Arky Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I have been looking for a pair of Heresy's for some time to use in my office. Watched ebay & searched locally but for some reason Klipsch rarely shows up on the used mkt in Arkansas, maybe we're too poor. I found a guy on Craigslist who was willing to ship from SanFran bay. He was out of room because he & his wife sold their house to go live on their boat; a crapshoot but I figured I could have any damage repaired. Well I got lucky, Fedex got them here unharmed. These are so pristine I can't find any blemishes on the cabinets. Seller said he bought these in the early '90's. The labels are in place but are blank/faded other than signatures. The Heresy II terminal cup trademark reads 1986 but I suppose that could mean when the cup was produced? I haven't pulled them yet to see what's inside. Front mounted drivers. I stuck them in the BR to test. I am shocked at how good these little boxes sound. Clear as can be. I hooked up a little sub I had laying around, very pleasing. These will work nicely for the office. Hard to beat for $200 + $80 to ship. Pics to follow if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 They look very, very nice. That's a lucky find. They look like OO or OL, very pretty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomac Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 In a world somewhat void of bargains you certainly found one. I enjoy figured wood and that veneer is quite nice. So is the sound, Id bet. Congratulations!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Arky, Congrats. That's an excellent price and they are beauties, too. in fact, those Heresies would have been a good price at $200 apiece. I've got a pair I've been wanting to sell, but the stock is so low, I'd buy another pair for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Looks like the same finish on my best friend's KLF-30s. Beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 sweet deal there Arky! only $80 for Heresy cross country- that's not bad. How did they have them packaged so they survived the ordeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel's wife Posted October 21, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2007 Congratulations Arky! I know you have been anxiously waiting to purchase a pair of Heresies. Dtel has a pair in his shop (we need to replace one of the tweeters)....I can't wait till we find some Industrial LaScalas so we can bring the Heresies inside for our bedroom. Your Heresies look beautiful....I know you have to be very pleased....and such a good buy....good things are worth waiting for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I have seen many Heresey speakers for sale in Little Rock but none at that good of a price. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Great deal! They look mint. If the connector cups are round, they're likely 86-89 models. I think the square connector cups started in 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thanks for the comments. I was very fortunate. The cups are rectangular. He shipped in his original boxes which had lost their stiffness. Mostly original materials, wrapping, corner pieces etc. then he stuffed the sides & ends with 2 x 12 Fedex small container boxes. Not ideal but got here intact. He had these in storage for awhile & they look like they're new out of the box. I'm very pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Robin Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Man what a deal. Great looking veneer also. Put them in the corners with a little room to breath and you will be amazed; not as much bass a the cornwall's but they will sound better. A little sub as you stated will take care of that.
