asupcsi Posted September 22, 2001 Share Posted September 22, 2001 Hello, I just pickd up my first set of Klipsch's today. I wanted some about 16 years ago but couldn't afford them then. I was at an estate sale looking for a dining table when I happend to spot a pair of Heresy's (once you've seen some K's you never forget). They were in great shape and only $150/pr. I couldn't pass them up and now I finally own a pair. Took them home, dusted them off and plugged 'em in. They sounded just like I heard them 16 years ago. In other words, great! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could tell me when they were built. The SN# is 159Y013. Walnut finish. Thanks for the help, Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted September 22, 2001 Share Posted September 22, 2001 Why doesn't that ever happen to me??? Congratulations, and welcome aboard. I believe your Heresy's were built in 1983. The letter is the year designator on models built from 1962 to 1983. 1962 was A, '63 was B and so on, but leave out O and Q -- those weren't used (I'm guessing to avoid confusion with 0). Enjoy!

ShapeShifter Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Manuel, Yours were produced 1984. After 1983 the first two numeric positions denote year produced. Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
