Aris T. Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone! I am thinking of purchasing a used pair of Heresy 2 (2001 model according to serial number) in very good condition at 800 euros. Is that a good value? is there anything i have to look out for? My space is about 18 square meters and I have a good sansui 771 vintage receiver. Thanks in advance !!

Flevoman Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Yes, I think this is a good price. Here in the Netherlands they go for around the 1000,- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 You paid a very good price in European terms. We have a good pair in local adds costing 2.000 EUR, but due to high price this pair sits here for more than a year now. Sansui could match well with H2. Congratulations and wish you well with your pair 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Great speakers! I have a pair... not sure. The stickers were gone off the backs. I believe they are from the lat '80s according to the inspection stickers inside the cabinets. The should sound fine in a room that size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aris T. Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 Thank you all. I went for them. By Saturday i will have them singing! I do have some worries about the bass but I guess I have to find out myself. Anyway I will try to post photos from the listing so I can get a few more opinions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Going to guess that you will like the bass. As to pics, will await others to say. @Aris T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean based on images and info.. i could not listen to them since they are in another city, but I have a video that they both play, and it looks legit. I spoke with the guy on the phone several times.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 The cabs look to be in very good shape (mine are black lacquer) and I like the veneer on them. Mine are in a room approx. 40 sq. meters and I have quite adequate bass for my taste in music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that you also have them placed on the floor? In your opinion should I place them on some low stands or not?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had mine on the floor, tilted back a little bit, but I felt like the sound was coming up at me. They are currently on top of some large bass horns (at the moment not being used) about four feet up. My room has 9+ foot ceilings. They are on their sides, and sound really great. Other than the weight, try them for a while in different places. Pick the one you like, no matter what 'experts' say. Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See it as a free ticket to give it a try. For me the whole journey started with the Hersey2, and after some more Heritage speakers it ended with the lascala, so be warned 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
