finallygotmyheresies Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Haven’t heard of this version before. No grills and no finish, not worth close to $800 imo https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649475295-klipsch-heresy-h3-hiii/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Wow, those are really odd. Price is right to finish in black I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Actually seems like a good buy for someone with some painting/staining skill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Not a good buy. You can prolly get from Cory close to the same BRAND NEW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Had no clue you could come close to that price for new Heresy III. I have purchased quite a few RP Series speakers from Cory but never any of the Heritage lineup. Good to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirachi Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I feel like that isn't true at all. H3 are 1k new and this is 800 for a pair 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I won't say what he will do for a Finished version with no risers BRAND NEW, but it is close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 How about a textured black version WITH risers? Also close. I guess you'll just have to call him yourself and find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Good deal, either way if you ask me. Might even be a little fun project. Can we all settle on realistic price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 HIII Raw-- One Button? Never seen that description before.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I'm guessing the "One Button" might be some type of error message generated by not having anything entered after "Raw"? All other H III labels I've seen have something listed after the cabinet finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abag Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I believe these are the ones made for Chipotle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oztayls Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Our 2 pairs of Heresy III "One Buttons" are on their way to Australia and should be here within a few days! I could not resist the bargain price of these. They come in raw, unfinished Ash book-matched veneer which is just perfect for me as want to finish them myself. They also don't have grills, badges or stands, but I've made countless grills and still have the patterns for the angled risers I made from Tasmanian Oak (similar to Ash) for our Heresy 1.5s. The price paid per pair, including shipping, GST and import taxes was still less than a third of the retail price over here (AUD6000 or about USD4300), so I'm happy that the excise worked out OK and a few minor omissions are no concern. More challenging is finding suitable speaker cloth over here. We're after cloth that will complement our soft furnishings. Best I can describe it is a beige or off white/cream so will likely have to import that as well. What I need to know from anyone who has changed their speaker cloth to a light colour, is what this will look like over the top of the black faced Heresy's? Does the black motorboard show through a light coloured grill cloth? I've put new caps into our lightly restored 1985 model 1.5s (E2 x-over), so we are looking forward to comparing them side by side. We like our 1.5s very much. The intention is to put one pair into our main listening/living room and another in the media/TV room and possibly sell the other pair. One thing we both noticed is that the III's are not as pretty as the I's. The I's have the speakers fixed from the back of the motorboard so they have a much cleaner look. Why did Klipsch change this?! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oztayls Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) The first of our raw ash "One Buttons" has arrived safely, separated by the shipper to help defray some of the import costs. Notable differences between it and the 1.5s are the front mounted speakers, bi-wirable crossovers and gold speaker connections. Inside, the sides have a loose fitting foam damping whereas the 1.5 has none. As yet, we have not set them up for a serious comparison. Propped up on champagne corks for now! Has anyone removed the foam and what effect did this have? Edited January 31, 2019 by Oztayls 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's there to help the woofer work more efficiently and also to reduce reflected sound waves inside the cabinet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
