Grateful Al Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Looking for a pair of lovingly used full range floorstanding mains to compliment my current configuration: RC 52-II center stage and RB 61-II rears. Running 105 watts x 5 channels via Yamaha Rx-V476 home theater receiver. The current movie I'm playing in my head involves a pair of either Heresys or Cornwalls in good condition and a sub or subwoofer pair that will fill a rather large listening room with sliders that open to a pool and patio. Music I'm listening to today is PERFECT for those period Klipsch boxes... Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter, John Lee Hooker, Drive-By Truckers, Diana Krall (she rocks any- and everything), Scott Miller & the Commonwealth, Webb Wilder, etc. I'm in the 727 area code, 34684. Prefer local items but will travel up to ?? for the right deal. Holla! -Bill Edited April 11, 2015 by Grateful Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted April 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 12, 2015 I LOVE THIS FORUM! It was nice talking to you Bill. I look forward to having you over next Saturday. I think you will enjoy the LaScala Trio. This is by far the best online community I have ever been a part of. Glad to have met several of these guys. We share a unique "brotherhood". Go get these or I just may get them myself. Bill said they sold yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 a guy once told me he got a pair of Heresies mint for 25$ at a charity sale - he sold them back for 100$ not knowing that they were that good , he regrets it everyday , you cant buy a badge for 25$ - easy come easy go - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grateful Al Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 SCORE! Snatched this 1987 Heresy II pair with stands and risers on feeBay just over an hour from home. Now all I need is some random sub plucked from Youthman's sound emporium, just anything the Brother's not using. Thanks, all, for the welcoming ideas, comments, suggestions, leads, and good vibrations. Bill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted April 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 12, 2015 Congrats Bill. You even get some cool looking stands with them too. I know you don't know me but hopefully my reputation over the past 11,127 posts can vouch for my integrity. If you would like for me to pick them up for you early next week, give me a call. We can check them out with the RSW-12. If you would rather pick them up yourself, I totally understand. Just offering to help a new forum brother out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Great score. They look fantastic. I'm into DIY, so I'd build a tapped horn sub, or two, to augment the Heresy pair. YMMV Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grateful Al Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 MERCY, these Heresy IIs and the seller exceeded my expectations in every way. I could not be happier. Setting up now, and planning an initial playlist of varying degrees from crunchy to sweet. Stand by for a full report. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grateful Al Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 I've run these Heresys through their paces with a wide variety of media and musical styles. The speakers present a remarkably detailed three-dimensional sound stage. In the classical composition Celestial Gate with the Orchestra of Flanders, I clearly hear clarinet valve clicking and other fine details. In Tom Petty's 'Breakdown,' the tube amp mildly distorted crunchy lead guitar was perfectly balanced by the silky smooth rhythm background and quick, punchy bass and kick drum. More will be revealed. I am in heaven. Thanks, Jim, for the magnificent deal and wonderfully friendly exchange. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Bill, Congrats on your new toys. I love my HII's(and HI's) and can't see myself ever parting with either. Enjoy. Bill Edited April 12, 2015 by willland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
