ZEUS121996 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) I need to sell off a few pieces so I'm going to start with my 1977 Heresy Slant Stage monitors. They are decorators in lacquered raw birch, good condition with the previous owner having done some small bondo repairs. When I opened them, they looked brand new. Everything is original, IDK if I would recap them, they sound great as they are. I'll be sending them Fedx ground or you can pick them up here, just north of Chicago. Asking $500 plus shipping. Next up will be my RB-5s in Mahogany, probably followed by a single Belle. TY Mark Edited June 2, 2016 by ZEUS121996 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Those look REALLY nice Mark. You should have no problem selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks Carl, I think it's a fair price, I just need to move some gear out. BTW, I think your son in law is going to like the Forte 2s, the seller doesn't oil any of his speakers, he said buyers prefer them flat. Post some pics when you get them oiled, they should be awesome Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Sorry to thread crap but it gives you a bump. He came over this weekend so we could see if the Fortes fit in my car and it's a go. If not, I would have had to take my daughters Jeep. Momma said I wasn't taking her SUV which had plenty of room.

ZEUS121996 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Eth They came out of NYC, you should have bought them then, it would have saved both of us a chunk of change on shipping Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlarwa Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Mark (or anyone else), A couple questions (my brain is working away ...). And by the way, I live in Lake Geneva, so I'm "local". I've been looking for a pair of Heresy's to run with my subs, as my "rock and roll" speakers. My main speakers are Omega A8's (single-driver ... image like crazy). I sold my Forte II's 6 months ago due to a lack of real estate in my listening room, and I miss having a pair of Klipsch to crank out the Zep and Floyd to. Anyway, I assume these are meant to be tight to the corner, like a Khorn? The corners of the front wall of my listening room are taken up by superchunk bass traps which run floor to celing, but I'm thinking I could mount these at ear level, with the bass traps above and below them. A pic of the front wall of my room is attached so you can see what I'm talking about. Any comments on how this would work? What are the dimensions of the cabinets? I'd like to see how they's protrude from the corners in comparison to the bass traps. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 They're angled to be laid on their sides and pointed up at the performer on stage. They can certainly be used vertically and do not need to be in a corner by design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlarwa Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Huh ... I never even considered that they were monitors in that sense. They look like baby Khorns, and that's exactly where my mind went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaman Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have my slant monitors set standing up. I don't think there is a way they don't sound good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 You would need to add a sub to any Heresy. I have a SW-10 in black that is perfect if you're interested. There, I crapped in my own thread Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hahaha...I have a pair of 10 inch subs with my Heresies. Sounds perfect to round out the fantastic sounds of these great speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 100 bucks and I'll pick them up at Walmart..... Which WM? By the Horshoe Casino or the one in Lansing. I won't tell people how you had me running around Indiana and Illinois looking for the WM you were at. But it was a fiasco AND Carl, I hold you responsible, you owe me a double double martini at the next gathering in April 2017 :D Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
