Purchased Hersey H-BR yesterday. Can anyone give year as well as thoughts. Thanks

Step 1 is hook them up and enjoy!

Key here is to know the sound, pro and con. This way, if you try something, you will know if it is an improvement or not.

Many times (depending on who has owned them prior), they will be just fine as they are.

One point is that year, 1983 there started to appear some transitional combinations of drivers as they moved toward the Heresy II. Some call them the 1.5!

If you open them up and check the components, you may find a K55M or K52H mid driver. If it is the 52 it probably has the E-2 crossover instead of the E. Additional changes were also made at later dates until the H2 was official. If you do open the cabinets, loosen and tighten all screws on the cross over. Very easy step, might help,  why not?

Not going to debate which is better, both versions are very good.

Heresy-Birch Raw...they were unfinished Baltic birch plywood and possibly finished/stained by an owner...as said above, the Y denotes 1983 for that model...enjoy and please share some photos when you get a chance...

@MookieStl is spot ON!  Crack 'em if ya want and do your nosin.  Loosen and re-tighten the Xover screws for sure, wire them up and use some common sense at first but they're amazing speakers.

 

Picked up a pair of 81's in OW for a smaller system and threw a Mac 4100 receiver on 'em.  The daily driver while I'm playin around o/l.  It's KILLER!  They'll take everything you throw at it within reason.  Maybe a pair of risers if you want, which I think was money welll spent, and you'll be cookin!  Have ya sum fun brother!  :)
