gur_cmv Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 @JRH Hi, I have a pair of HI-SM bought from a thrift store in Spain. Serial numbers are 3051 and 3052. Any information on them will be apreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagjaguwar Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightbae Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 something is odd with the copper badges , are the 2 badges identical ? or different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Could have been for an employee, but with Stuttgart (Arkansas) on them, they're more likely for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightbae Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
