Why not purchase a pair of used Heresy 1s or 2s for cheap, and see how it goes. If you do not like them, you might break even in the resell. Or you can jump on the modify bandwagon, and improve on them. I am a huge Heritage fan, owning many in my time, and, currently. They "are" equipment sensitive, as I am not talking power, and require the proper room/listener distance, as all speakers do. It is nice to see, on Audiogon, that no one has jumped in and bashed horns, which is quite common here. Good luck, MrD.
