WillToy Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 So a lady at my church just gave me these speakers last week. I don't know much about klipsch, but seems like they might have some value.. I haven't hooked them up to anything yet, but they seem to be in really good shape cosmetically. Assuming they work, what do I have here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well, the "value" is up to you, as to whether you want to keep them or not, but, you got a couple of pretty cool speakers!! Considering their excellent cosmetics, personally I wouldn't hesitate having them inside my home. Hook them up, play a selection of different types of music at moderate levels, and see what you think. I have a feeling you're going to like them....let us know.

WillToy Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 I probably should have clarified a little better. I'm a musician.. she gave these to me with a shure mixer and both speakers came with stands to set them on. I would either use these for my acoustic shows, or sell them.

jimjimbo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If you decide to sell them, let me know, depending on your location....but again, I would hook them up and check them out. They look great, and I'm sure they've probably not been pushed very hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillToy Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Okay I will. I'm near Lexington, ky.. I'll hook them up tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) What you have there are Professional versions of Klipsch Heresy's with the fiberglass and aluminum trim from the 80's. The woofer is very stout and similar to those use for guitars which gives them higher power handling. The balance of the components are the same as a standard Heresy. The HIE network has some additional safety components in it. Best suited for PA use since the bass response rolls off quickly below 100Hz, they are very efficient and rugged. They would work well in a home setting with a very capable subwoofer. I have always wanted a pair.

Quiet_Hollow Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 So a lady at my church just gave me these speakers last week. Consider yourself blessed. Those are a very nice gift. Excellent condition to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillToy Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'm excited to get home and hook them up now. I DO happen to have a real nice sub with my current home system. I'll post this evening about how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillToy Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well, I got home and hooked them up and I must admit they sound amazing!! And that nice sub I mentioned I have just happens to be a klipsch t2a 250v.. sounds great with them. Also using a Polk audio center speaker with them. . Running it with an onkyo TX-sr504. I'm super impressed!! Not bad for someone just giving them to me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'm not sure the dollar value, but they are not as desirable to the general population because they are not home speakers, and would not fit in with the decor of most living rooms. My wife would kick me to the curb if I brought those home! That being said, there is a group who do like the industrial look, but it is a niche population. To be honest, I would think you would have the best chance of selling them on this website because there are people here who appreciate that cabinet style. I will also offer that selling to nearly any of the people who dwell here are a safe bet, meaning they are safe to do business with. And if you needed references, I bet they could provide them. I hate buying or selling on CL and Ebay because of the safety factor alone Trust is worth something, at least to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So….the ChurchLady gave these to you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 They would work excellent in a PA with guitar and vocals. Nice and easy setup to haul around, too. Welcome to the forums! Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Very nice! If you were closer to me I'd offer you $400 cash for them right now. Hopefully you keep them as they are hard to find if you're looking for them, especially in nice condition. Congrats on the score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillToy Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah, I'm gonna hook my sound board up to them tomorrow And see what some live music sounds like coming through them. I was super impressed with the sound today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Nice speakers, I wish my church lady would send some my way. If you intend on selling them after you figure it out let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
