Description
Loudspeakers - one pair, manufacturer - Paul W. Klipsch, date - 1982, model - Heresy with factory risers, finish - hand oiled walnut wood veneer. I have owned Heresys, Lascalas, and presently RB-81 IIs. I have previously designed and constructed several sets of loudspeakers. I am currently building a pair of (horn based) loudspeakers and will no longer need the Heresys. Shipping is $200.00 and will be Fed. Ex. ground. Local pick up with shortened milage is available details below. Shipping is Fed EX $200.00 Handling time is 2 days. All original build and parts are included. Klipsch uses high quality birch plywood. However, I have changed and mounted different back panels to greatly improve the speaker wire connection variety and solidity. The use of 3/4 medium density fiberboard also adds weight and decreases vibration and unwanted resonances. The panels are mounted using a 1/2 strip of silicone insulation with adhesive backing and 1/4' bead of silicone sealant/adhesive caulk. Using screws 1/4 longer but identical to the original screws in both diameter and thread count plus decorative washers then hand tightened. The back panels have terminals with 5-way gold plated binding posts for improved external speaker wire hook-up. Two 12-gauge OFC speaker wires with crimped spade and ring type terminations are used for connection from internal terminal posts to the crossover. No solder. They are secured to the terminal with gold plated washers and cap nuts. The original terminal to crossover hook-up wiring is also not soldered and also uses crimped spade and ring terminations tightened only with screws secured into the plywood back panel without additional conductive metal. The original plywood back panels with original terminals, original 2 internal wires for connection to crossover, and original screws will be all included with the speakers. All other parts of the internal construction and crossover remain original. If the buyer wants to use the original back, it's just a job of removing the screws and reattaching the original two wires, or just use the wires that are now there since no solder is involved, from the interior terminal posts to the crossover by loosening and retightening the terminal screws. Again, please see all photos for very clear visual detail of the back panel and speaker wire hook up improvements. Also, the original back panel. The original and new speaker hook up terminals are also easy to compare. The crossover has been cleaned and treated with an application of Pro Gold. Refer to the photos to determine the care and respect taken in making this recommended modification to also be easily swapped out with the original unaltered back plate. Please ask any questions you have. I reached the limit on uploading photos, but I do have more. The Heresy speaker line from Klipsch is historically and heavily reviewed, information is in abundance on multiple sites as are detailed specifications, discussions, knowledge and opinions abound. I ask that you benefit from that as needed to save my poor typing skills from continuing to make errors. Look closely and carefully at the many photos I have posted as these are your description for determining condition, and desirability. The interior condition is also clearly photographed, and an application of Pro Gold applied to all exposed wiring. A note about shipping. I do have boxes and packaging materials for each speaker. So, after a few more hours of listening I will go ahead and get them packed up. However, the cost of $200 shipping fee will be applied. These will be shipped in two large boxes with equally large amounts of padding which will also increase the shipping weight. Fed Ex ground. If the cost is higher, I will pay the difference. However, if the cost is lower, I will refund the difference to you. Shipping always has risks for damage Insurance is required. Another note about not shipping. Local pick up. Great idea!! Come to Lindale. Save the $200 well, minus the high cost of fuel for travel. Lindale is located in NE Texas about 100 miles from E. Dallas or 110 miles from Shreveport. Interstate 20 passes through Lindale as does State Hwy. 69. a crossroad to I35. And get this, I will meet you as part of local pick-up East or West I20 or Hwy 80 and North or South Hwy 69, up to 50 miles from Lindale. Exact location TBD On Sep-23-23 at 07:01:38 PDT, seller added the following information. I added a manufacturer badge to each back above the crossover. This badge was found on the very first Klipsch loudspeakers featuring a PWK logo. Nice touch don’t you think ? i
