Rowan611 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 I just wanted to say that I had the privilege of meeting Rowan611 today when I purchased two THT subwoofers from him. Great guy and while I didn't get a chance to check these Heresys out I'm sure whomever ends up with them will be very pleased!Thanks wuzzzer….great to meet you. Enjoy those THTsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan611 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 did you open the backs , and did you check which drivers are lurking underneath Nope.

Rowan611 Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Still for sale. But, I sold my 1299s today and I’ll be using these for my center for the time being. I can open them up later tonight and see what the internals are (they’re in my theater now). Happy to discuss offers also. I’ll get the driver info in a bit.

Rowan611 Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 the value depends on which drivers , you will find inside the speaker-and the condition of the speakers , everything counts -grilles -badges and scratches plus , if you have the K55M midrange driver , the speakers are worth more than the K53 midrange driver-- on the other hand the prices of Heresies have soared lately -so it's a sellers market as we speak Looks like the k53.

M_Klipsches Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 To my ears the H1.5 are the best sounding Heresys. Whoever isn’t buying these is missing out. If I didn’t already have five Heresys, two of which are ‘83 “1.5”s… Good luck with your sale, or keeping them, whichever is best for you.

Mine, internally are the same as Rowan611’s. Honestly when I bought my ‘83s I had no idea there was any internal difference between those and the pair of 1980 H1s that I’d owned for years. I just thought they sounded better, more bass, a smoother and more balanced sound. Honestly, I thought it was in my head. I owned them for a couple of years before I opened them up, and saw they had different parts. Then I remembered hearing about the “H1.5”, and I realized, that must be these.

Area 51 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Thank you. I appreciate your help. Rowan611 and you have: K-22-K Woofers K-53-K Mids or Squawkers K-77-M Woofers (though I see K-77. I don't know where the "M" comes from). Type E-2 Networks and that makes a Heresy 1.5 This is all new to me. My recently acquired "Mystery" Heresys have: K-22-E Woofers K-55-V Mids K-77-M Tweeters Type E Networks No Tags and the Serial Number digits are illegible. The young man I bought them from has no idea. Do I understand Randy correctly: this combination would mean they were manufactured in the late '70s? And that would mean they are Heresy 1s? And you, M_Klipsches, have both and prefer the sound of the 1.5s. And Randy feels the K-55-V Mids make these more "valuable" than those speakers with the K-53-K Mids? It probably doesn't matter to me because I probably won't be selling any time soon but I wonder why one "Squawker" might be "worth" more or less than the other? Thanks again, geo Area 51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, geo Area 51 Those components sound like the ‘70s through early ‘80s Heresys. Pics might help. But the serial numbers would be the best info. Maybe start a thread with detailed pictures would yield some answers. Obviously components can be swapped, cabinets can be built/rebuilt. One thing, you use the word illegible for the serial numbers. Maybe try to take a piece of paper and pencil or charcoal and try to take a rubbing that might reveal the mystery. Another place to look is the upper left side, look for an initial or two there. Those are the builder’s initials. That could narrow the time frame. Good luck. Looking forward to seeing pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area 51 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 1 hour ago, M_Klipsches said: you use the word illegible for the serial numbers. Thanks! One cabinet is simply "illegible". The other, with a little guesswork, looks like (maybe) 9 9 U 1 7 (9)? And, in the upper left corner maybe "H" ? I recall seeing a "how to" post pictures on the forum but I don't remember where I saw that. Is there a dumbed down "For Dummies" version available?

If that letter in the corner could be an “A”, then like my 1980s they were built by fellow forum member #hdbrbuilder. If it’s an “H” I’m sure he’d know who built them. I hope I’m not taking too much focus from Rowan611’s potential sale. Then again, I suppose a thread bump only helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the smart phone is a whole lot smarter than I am. I am embarrassed to admit I don't know how to get those pics from the phone to the forum. 2 minutes ago, M_Klipsches said: I hope I’m not taking too much focus from Rowan611’s potential sale. I'm sorry. I certainly don't want to interfere with a sale. Thanks for your help, M_Klipsches. Good luck with your sale, Rowan611! (I'm not going to complete the message I was about to post since most of my questions regarding Heresy "heritage" were answered). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
