RSorb Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I've got a pair of Heresy speakers that I bought between 1983 and 1985 while in the Air Force and stationed in Europe. I've attached pics of the labels on the back of the speakers... can anyone tell me when they were manufactured, etc? Thanks, RSorb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 X codes shipped in 1982. Paper logbook entries end a few thousand Heresy's before this one, so "late 1982" is the best I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDBRbuilder Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I was highly likely the builder of both of these HBR speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or moe of those initials will also be stamped in deeper, and those are the initials of the sander of the speaker cabinet. They really AREN'T stamped in "deeper" but were stamped in after the sander finished sanding the speaker...which makes them APPEAR to have been stamped in deeper. The builder code letters were often filled in with wood putty prior to sanding the rear edges, and then sanded down so much that they are difficult to discern....so look hard to find them.

But the initials are a D and a K. Its possible the D may be a O as it is stamped super deep on both speakers and kinda hard to make out. I wonder if anyone will see this post as its 6 months late!!
