HeresysIII at low Volume

Actually, I discovered after my 2 year relationship with a pair of Heresys is that they play more accurate and without the "shout" at low volumes. I loved them late at night. I didn't like them when I pushed them hard. Yes, they have a reputation of being able to play loud but, IMHO, they play better and more accurate at low to low medium levels.

I did have to modify my pair to find ultimate enjoyment, as well as couple them to a pair of subs. However, I do like to listen at moderate to loud levels, so, eventually I sold them.

Thank You, Yogiboy N Raymonda...would bigger Harbeths be good also...remeber i have a 30 watt Class Amp...Yogiboy

Henrycai, It all depends on the size of your listening room and how far you sit from the speakers. I use the P3ESR(sensitivity a low 82 DB) with 50 watt tube amps with no problem. My room size is 20x15. I have used larger floor standing Spendors with no problem. I have used big solid state amps in the past and I think power is way overated. BTW, what is the size of your room?

If you dampen the mid horn, (and, dampen the tweeter horn), the benefit of louder listening will be improved. The entire front baffle becomes less resonant. Listening improves at lower volume as well. MrD.
