Cody_Mack Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This pair of Heresys has been up for a short while. They are not in bad shape for 1st Gen HBR, BUT, they have no grills! What you guys and gals think is the deduct for no grills? He has reduced the price to $390, think he started at $450 or more.

Ceptorman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 They look to be in great shape, you can always come up with grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Offer $350. Interesting that the cabinets look so different considering they are consecutive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I don't recall any of the Heresy's of that era having such shiny woofers. Wonder if they were changed out or something was put on them. Even the cone material doesn't look right. Reminds me of Carboneau woofers (think Rockford) and Pyle's "wet look" cone of the 80's except with pleated surround. At least in comparison to the bottom picture (not mine...borrowed from the web) Or Heresy 2 (not my pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MookieStl Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Could be Crites, ask to see under the hood (inside the cabinet)! It would be a good thing if it is Crites. My Hereseys are only one year older and the woofer looks like the ones avguytx posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I knew I'd seen those somewhere before. Similar in looks to the replacement KLF-30 woofers, too, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, if you feel it worth your time and the forum’s to post an alert, please include at least one photo, if possible, from the listing, and identify it as such. Otherwise, when the listing is eventually deleted, the thread becomes, all but, worthless. Perhaps @avguytx can confirm which, if any, photo(s) attached to his post is/are from the now deleted listing. If you disagree with the concept of attaching a photo to an alert, just don’t do it, but the absence diminishes the value of the post, IMO. YMMV 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody_Mack Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 The ad has been modified...check it out now. I texted him and asked him to identify the replacement woofer. He responded by revising the ad. Is that K-24-E woofer a direct replacement? The crossover looks original, with those box-looking capacitors. I remember replacing those in my 1983 pair. https://houston.craigslist.org/.../vintag.../6448334589.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt sure that one of the pics were of the ones for sale. After rereading his post, it makes sense, I just missed it. I agree with trying to attach a pic and a quote from the ad, especially from Craigslist. Some auction sites keep the pictures up for a while, but CL hides everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The first two pictures were from the ad. The other two were just from the web of other Heresy's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take the time to copy and paste a link, it's just as easy to right click and copy an image then paste it directly into the thread.

Jeez, lighten up, fellas...my OP was a question; what is the deduct for no grills? Y'all turned it into a debate about the woofers!
