mikega Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 sorry click on the pic and it should come up. I have so far figured out they are Heresy heritage 1 (If I'm deciphering correcty. ) I also found that the X is 1982. So I guess now the question is how do they pair up to a Marantz 2270? I can get these speakers in good shape for $400.00. I wasnt really looking at vintage Klipsch Heresy, but i would love to hear some opinions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heresy xxxx lacquer 1982 , did you remove the back of the speakers , and checked what drivers are being used , some 1982 Heresy speakers shipped with different midrange drivers ......you could have the K-55V or the Dual phase plug K-55V or even the K-52H .

Marvel Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 That would be crazy! You don't do an oiled lacquer. Pics of the cabinets would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justonemore Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Maybe oak laquer? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 They're good speakers, but newer Heresys sound better. I'd suggest looking for Heresy IIIs or post-1986 H2s, which can be updated to Heresy IIIs with the very economical kit from Klipsch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P. Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 For 400 bucks as long as they work, run, don't walk to get them. I don't subscribe to the theory of mating Speaker X to Amplifier Y so in my opinion you'll be fine. It would be nice if the speakers came with TILTED risers but if not you can always buy them aftermarket. After posting my reply I looked on Facebook Marketplace. There's a pair of Heresy I's for sale for a paltry 300 bucks! Yeah, the grills have stains and the honest seller mentions their flaws but I'd say they're worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikega Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm gonna grab them while I'm recapping my 2270 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Should be a good choice! They should pair well with a 2270. That was a transition period and we have nicknamed them Heresy 1.5s. They likely have H II squawker drivers. You'll have to try in your room, but I'd expect them to sound best near a wall, but not too close to the corner (affects male vocals too much). I liked running a subwoofer with my H Is. (If you can hear a subwoofer, it is 10 dB too loud.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
