So Mapman…if you or If anybody is looking for a pair of these damn things (Heresy IIIs) I don’t mind sharing the fact that I got them from Ebay as a pair from a supposed "authorized" dealer (the 5 year Klipsch warranty is supported they say). I was not in a hurry to get these, but the free shipping also nudged me, and they’re the least expensive "open box" pair listed so you should be ably to find ’em if you wish. That seller also gives you until late January to return them with no lame re-stocking fee, you just pay for the shipping. They arrived in 4 days (!) from Nevada (Somehow Amazon was involved which meant USPS delivered them on a Sunday! A day earlier than tracking indicated…surprise!) to my house outside Boston, and were "cryoed" as they sat on my porch for a night as I was returning from a trip…I let them thaw before opening. Not sure if the Capitol Edition thing was simply luck (normally they list for 500 bucks more than the "normal" version, something I would not pay for since they're' exactly the same components as regular Heresys), or if they just have a pile of those. The grills seem patterned after a sweater I used to have, and the finish is a weird "Ebony" that looks like dark purple…sort of…but I like 'em.
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
As just another way to build a loudspeaker system why such disputes in forums when horns are mentioned? They can solve many issues that plague standard designs but with all things have there own. So why such hate? As a loudspeaker designer I work with and can appreciate all transducer and loudspeaker types and I understand that we all have different needs budgets experiences tastes biases. But if you dare suggest horns so many have a problem with that suggestion..why?
