My ~1980 Heresy’s


Recommended Posts

In 1980 I was a teenager working at Camera Mart in Little Rock AR, sister store to Custom Audio, a Klipsch dealer.

 

I acquired a set of Heresy’s from the audio store (an interesting story details of which I’ll relate later) which I’ve had ever since. If my memory is correct these were $800 speakers back then, is that accurate?
 

Sometime in the mid 80s my apartment flooded and ruined the veneer on both, which I removed and the speakers were then simply painted black.
 

I just finished a new house build and got them out of storage and want to refinish them like they were originally. Who is a good source for veneer that would be a good match?

 

They are 104U012 and 013.

 

Thanks in advance!

So the WL stands for Walnut Lacquer.  I’m not a veneer expert but hopefully someone who is will find this thread and have some good suggestions.

 

It’s awesome that you kept them all these years, especially after the apartment flood!  I have 5 Heresys that range in age from 1980 to 1984 that I’m using in my home theater.
