kelly001 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 for $300 (early 80s model)? Am I crazy to let this one slip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkalsi Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 300 is a fair price - they usually sell around 325-350 - you are not CRAZY to pass on the deal or anything - but if you are asking if that speaker is worth it for $300 - my opinion - NO DOUBT its worth it - the Heresy is a very credible speaker - if its in great condition - I personally think $300 is a fair price.

oldbuckster Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 If they work, that's a fair price ............ How much do you think you'll get them for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly001 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Well it has a quarter size chip to the top of the veneer and I can't preview it which makes me nervous. According to the seller it hasn't been modified or serviced since he bought it. As long as I'm not passing on the deal of a lifetime...

According to the seller it hasn't been modified or serviced since he bought it. As long as I'm not passing on the deal of a lifetime... Kelly, I'll take the contrary position ... I've bough a lot of Klipsch speakers over the last five years and a few observations: (1) Not being able to preview them is a problem; my gut tells me your instincts are right; (2) a quarter-sized chip is pretty large, but it tells me these speakers haven't been protected as well as they should have been, be it parties or moving; (3) my gut tells me that you'll have to replace the diaphragms for the tweeters ... they're probably blown. Figure $75 for that plus the hassle of ordering them, install them, etc.. Being able to preview them would enable you to take a simple multimeter to see if the diaphragms are intact, as well as checking the mid-range and woofers. If someone won't let you do this, I'd be stressed a bit. If you've already done a deal, that's fine, but if not, I'd tell him it's a deal-breaker and look around Audiogon or Craig's list. I paid the record price for a pair of oak Heresies ($700) on Ebay ... but they were local, they were perfect, and they were relatively rare in my area. I was OK with the decision and didn't lose any sleep. Good luck and let us know how it turns out! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 The guy decided to suddenly up the price by $150 and also drop their age by 12 years. [*-)] Given this, I'd definitely run ... He's not only dishonest about the age, he's got no conscience. Find a better seller to do business with. Keep an eye out for some Cornwalls in the Boston area. Cambridge has a lot of them since old-timers bought them at the Music Box in Brookline (?) when it was open. I got a nice pair of 1967 Cornwall II (verticals) from such a situation. Dr. Lessard now owns them and they can be had for $800-$1000 if you're patient. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbuckster Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Let's see if I understand you correctly .............started out as 1980ish for $300. ... now ...1992ish for $450 ??? Is that close ....... still has quarter size chip on top ? Guess your not taking my advice ........ save yourself now, while you still can, once your bitten by the Klipsch bug, your done ...........
