Interesting Ebay Item

Recommended Posts

Not sure if it means anything, but I found it interesting that the cabinets have mitered corners. Heresys from the 70's had butt jointed cabinets, yet my verticle horn Cornwalls from that same time period have mitered corners. I guess I'm postulating that these might have been scaled down Cornwalls versus scaled up Heresys. I dunno......

One thing is for sure, like many of you (I suppose), I'd love to hear these things.

I had some email conversation with him and these are indeed legit and the guy does know his stuff. He worked at the Klipsch factory from '70-'78, when was Andy (HDBRBuilder) there? The grill cloth, the padding, the crossover have vintage Klipsch all over them. I would imagine that they would sound pretty good and have decent bass response to boot.

They look like a bridge between a Heresy and Cornwall, perhaps a CornHer. 9.gif

listening cave into the real house. my wife says yes if they are on
their side in a built in cabinet,

If you oil and tung your wife, maybe she'll let you go vertical.

I had many phone conversations and emails with the seller 6 months ago and almost purchased these. These are authentic. They are not Little Bastards, although I couldn't convince him of that.

The seller insists that PWK referred to them as Little Bastards. My guess is that Paul probably used that moniker to describe a lot of speakers over the years.

Wasn't that Paul's pet name for Trey?

Andy said he worked there from 76-83 in a previous thread.

There is something suspicious about the item/seller. I contacted him several times by email to tried and obtain better and more complete photos. I recieved no reply. I even informed him of my location, and that I was only 120miles away, and still no response.

I smell a dishonest ebayer. Beware this guy. If someone on this forum wants them, I will be happy to drive down there to scope'em out. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until after the New Years, since I'll be going out of town (Home) this Saturday.
