based on the serial  # , you have 2 non-consecutive  serial numbers for klipsch speakers Made in 1981 at the klipsch  Hope Arkansas plant  ,  as for the model of the speakers , please  post a picture of the tags at the rear of the speakers , or write the information that you see .

These are 2 of 4 shipped to Spain on 5/20/80.  They must have never seen "professional" use, as they look to be pristine!

Indeed, they are! And the best thing is that they still sound great (with a pair of subs).

Thanks for the info 👍🏼

Hoping this is an ok place to ask this:

 

I have five Heresy III’s, two pairs of consecutive serial numbers and one oddball. The single speaker has a different serial number prefix than the other 4, and I’m wondering what it means. The two pairs have numbers beginning with “H3CHSRB”, while the single speaker is HIIICH+06010003.

 

H3 and CH I understand, but what’s the meaning of “SRB” vs “+” ?

SRB stands for Slanted Riser Base and that it came that way from the factory.  Does the single have a slanted riser?

Ahh, thanks! But yes, the “+” single does have the same slanted riser as the rest- aside from being a *significantly* lighter color veneer (more orange than the dark reddish brown of the others), the only difference I’ve noticed on the single is the size of the metal/magnet grille attachment points on the motor board. On the single those are almost dime sized and flat, while the pairs have what look like small torx screw heads.

Long road trip but worth it.  They look signed by Paul W Klipsch.  Can someone tell the story by the label?  A Facebook forum called these possibly “employee speakers.”  These were still sealed in their boxes.

If I were you I’d very carefully put them back in their boxes and seal them back up!

Here is a picture of the badges side by side.  They do have a slight variance in color.  I have set the speakers up in my office and they sound incredible.

I’m looking at a single Heresy. Figured out the serial number info, but type says “TH-SR”. Anybody know what that is? Guessing the “T” may indicate theater, and I know the “R” is raw, but no idea what the “S” is…maybe “stained” as it is black.

SR stands for Slanted Riser.  Post a pic of the tag if you can.  Not sure on the TH.
