Nick_Si Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 SO this speaker is for auction locally and I have been searching around for information on it. It looks like a Heresey but has no grill and the Klipsch emblem is throwing me off. Only thing i can think of is its is a venue model or something? That is the only picture, do any of you know what this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Looks like a Heresy I. Not likely to be an industrial - though I'm not sure it's of the main flavor that was marketed widely. But it is of the Heresy family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Can you get a picture of the label on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 To me, it looks like a Heresy Decorator model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) welcome to the forum and yes they look to be factory klipsch speakers the back label probably says HD-BB for Heresy Decorator Birch Black with the letters P-R or S in the serial number from the klipsch laser logo which stands for 1976-77 or 78 i'm betting its an R in the serial number for 1977 is the auction for 1 speaker or a pair ????

Nick_Si Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Can you get a picture of the label on the back? I am going to try and see the speakers in person this week if I can so I will report back with additional pictures welcome to the forum and yes they look to be factory klipsch speakers the back label probably says HD-BB for Heresy Decorator Birch Black with the letters P-R or S in the serial number from the klipsch laser logo which stands for 1976-77 or 78 i'm betting its an R in the serial number for 1977 is the auction for 1 speaker or a pair ???? I sure hope it is for a pair, and that time period makes sense as there is a really cool set of Kenwood Mono blocks and preamp which are dated to 1978 in the same lot... It would be a shame if they were to be separated... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_Si Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 OK so update. There are two speakers but the other one not pictured has a totally rotten woofer. The cone is all but gone, i can only assume the coil is shot but the basket and the magnet look original so maybe someone can fix it. You were correct about the serial number it is HD BB and there is an R in the number see below. I am going to pass on this set. They had the one playing and I am not sure i heard any noise coming from the tweeter but it was hard to tell with background noise and the signal coming from a fuzzy radio... The auction is in Ithaca NY incase anyone else is interested and close by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
