polo421 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Hello, I am actually posting this for my dad who purchased these speakers brand new in 1981. He is finally ready to downsize and moving in with us and ready to get rid of his "babies". He lives in the Houston Texas downtown area. If you have any questions, please let me know and I can get any details you need. Craigslist ad: https://houston.craigslist.org/ele/d/houston-vintage-klipsch-heresy-wood/7175819587.html 1980 Klipsch Heresy I Wood HBR 10" Inch Loud Speakers. Still sound amazing and work great. Consecutive serial numbers. Edited August 13, 2020 by polo421 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 What was spilled on the woofer? GLWS Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polo421 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 I asked my dad and he said he's not sure but the stain has been there since 1985 or so and has not had any effect on the speaker's sound or performance whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Reminds me of the guy in a bar who pulls out a tiny piano, puts it on the bar, and then places a 10” piano player at the piano. The bartender asks where he got them. The man tells him that a hard of hearing genie granted him one wish. OBTW, Heresys have a nominally 12” woofer. GLWS.

polo421 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 I just want to add that we are currently in Houston but moving to the Denver Colorado area by the middle of September. If anyone is in that area we could bring the speakers to you via the move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Welcome to the forum and how much were you looking to get? thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polo421 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 I have them posted at 999 but we are open. What do you guys seems like a fair price for both parties? Like it says, they sound excellent and look decent. Both were bought at the same time and have sequential serials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Difficult to price other people s audio gear. Usually that is sorted out before they are listed. Some ads list a price here with OBO, or best offer. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polo421 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 That makes sense. I'll probably change the price on the ad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madman1 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Yes, the wood. If they’ve never been stained that adds value, at least in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
