davidmac Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I bought a pair of used Heresy's recently and I would like to know how old they are. I am looking for a serial number reference or someone with an encyclopedic knowledge of Klipsch serial numbers. TIA davidmac bastrop, tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin_tx_16 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Kelly is Mobilehomeless and is just another poster on the bulletin board. I do not know the website anymore, otherwise i woudl have posted a link. All the info on the site is in my post however. You live in Bastrop Texas? I used to live in houston, but just about every summer I worked at Camp Wilderness Ridge in Bastrop. Beautiful drive to a beautiful part of Texas.

dougdrake Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 "Kelly is Mobilehomeless and is just another poster on the bulletin board." Just another poster? Justin, I know you don't mean that. He, and a few others that come to mind, define Bohemian audiophiles to me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmac Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 As a matter of fact, I just went to Houston to pick up my Heresys. I was quite relieved to get back to the beauty of that area versus the urban ugliness that is Houston. I lived in Austin for more than 10 years and have just moved to a little area north of Bastrop. I love the pine forest at Bastrop National park and I really love the drive on 71 when it gets hilly and full of pine trees. Off topic, but how and where did you get the bender avatar? I hated all the oned this forum had to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I lived in Champions Houston and River Oaks, so more of the nicer area than some of Houston. I had this avatar when Futurama was still on TV, just made the picture from pictures on the net and uploaded them. Oh, and I was born in Austin some 19 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenn8 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Good morning, I'm trying to find out more information on my Klipsch speakers that I inherited from my father. I have loved them for 20 years, and never paid attention to the history before.The bottom of sticker says 1985 Klipsch and associates, but none of the serial numbers match what have been posted previously. S/N 37009 W/O 6793 any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
