IndyKlipschFan Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1326896172I looked at these without the Tweeter in the box, and noticed the drivers do not appear to be even Klipsch. The only thing that does seem to be origional is the Crossover, and who knows if that is correct, working, or Even one designed for the Heresy too. The earlier ad said, " Appearantly Klipsh made them this way..." Yeah right, without a Tweeter ... Be careful out there. What you see is not what you get. Or in this case, what you see is definitely a reason NOT to get these. This is def NOT Klipsch. But a cheap copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Kind of hard to tell from the pictures. But the components do look like what Klipsch was putting in Heresys in the mid 80's: K-22-K woofer, K-53-K squawker, E2 crossover. Grills look right, even have the tweeter cutout.

aab3rd Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 didn't someone have these for sale a while back on E-bay. If I remember the thread correctly someone said that they were an industrial model. I could be dreaming though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Those are Klipsch components in a home-made box. The squawker is the Heresy 1.5/ Heresy II squawker and the woofer looks right. That's some sort of Klipsch network. Only the tweeter is missing. It must sound rough. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardre Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 aab - I think I recall the ones that were on e-bay a bit ago to have the tweeters missing but the tweeter holes present. These don't appear to have the holes. But the cloth looks factory. ------------------ Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aab3rd Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 ed, I agree with you about the holes. It is interesting though that if you look at the picture with the cloth on you can vaguely make out the look of the tweeter. Wierd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Looking at the picture of the inside of the box, I would say it either was not built by Klipsch, or somebody improved it. It appears to be better built than those from Klipsch. This one has cleats where all the panels come together. All the Heresys I have had, manufactured from 1965 to 1984, only had cleats for the back panel. A Klipsch box will have the serial number stamped into the back edge of the top panel. Looks like one may be there, but hard to tell. The seller admits there is no tweeter. "Looks to be factory made" tells me the seller does not know. All in all, if the components are what I guess them to be, I would say that the description is fair. Maybe BobG or another moderator can answer: Did Klipsch ever build such a beast?

Clint Phare Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Klipsch had Heresy's without tweeters in surround speakers built for movie theatres. I worked a 80's vintage UA theatre with them in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Seller says serial numbers are 161Y265 and 161Y267. That is toward the end of the Heresy run. Woofer and squawker I cited would be appropriate. Looks like it is Klipsch. Indy, sounds like you were a little early in flaming the seller.

IndyKlipschFan Posted January 29, 2002 Author Share Posted January 29, 2002 Well if I was early, my "intentions" were in the right place. While in college, a friend got a la scala that was not real. Nothing like spending your hard earned dollars and getting less than you thought. I can't imagine a Heresy without a tweeter.... Like getting a car without and engine. But to each his own. I guess that is also why I came in this forum for the "Experts" to set the record straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Although, it's better to call 911 and find out it was only gas pains, than to think it only gas, then to pass yourself. Keep up the good work and watchful eye, Indy! fini, old fart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Indy, I don't question your intention, just your method. I think you were certainly right to question the validity of the listing. And I cannot think of a better place than this forum to do it. The speakers certainly looked strange to me the first time I looked. It was just the jump to the conclusion that the the speakers were fake that I found a bit precosious. Your post impuned the honesty of the seller before you had the facts, not a good thing to do. I know I would resent it if you did it to me. In any case, we apparently learned something about yet another Klipsch product. Now for the big question. Why on earth would someone pay $350 for these where Heresys of the same vintage, with tweeters, go for about the same price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
