@wolf, I hope you aren't still angry with me. @thehorn, I think you are pretty ignorant, and no question opinionated. Every speaker ever made, whether Klipsch or otherwise, shows a compromise in some way. Every speaker is made to a price point, and can be improved upon further. Can you name a speaker that does not have at least 1 or 2 compromises. At every price level of the 5 original Heritage models, from the beginning to the present, they are, and have been, as good as anything out there. Keep in mind, that we all are different listeners, and each of us are as individualistic as the next. I have owned more speakers than I would like to admit, and I have heard many more in my lifetime. What " perfect " speaker do you own, or are you aware of ? I will await your response. Enjoy ! MrD.
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
His passionate hatred for Heresy's and other Klipsch speakers made me laugh.

A high efficiency woofer, regardless of its diameter, has to trade off low-end extension in order to get that high efficiency. Along the way, the lighter cone and powerful magnet make the high efficiency woofer pretty articulate higher up the spectrum. I don’t know the particulars of the woofer in the Heresy, but it probably has a motor-strength-to-moving-mass ratio that compares favorably with cute little audiophile midwoofers. And here’s how box size fits in: In order to have another octave of low-end extension and maintain the same efficiency, the Heresy would need a box EIGHT TIMES the size. This is assuming a such a woofer exists, and to the best of my knowledge it doesn’t. Much cheaper and more practical to add subs. One may or may not agree with the tradeoffs Klipsh chose for the Heresy, but imo they did a competent juggling of those tradeoffs. Duke |
