Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?


His passionate hatred for Heresy's and other Klipsch speakers made me laugh.

Gawdbless, that's an outstanding review on the H3s from Hi-Fi+ you had a link to. It gives me a lot of ammunition before pulling the trigger on a pair for my tube amp. While my room is medium to large, the seating distance of only 6-10' away may be the main hinderance according to the reviewer.
I have a medium-large room and my ears are maybe 8 feet of so from my slightly toed-in Heresy IIIs...perfect...and the sound level thing always seems funny to me as I don't know anyone serious about hifi that puts speakers in a really large room and sits 50 feet away...except myself when mixing live stuff. Before soundcheck I'll sit in a middle seat in a venue, put something on the system in stereo, and listen for my own amusement (the show's live sound is really dual mono so everybody in the room hears pretty much the same thing). Nothing quite like a multi thousand watt powered 18" subwoofered stereo in a 500 seat concert venue!
Thanks for your experiences w/ H3 at 8' distance.

BTW, how are your ears from mixing large arenas, and what type of music?
Somehow OT, back there in the thread white elephant / red herring, there was a comment "easier to drive" listing sensitivity numbers. Can someone correct me because for me easier to drive is impedance presented to the amplifier, putting out more dB / SPL per watt at 1 meter to me is no measure at all of easier to drive.
A high sensitivity speaker with nominal 4 ohm won't be easier to drive than a lower one with 16 ohms.
I'm a noob in audio matters and just trying to learn.
Further to my comment, the speaker nominal impedance across the entire full range of the drivers presented to the amplifier (I believe nominal means the average impedance across the entire range already but I'm not sure).I get the impression the sensitivity would be more of a marketing term of how loud a speaker will sound compared to another but this is somehow misleading IMO
