1960 Klipsch Heresy Value

I have a pair of 1960 Klipsch Heresy Speakers and was wondering if anyone knew their value. I’ve got pictures if I could figure out how to load them. Model number H-WO-12. Serial numbers 201 and 202.  Inspected Nov 29, 1960 and tested Nov 30, 1960. Both dates signed. They still are in good condition and sound great.

Uhh no. Nobody in their right mind would pay $1500 for old Heresy’s! Just today a work buddie Klipsch fan came up and was bragging about his perfect V1 early 80s single owner Heresy’s he bought over the weekend. $500. I think he got a descent deal but not a steal.

As I posted above that was the second pair I sold. Back about 12 years ago I bought a pair at my local Goodwill for $25. Tried them, didn't like them. Sold them locally for $375. Then bought my friend's Altec Madrid's for $350. A much better speaker!

There is a good site that combines most sold hifi gear from the bigger players. It's called hifi shark. it's pretty easy to use, just make sure you are looking at sold and not listed items. It's not perfect because it gives you the last "listed" price but a valuable site when truth seeking values.
