Thinking about buying new speakers....the Elac Uni Fi5 towers or the Klipsch hersery lll

How about a pair of Klipsch Quartets used? I've had both Heresy and Quartets, prefer the Quartets. Both of course are excellent.

Forgot to say you could upgrade the Quartets with Crites parts, although I don't think it's necessary.

Neither of these are audiophile quality.  Save up your money and buy a pair of either Vienna Acoustic’s or SALK speakers.  If you do, you won’t need to buy new ones later.

I'm a big Klipsch fan, but the Hereseys are probably some of my least favorites.  Unless you're looking for big horns, I would look at other Klipsch speakers that will go WAY deeper and sound less honky IMO.  If you're going for that big horn sound, I believe the Belle and La Scala sound much better.

Oh, and to echo people above.  The Klipsch Quartet or Forte are two of my favorite speakers ever and would blow the Elac out of the water in almost every way.  Find them used.  I sold two pair not long ago.
