jduff Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I have a pair of beat up Klipsch stage monitors ('70s/'80s) with no identifying marks on them. Can anyone enlighten? These are three-way monitors in wedge/floor boxes. The speakers are marked as follows: Tweeter - K-77M Mid - K-700 12" speaker - K-42-EV In addition there is a very elaborate (what looks like a) analog cross-over system. These monitors sound amazing but, alas, I don't have a use for them. Before I sold/traded them I thought I would try to find out more about them. I would be very grateful for any information.

Tony Reed Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 They sound like Heresy Stage Monitors. Are they black with aluminum trim? If so, I might be interested in buying them. Do you have any pictures? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jduff Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 The only trim would be a (black painted) metal grill covering the 12", and an aluminum Klipsch inscribed, recessed, handle/grip. The back plate, with two 1/4 inch insert/jacks, has a fuse (I don't know the rating off hand) and an old "Inspected by:" sticker with hand written signatures. The boxes look like they are 1/2 in plywood, in a diamond shape, sprayed with black, industrial, paint. Also, the 12" speaker magnet is stamped "5326". I will post photos tomorrow. Thanks very much. -julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Reed Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Yep... those are Heresy stage monitors. Pretty cool little speakers. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old!!Ears!! Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I believe that these were called Heresy, Industrial SLANT Monitors (designated HI-SM). They had the same driver complement as the Heresy, Industrial Ported (HIP), but were not ported since bass response was not important in a monitor intended for vocals. They were available in the standard finishes as all industrial Klipsch; Birch, Black Crackle Finish, and Fiberglass, all with or without Aluminum edging. *As an interesting aside, for a short while, you could get the regular Heresy in this Slant Monitor cabinet. I got a pair and mounted them, inverted with the woofer on top, in the ceiling corners in my condo. I can't remember if they had the regular Heresy input blocks or the Industrial type. I just remember having them covered in the wallpaper that I had on the walls. This freed up the floor space for furniture and accentuated the bass available from the Heresy!

jduff Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Thanks to Tony and OldEars for identifying these HI-SM's. As I mentioned in the first post, I am looking to sell them. If you have any interest in them feel free to contact me at julian_duff@yahoo.com Thanks again. -julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
