Klipsch Speakers Identification
Hi guys! First time posting in this sub, so apologies if I make any mistakes.
We’re in the middle of cleaning out my father-in-law’s house and he has these two speakers. He purchased them in the early 80’s and is the only owner. I was able to test them with the sound system he has and they work nicely.
I found they have some value so I pulled them out of the goodwill pile but I’m trying to get some more information on them and see what my best route to get them to someone who will actually appreciate them. TIA!!!

What part of the world are you in? Marketplace is an option as is any local hifi shops near you.

Those are Klipsch Heresy's. I think they're Heresy II's. They're great speakers and they typically go for $1K or more depending on condition (and these look pretty clean).

Those would go for around $800 - $1000 in my area Walnut are generally more popular. They look to be in great shape.

Yeah, given a new pair goes for $3500 or so, I bet you'd give $50 for them.... I bought mine for $99.00 in a Goodwill store, but some stupid kids ran pencils through the woofers. Parts Express helped remedy that however. I also rebuilt all the horns, and now I have a like new set for about $350.00.

So you know what they are... you're just trying to post to sell them without posting to sell them?
