Buying notes
Klipsch Heritage horn speaker from 1985-1996. Check midrange driver; the original Trachorn midrange can develop issues. Woofer surrounds on some versions need refoaming. Verify the passive radiator on the rear of the cabinet is undamaged. Multiple versions exist with different crossover designs.
