MC39693 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 @JRH my 1984's warranty card says 5 years. I like the 1980 warranty card! I will speak with the "boss" and see if there's any reason she wants me to keep the 1980's. It would be fun to have all the documentation I received together in one place and perhaps for you to have it together with the pictures and story above? If anyone asks, I'll just say Jim has it. I'll get back to you via this thread but I don't see why we wouldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan-bc Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) IIRC, in Canada around this time, Klipsch were distributed by Superior Electronics in Montreal, who also distributed Nikko, Nakamichi and a few other brands. And, as I recall, Superior DID offer a lifetime warrantee on Klipsch. I suspect your warrantee card is from Superior, the bilingual French being an additional giveaway.

Very cool to "meet" the builder of these most wonderful audio devices. Thank you for the obvious care you put into building them!

Great to see your posts, sir! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldsonp Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hi ...I just purchased my first Klipsch speakers . They are Heresy 1 I think. The 3 digit serial number has got me curious as all the other serial numbers seem a lot longer. I can't find any other serial numbers apart from the ones on the drivers . The serial numbers on the label on back panel say 061 only . I can't see an option to post a pic from my gallery . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldsonp Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 so the number is meant to be here ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, unless it’s a model that’s close to when they transitioned to the Heresy II in 1985. Yours are very likely a 1984 pair that are sometimes referred to as Heresy 1.5 since they have some components of the Heresy I and II. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 klipsch stopped punching the serial no around 1983 , your Heresy 1 speakers could be made in 1983 or 1984 the serial nos are 061 / 059 ,are not consecutive but very close .....basically you own the 59th and 61st Heresy1--from 1983 ,or 1984 only way to find out if you own a 1983 or 1984 is by looking at the drivers , let's start by removing the rear access panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still sound great, especially after I replaced the caps in 2006. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
