Rare, Klipsch Heresy 1, 1979, Oiled Walnut. Fantastic condition!

Klipsch Heresy 1 3-way speakers in gorgeous high end oiled walnut finish (HWO).

Fantastic pair of the legendary heritage series Heresy I speakers in classic oiled walnut finish. Per the serial codes stamped on the cabinets, these were numbers 9 and 10 of the 1000 units built in 1979. The pair came from a single owner who maintained them in very good condition. The original paper tag is also present, and--while not in great condition--contains the handwritten names of the craftsmen that inspected and tested them.  These are original condition showpieces with K-22 woofers, K-55v midrange drivers on K-700 horns and K-77 tweeters with Type E crossovers. 

We handbuffed these with pure tung oil to eliminate any slight uv fading and restore their original luster. Highly doubtful you'll find another pair in this condition unless you are buying them new. Immaculate, among the first 10 pairs made in 1979, and priced to sell.
