frequency response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting the photo. it is a Heresy 2 way for theater surround use, 7Khz roll-off. , badges at the back would say HERESY - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
