Hitchhiker's Guide to old, weird Model H Heresys
Finally tripped over a 52 year old set of 3 Model H's......now to read up! :yes:
2 mains with Xovers at 1000 & 5000,
oil caps,
cane grill cloth,
plus a bass cab with no xover--just one woofer.
Serial numbers:
291,
292 (Model H-D-12) : K-77, K-55, K-22 (11/56)
293 (Model H-D-12-B) : bass unit, K-22 only.
Others I've read about cross over at 700, not 1000.
Only 11" deep, not 13" like every Heresy I see on the web. :saywhat:
Inspection stickers all there, so it's not a kit.
1. Klipsch website for specs and pics
2. Review w/ cool historical background by David L. Winebrenner about here (http://www.audioreview.com/cat/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/klipsch/heresy/PRD_119926_1594crx.aspx#review0): might have to hunt, it changes; it's the June 9, 1999 review (about 37/47 at this time).
3. searching AK for info-rich ...any early Heresy threads that rock? :guitar:
I'm still digging so be patient...my first 'heritage' Klipsch. (Had towers: RF-3, RP-3, still have RF-7's. )
