Oicu812 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The original owner purchased this pair of “export” Heresy, with labels denoting the model as Heresy E. According to the guy, he bought them at the Army Exchange in Germany circa 1977. They are HWO, with an ‘R’ for the date letter. I’ve only seen two small photos, but they look super clean. The badges look like these: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/KLIPSCH-LASER-BADGES-EMBLEMS-PAIR-KLIPSCHORN-LASCALA-CORNWALL-SPEAKERS-VINTAGE/192781246822?hash=item2ce2a86166:g:RK8AAOSwBMpcCUDY The asking price $380. Are they a good deal? I think I should jump on them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow#422 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 @Oicu812 Original laser badges alone run $80-100 per set (ish), that is, when you can find them. Knock offs &/or re-pops are available for less, but yes, follow @jimjimbo recommendation (if) their condition is as stated. What else can you buy new, that will perform at that level, with nice presentable cabinets for less than $400 / pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oicu812 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 @jimjimbo @Arrow#422 Mission accomplished. They will need a little cleaning up, rebuild the crossovers, a little tung oil, etc. The original owner confirmed that he bought these in Germany, the first thing his wife and he purchased for their new digs in country. @wvu80 Can you add this to your price tracking spreadsheet? Jim, I think these qualify for super clean status (provided you overlook the small amount of cat fur in the grilles...) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 If this is your only pair, I would say no. Find another pair to turn into Supers. Update the crossovers on these, clean them up and call it good… Enjoy! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are really rare, the only pair with E on them I've ever seen. They are super nice looking as well, I think you did good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 congrats to the OP there is really nothing rare to me about a set of 77 Heresys in Walnut Oil. i've seen plenty of them over the last 25 years with the E label if they were Brazillion Rosewood Laquer- Mahogany - Teak - Rosewood or even Cherry now that would be rare if you don't know the J and C stamped into the wood on the back are the first initials of the names of the 2 people who built them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
