Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c


Howdy, 
I own a pair of Vandersteen 2c's which I really like but I also have a friend who's offering me his mint but original (no Crites upgrades) Heresy II Special Eds. I've never heard older Klipsch- how would you compare and contrast their sound? I had Klipsch KG5.5s and I loved how accurate they were but found them very fatiguing. I know most folks are collectors on here but I have limited funds and TBH space. As a renter its a bit challenging to constantly be hauling 3 full sets of gear around. Ha.

I should not that I have the following options for amplification:

- Sony STR V5 - underrated IMO
- Fisher 800c - potential match for the Klipsch 
- Nakamichi SR3a - Stasis/Nelson Pass
- Current= McCormack TLC --> 2 Marantz MA 500s  which will soon be powering Magnepan MG1s once I find better amp(s). (see other post) 

Thanks!

Cheap Date a new line of speakers featuring a circular array of squawkers...in a conventional box....
a grille to cover the works is optional at additional cost, expect a review on TwoMoons soon......


Proof is in the listening.  Try the Heresys with the Fisher and see if you like them (tubes are the only way to go with Heresy).  Be aware they are very efficient and not a choice to make neighbors happy in an apartment environment.

Good luck & happy listening!
