Stu Pidass Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 On a previous post the following info was given for identifying Klipsch speakers: 1st letter = model: H=Heresy/ B=Belle Klipsch/ C=Cornwall/ LS=Lascala/ K=Klipschorn 2nd letter = veneer: B=Birch/ O=Oak/ W=Walnut/ M=Mahogany etc 3rd letter = finish: R=Raw/ O=Oil/ L=Lacquer/ B=Black paint I'm currently looking at purchasing a Heresy with a label showing "Type H.DR.12" and Serial Number 6L743. I realize these are from 1973 but the model number has me sctratching my head. Can anyone help??? Regards, Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschguy Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 Hello Stu, Are you sure that 'D' is not a 'B' - which would make the speakers "Heresy, Birch, Raw." You can tell if they're raw birch just by looking at the cabinets. Even if stained, the front edges will be a visible nine-ply plwood. By the way, glad to hear you got your Cornwalls straightened out. KG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Pidass Posted July 31, 2001 Author Share Posted July 31, 2001 Thanks Klipschguy. No these say exactly what I indicated "model H.DR.12" (hand written) . They appear to be a finished hardwood of some kind. The unfinished back appears to be fir plywood. I still can't figure out the "DR.12" in the model number though. Anybody???

Klipschguy Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 Decorator gets my vote. Beautiful pair of Heresys - maybe the best I've seen. KG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
