diyJohn Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I was lucky enough to buy a pair of heresy speakers over the weekend. The labels are blank except for the signature of the tester (sun bleached?) but there are numbers stamped into the rear edge of the top wood, 59S387 and 59S390. What do I have? Any comments on driver types and possible improvements are welcome. These appear to be walnut veneer. Tops are pretty scarred up and one appears lighter than the other (again, maybe sun effects?). There were no grills provided. I haven't fully checked them out yet. More questions than answers... Thanks for the help. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diyJohn Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 Thanks to all for the welcome and enthusiasm. So if I describe these as 1978 heresy, folks will know what that is? What is the significance of the 59 in the serial number? Also there was stamped into the wood, DKD on one speaker and DKL on another. Anyone know what that means? I am looking forward to getting them set up in a proper system, but I will have to move a few things around. I have heard that they are SET friendly. Any idea of efficiency? Thanks for the help.

scriven Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 When you say Heresys everyone important, read that everyone here, will know exactly what you are referring to. Your Heresys have a sensitivity ratting of 96dB @1watt/1meter. All of the Heritage line, of which Heresy is a member, love set amps. (Along with most of the rest of the Klipsch line!) I'm not sure about the other stuff in the SN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
