flatgrass Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I have a couple set of speakers that have been sitting on the shelf for a good six years now. I just need to pass them along so I can address some other things I would like to do. The heresy are 1976. When I go them they were unfinished and within the first few months I used then I had a voice coil go out on a woofer. I replaced both woofers with new K24-E from Klipsch. They have K55-V solder connect mids and K77-M square magnet tweets. Around the time I put the new woofers in I replaced the caps with AudioCap Thetas. This was all around 2012. I also had them re-veenered with ribbon cut mahogany. I also have magnetic grills for them, and two pie badges that could probably use a touch up on the adhesive. The kg1s are bone stock. They are walnut, which was one reason I got them. Back in the day I though they were going to be my rears for a "heritage" 5.1 but things changed over the years and I ended up going reference series. Both are in what I considered very, very good cosmetic shape. I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find some imperfection, but that is looking very hard. These are located in Washington, DC. Capitol Hill area. Be glad to hook them up if you stop by. I would like to sell both sets together. I am ready to eat sunk costs. $500 takes both pair. I have the original box for the kgs, and very well made boxes for the heresy(s). OR, would trade them for a cherry RC-7. I have more pictures but didn't downsize them all. Send an PM and we can go to email if you want more. Thanks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkalsi Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I'm ten mins away - but fighting hard to not make any more audio purchases. This is very tempting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I’d like to buy both pairs for a friend. Please PM me for shipping fees. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price he probably won't have any need to ship. More than likely, he'll be turning buyers away from his door. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatgrass Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 For those asking about shipping, not sure the cost would be worth it. A quick estimate on FedEx. 26" x 20" x 18" at 50# from 20002 to 90713 is $110. To 32407 is $70 There would be two of these and the kg box would be slightly smaller. In my opinion, kinda defeats the purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood. I appreciate you calling and getting back to me. I agree on what you said here. Beautiful speakers! I would have bought them in second if local....

angusruler Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 This probably sounds silly......but what the hell! Any interest in a professionally of chorus 2's? Beautiful heresys btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatgrass Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Angus -- Just don't think I could fit them in. My listening area is a basement room roughly 12' x 14'. The kicker is the ceiling is 7'. Since 2014 I have been "downsizing" to provide a better balance between equipment size and ability to move around the room. Got rid of Belles and moved to RB-75s which fill the room pretty well. Built a console because I had had a hodgepodge of racks and stands. My latest wild hair is to try and see if I can get a pair of RC-7 and have Dean adjust to the networks to use as front mains. Just to see the difference between them and the 75s. I have one RC-7 now as my center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finallygotmyheresies Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I am also in search of a Cherry RC-7. I’ve chatted with this guy but he cannot confirm if this is cherry and he cannot get better pictures which is why I am not pursuing this speaker. Maybe you’d have better luck with him. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9g45b-klipsch-rc-7-home-theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 That's cherry.. they came in black, cherry, and maple and they're very distinct colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatgrass Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 I suspect a 2.5 month bump is not being too obnoxious. Anyway, still looking to move some things. If speakers alone are not catching anyone's interest for purchase or trade, maybe a close to turnkey system. Just add digital files/streaming source. How about the set of heresey, a 5 wpc tube amp, and a DAC? $600 pick up. Have a Glow Audio One and their associated DAC. I got this back when I still had sensitive speakers, and it is real nice. Very low hours. Quiet, firm bass, and smooth highs. I really enjoyed the solid sweet spot it can generate. It is a single ended pentode running EL-84s. I have some general Sovtek in right now. It is ver. 1.3 so it has two inputs. Glad to audition. Boxes for everything. Have an itch to try some different items, plus could stand to send one amp out for preventive maintenance.

ClaudeJ1 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I might be headed to DC in a few weeks by car, so I would consider this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatgrass Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Claude -- come on down. Will be out of town 4-8 December. Other than that, will be around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatgrass Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 The heresy(s) are on the way to North Carolina with a forum member. He actually left a cherry RC-7 as a departing gift. What a country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
