Thanks! i think you got your answer in another thread, but X = 1982. All the info you need about serial numbers is here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see two individual sets of two-letters one set above the other. IOne set may have filled wuith wood puty prior to ethe sanduing of the rear edges in the sanding room...then that set of letters may be filled with wood putty or be much fainter to make out due to its having been sanded. That set or single letter will be the builder code The other set will normally have no putty in it, and will normally be more prominent in its depth. since it was stamped-into the edge after the sander was finished. If you see the letter "A" at all, then I built them! I was the only builder who had ever had "A" for a code up through about the 4th quarter of 1983, when I left Klipsch. If you can take pics of the letters there, I can probably also tell you who the sander was for those speakers! I was the primary builder of the birch plywood Heresy speakers AND all of the Cornwalls from late 1976 thru the time I left the company...so it is very highly likely that you will find the letter "A" on your speakers. If you do not, then they were built on a day I took off from work or was on vacation, most likely. For birch plywood Heresys, I often built solo...which means I had no helper...so you very well may find just a single letter "A" in stead of a pair of letters for the builder code. When working solo, I could often build 100 or more Heresy's in a day solo, but normally averaged upwards of 80 to around 100. With a helper, the daily tally would be between 100 and up to 140+ Heresys a day. Which kinda should tell you that having a helper wasn't really having much help for the time it took to build birch Heresys. The primary builder was always doing most of the work, if not all of it, since the helper tended to fall behind, and the primary builder had to help him(or her) get caught-up! When the Cornwall worktable wasn't in use, many more Heresys COULD HAVE BEEN BUILT in a day with two solo workers both building...but my suggestion for that was pretty much ignored by the cabinet-shop foreman! It is what it...was! Mine has an A. You built my speakers Heresy. I'm torn... I think I may need to sell them (having my first kid and we need the space). Curious what people's thoughts are letting go after years of owning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you live in a studio apartment you have room for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
