wvu80 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 If all drivers work, that looks like a good deal. Heresy's in good condition go for $400 and up all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-js- Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) hello all. I'm a noob to Klipsch and would like some help, specifically on this pair of Heresies. I've been a member for a little while and mostly been a lurker & a reader. this pair, judging from previous info & posts above, seems too good to pass up checking out, especially since they are probably right in my backyard relatively speaking. so - what do I need to look & listen for? I've picked up to listen to all the drivers for anything unusual & check condition of the cabinets. they do look ok from the pics online. what else? thanks in advance. and btw - you guys are a very entertaining group. I've spent my share of time reading posts, how-to's & all that. edit: and as of now, they are still available. yay Edited June 16, 2016 by -js- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Do listen to them before buying, if at all possible. What do you listen to? Do you have other Klipsch? A lot of people who get Heresy for their first pair of Klipsch want more bass. These will be great for what they are designed for. Having said that, I bought another pair of Heresy today.

SilverSport Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Listen to them...do you like th sound???...how do the cabinets look???...those cabinets should be birch plywood or fir plywood painted black, and touch up can be done with black paint...1984 Heresys (not lls or llls) buy them...

A lot of people who get Heresy for their first pair of Klipsch want more bass. These will be great for what they are designed for. Having said that, I bought another pair of Heresy today. not even sure what their first use will be. could become 1st pair of external speakers of HT. all I'm using there now are the native TV speakers. they do pretty good. not sure if I can convince the GF to go for them as that. or I may add them either in addition to the R28-F's I have on my 2 ch system, or instead of them. honestly, I don't really know. if they pan out, it just seems like too good a deal to let pass, especially considering my desire to get into the Heritage lineup, and the fact that these are so close to home. on the 2 ch, we usually listen to classic rock. I do like my bass, and at times (not often... not often enough?) do like it loud. and I've read that they might be light in the bass dept. I'm thinking right now, that would be fine, all things above considered. Listen to them...do you like th sound???...how do the cabinets look???...those cabinets should be birch plywood or fir plywood painted black, and touch up can be done with black paint...buy them... Bill thanks to both of you guys for the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Heresys are a very balanced speaker with good bass it just won't thump like some like their music to do...I think they do better under Tube power but I have three Heresys across the front for my Outlaw Audio 1070 Home Theater...that pric is nice too... Bob Crites www.critesspeaker.com offers updates and upgrades you can do over time if it is required and his prices are fair when you compare what the speakers cost and what it would cost to replicate them... Good luck with your choice... Bill Edited June 17, 2016 by silversport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Put rags in the squawker horns to make it easier to confirm operation of the tweeters. If one or both tweeters are blown it will cost another $100 - $300 to remedy, depending on your handiness, budget and tastes. If you confirm A tweeter issue, use it as a negotiating tool. You can't go too far wrong at that price, or lower. Edited June 17, 2016 by DizRotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-js- Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 thanks for the advice folks. I went to have a look & listen Saturday, and brought them home . feel like I got a great deal on them. I am very happy, and seller seemed happy with our agreed price. she told me several others were interested; one from the Ga. not sure if that guy was driving over or not. I'm guessing he was. wow - quite a ways to come. anyway, I posted more here: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/164657-new-to-me-heresys/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
