1960 Klipsch Heresy Value

I  sold a more recent pair for $500 local pickup. The buyer then sold them for $800 + shipping. I didn't want the hassle of shipping them.

I don’t know the specifics about Heresy, but, a couple people I know who are into Klipsch like the earlier models, like yours more than later versions.  A 1960 model in good shape would be a prize.

$1500 - $2000 a pair shipped.

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. 

Here is a 60’s pair for sale now. And another.

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.

Thank you! Not planning to sell them. Sentimental value as my dad bought these brand new. Just curious.  I have his Marantz tube amp and preamp he bought with the speakers…supposedly hand built by Saul Marantz. Someone offered me $3,500 but same thing, I can’t get rid of it. I’ll end up gifting to one of the kids. Grandson is into music. We’ll try to keep them around. Thanks again!

Yea, don't get rid of the old Marantz stuff, however they should be looked at by a competent tech as there are parts that will need to be replaced. 

    +1: on keeping anything built by Saul Marantz.

               I envy you on the acquisition(s).

 ...however they should be looked at by a competent tech as there are parts that will need to be replaced. 

        Absolutely (especially: any/all electrolytic caps)
