You know, $600.00 is a bit steep but me loves me some Heresy 1s and 2s so you will really have to decide. Offer $525.00 and see where it takes you.

ricktate Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 They woud have to be in perfect condition for 600 Cory has some brand new Hersey III for I think 1200 which is better deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Yeah ... little "rough" for $600 ... maybe max $500 ... but what do I know; I buy "high" and sell "low." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 According to the Heritage Prices spreadsheet, the average price for H2's in Good condition is $448. The last five sales are 275 - 525 - 500 - 560 and 350. Not too many have come on the used market lately. The highest confirmed price I could find was $560, updated XO's, Crites mid-diaphragm in April 2019. +++ One thing that caught my attention in the ad was the "unfinished ash cabinets." The label indicates they are Birch Raw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a little rough. It looks like he beat them up with a motorcycle chain... There is a possible fix for the dents. You let some water soak into the dings, wipe it down, and then use an iron to make the absorbed water turn to steam. This technique is used constantly in the antique restoration field. The steam causes the wood to expand... -edit- I should have mentioned that you use a cloth between the iron and the wood to avoid scorching the veneer. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I sold my 1990 IIs in unfinished raw birch with titanium midrange and tweeter diaphragms and rebuilt crossovers for $450 a few months ago that were in much better condition than those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or take them at $600? John Kuthe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 They look like $300 speakers to me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzannucci Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Looks like pictures of two different speakers. First two nicely finished, damaged one doesn't look to be the same so better verify the drivers too. Don't like when people do that. Reduces my trust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I am not seeing what some of you guys are. They look to be in good shape other than that one corner of the "plywood" and a blemish or two. Unfinished birch raw is going to have a flat(not shiny) rough surface and will attract dust into it's woodgrain like a couple of the photos show.

Some changes from the original model 1's driver and crossover wise, I think. They were still sold as model 2's with the original plywood, or they had changed the innards and were still in transition from the ply to MDF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
