These are a rare 1950s-60s 'Dealer Custom' build from the legendary Audio Center in Houston, TX. The internal components were bought as a kit directly from Klipsch in the early 60s, then were directly installed into these custom built shorthorn-style cabinets by Audio Center, as was done by a number of other high-end distributors in that era.

They utilize the authentic Klipsch Shorthorn Model T drive kit (K-77, K-55-V, K-22, Type 2R Crossover) professionally installed in custom solid oak cabinetry—a material upgrade over the factory plywood. They feature the rare back-loaded folded horn design for superior bass response compared to the Klipsch Heresy I.

These share the same legendary driver loadout as the Klipsch Heresy I, but with a more complex folded-horn cabinet that provides the bass extension the Heresy often lacks. They make for incredible listening speakers, and sound pristine.

Cosmetically they are in 8.5/10 condition, with a few minor surface blemishes, but are structurally sound and completely free of any cracks or other damage. All internal components and drivers are stock, mint, and function flawlessly.


Sonically, they are very stunning and detailed like you would expect from any higher end Heritage Klipsch. These are no doubt vintage endgame speakers.

Specifications:

Crossover balancing network Type 2R, which has been found in Cornwall Verticals and shorthorns variants
K77 tweeter serial number 2600 and 2595
K55 mid range Serial number 3619 and 3667 with K1000 horns
Bass driver is electro voice sp12 rebranded as Klipsch and associates k22 Serial Number 1617 and 1788


The cabinets measure:

Height 29 inch

Width 22.5 inch

Depth 20 inch

Each speaker weighs 92 pounds each.


Cosmetically they are beautiful. They have very good presentation for a vintage piece. Each speaker is on 4 casters for easy mobility.
