  1. David, Just sent you massive amount of Heritage info prior to seeing you sold the speakers. Please share freely as they were shared with me, Thanks! Good stuff. I'll let him/her speak up if they want to. Thanks for all the information and help!
  2. SOLD to a forum member. Thanks everyone!
  3. Pricing added to first post. Please read comment in edit about "bright-ness".
  4. Thanks, Opusk! I'm embarrassed I'd never noticed the serial numbers there below. That's the kind of tips I was hoping to find here. -David
  5. Thanks, friend. Will give it a shot tomorrow. Too tired.
  6. Just realizing the photos uploaded sideways. Sorry. No idea why or how to correct.
  7. Wow! Thanks! Had no idea and would have probably damaged one trying. Will update with serial number and pics as soon as I get home.
  8. Thanks, guys! I'll post a bunch of pics of the front, back, sides and so on tonight. Couldn't decide if I should wait until I had them or post now. I decided to post now hoping questions and requested pics come during the day so I can address tonight. Thanks again! Cool forum! -David
  9. SOLD to a forum member. Thanks everyone! Third/final edit: Hi. I'm asking $400 for the pair. That does not include shipping. We have a small shipping center here at work. I am still working through the best, safest, and cheapest way to ship. If you are interested in the speakers, PM and we can figure it out together. *** I will add one more comment to everything I've said below. (Between the pics and the descriptions I've given I believe I've covered everything cosmetically.) Last night I spent some time listening to old Peter Gabriel with lots of instrumentation through them. I moved the balance back and forth. "Speaker 1" does not sound as "bright" as Speaker 2. I genuinely don't know if it is the way the speaker has come to sound since it was built in 1978, or if there is an issue. Someone with a lot of knowledge about Klipsch speakers said - based only on my description - that it may be an issue with the "tweeter diaphram." So, I'm just passing that along. Thanks. *** Second edit: Am (hopefully) posting pics of the serial numbers. Sorry if not very clear. They read 52S498, and 52S499. Have to head back to work. Will figure out and add pricing as quick as I can. Thanks. Edit: Hello again, my new Klipsch friends. If I'm doing this right, I'm about to post six pictures - three of each speaker. You'll see on one of them the foam cover is bent a little a the top right edge. I am optimistic that this can be fixed with velcro but heck if I know. Just got in from work, am going to upload these, and go to bed. I will add pricing in the morning before going back to work. Now is a great time to PM questions and such if you have any. Thanks. Hopefully my original post below conveys I'm just a dude trying to learn what he's got and sell it. Again, thanks for letting me post here, and I hope I'm not breaking any of your forum rules; I probably should have waited until I had my ducks in a row to register and post this. - David Speaker 1 Speaker 2 Hi, I’m David. I’m new here. Thanks for letting me post in your forum. I’m selling my Klipsch Heresy speakers. I just came across this forum (as in I came across this an hour ago while here at work) and thought I’d start here before eBay and Craigslist. Below I’ll give more information about me at the end since I am indeed new. Tonight, I’ll post pricing as well as pics or videos or whatever anyone asks for who is interested. The point of posting this now while I’m here at work - before posting pricing and pics - is to invite any of you who might be interested to tell me now what pics or info you want so that I can knock it out tonight. I’m happy to provide it. I just don’t have a great deal of time at home and if I can minimize back-and-forths that’d be great. Thanks. Anyway, using Google Images, my Heresy speakers most closely resemble these. http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/648980909-klipsch_heresy_speakers/images/405616/ So, I don’t know what generation that makes them. However, the cabinets have more scuffs than those in the picture. ALSO, one of the speakers is missing the little gold Klipsch sticker. On the back of both speakers is a piece of paper with information from the factory. If someone with Klipsch once signed the little pieces of paper, his/her signature has now faded off. Will of course take pics of both stickers tonight. I have not taken the front off of them yet to look at the cone and horn and stuff. I will tonight. If anyone knows tips or tricks on opening them, please pass along. I don’t know if there is anything unusual to these covers. I am willing to open the cabinet itself for anyone legitimately interested assuming they convince me they need the information and tell me how to open them without damaging them. I currently run the speakers on a Tecniques SA-400. I use an Apple Airport Express to run music from my iPhone through Airplay to the Airport Express through a ⅛ jack to RCA into the Tecniques auxiliary input. The Heresy speakers sound fantastic. I’ll say that again. They sound fantastic. I know of not a single issue with them, outside of the lightly scuffed cabinets and the missing gold Klipsch sticker on one of them. I have driven them as hard as my own ears will allow. Through them I play rock-oriented music, and NPR. About me - so that you’ll know I’m a real, and normal, dude... Yes, my member name is my real name. I’m 41 and live outside of Birmingham, Alabama. I have a modest (infinitesimal) collection of vintage stereo equipment. I like collecting late-70s and early-80s receiver amps such as Tecniques, Sansui, Harmon Kardon, Realistic. Nothing fancy. I admit I enjoy the visual aesthetics more than the audio aesthetics. For my main stereo I have a Marantz receiver amp and pair of Klipsch towers and Klipsch sub, all circa 2002. I’m happy to PM anyone my phone number or email to prove I’m a real, albeit boring, dude, and if you have FaceTime, I can give you a FaceTime tour of the speakers. I only ask that you show some real interest in the speakers before asking for my info. Hope I’m not breaking any forum rules. Will update this post tonight with pricing, pics, etc. Thanks again! -David
