I recently purchased a pair of Heresy Floor Standing Speakers with matching serial numbers. I wonder if anyone her can decode the serial number for me: 165Y572.

 

Cheers!

 

Heresy speaker made in 1983  ---it's the 164, 572th Heresy made up to that date -

I recently acquired a pair of Heresy II's. They are in rough shape. Only one speaker has a label. They look like the Wicked Witch of the West, but sound like Christy Brinkley.

Can someone decipher the label ? I am fairly new to all of this (plug and play guy) . My wife says I'm having to much fun wasting money.

Born in 1985, and it is a "Heresy 2" because it appears to be a non-removable back panel (with no screws holding the panel in place).

this is  a  sticker showing 1985 as the 1st  first year of Production for the Heresy II  , however the serial number shows the 57 th week which lapses into the calendar year of 1986 ,  these speakers were   manufactured in February of 1986  -

I think @JRH Jim Hunter is going to be about the only one who can say for sure on these. Or, some folks with H 2 with known purchase dates with some S/N's so that reasonable interpolation can be undertaken.

 

I don't think they would go beyond 52nd week, it would go to new year and new week, but who knows.

5th week of of 1985, they didn't use a zero if weeks 1 to 9, just the single digit. This is why S/N only has 7 digits, not 8.

great -so ,  above 9 weeks  8 digits - under 10 weeks - 7 digits -
