MeloManiac Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Now that the Heresy 4 has been available for a while (and its price has slightly dropped), I've come to find a site (in Europe) where they sell the Heresy 3 at reduced price (around 780 euro per unit). It's the black, matte version. I'm mildly interested, but I wonder why they are being sold per unit, and of course, when you buy them, they will not have consecutive serial numbers. Any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Price is low because of a newer model release and non consecutive serial numbers. With that in mind, several US sites list klipsch speakers per unit but still offer consecutive serial numbers. It might be smart to ask the question to the dealer.

Schu Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Sequential numbering IS NOT important except in terms of aesthetically on the finishes where you can actually see the veneer wood grain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panelhead Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The mass wholesalers take a shipment of the discontinued product. They do not care if you want one, three, or a dozen. Shop from the pile. Price seems high. That is 1,750.00 or so for a pair. Maybe Europe pricing is higher, but that was MSRP here before H IV.

H3 duo for 1822 dollars is a pretty good price , the conversion kit alone to transform a H2 into a H3 was 300$ per speaker/ shipping cost , was about 100$ - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet most are consecutive, just like the IV's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetowne Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 For what it's worth, I purchased a pair of Heresy III special edition matte black with consecutive serial numbers way back in early March of this year from an ebay seller for 1800 dollars. So there have been good deals available for some time now. I'm surprised they're not all gone by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelt Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 About 5 years ago I picked up Australian walnut H3s NIB for $1450. I didn't need them but it was too good of a deal to pass up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife wasn't too happy about it but I could legitimately say I paid less than a grand for the pair. Only regret was I got non-consecutive serial numbers (even numbered) and the Klipsch badge is on the left for both grills. For the cost savings, though, ain't going to complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have been customer returns etc. I have seen B stock for sale with physical damage too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Everyone saying the prices are high in Europe - well, yeah, of course. a) They're shipped over there from the USA in a big ol' container b) There's a distributor in the middle who adds 30% c) Extra costs for warranty have to be factored in - freight back and forth EU/USA etc d) B-Stock anywhere else in the world aside from the USA is a minimum chance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panelhead Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Too bad you are so far. I have a cherry pair of H III in Cherry. Maybe a 100 hours. Liked them so much I bought LS II’s. Been boxed in closet since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
