Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?

Wolfy Thank you for reinforcing my point, and if you prefer, how's a red herring? Heresy IIIs: Frequency Respose 58Hz – 20kHz
Cornwall IIIs: Frequency Respose 34Hz - 20kHz
Right off the hop the listener is missing out on 24Hz of the music spectrum.
As I stated in my post "If one purchases a pair of speakers and you have to add bells/whistles, subs, and modify (although I am an ardent advocate of mods), perhaps it's time to rethink your choice".
And what do you say? "a couple of RELs to make things outstandingly good". So now your taking up even more space with the RELs/ Heresy than you would with the Cornwalls, plus, now you're dealing with phasing issues. You also go on to say "and the price difference alone would allow the purchase of a swarm of woofers". That's economical isn't.

You're saving nothing, taking up more space, introducing phasing issues, why are you trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear? 
If you'd re-read what I wrote " Heresy's are not a bad sounding speaker", " The Cornwalls are such a better platform to build on".
To close the Cornwalls are easier to drive, 102dB, as opposed to the  Heresy's 99dB, plus you get a 15" bottom end driver as opposed to the 12" that comes with the Heresy, not only giving you a wider frequency response, but also fuller richer sound engineered right from the factory .

Porcine metaphors aside, I don’t buy speakers as a platform to build on as it’s more that I simply add things that fit my existing "platform" and enjoy them or toss ’em out as needed. Also, please add the term "red herring" to "white elephant" in your list of terms you might not actually understand, as knowledge can often have a calming effect. Note also that Heresy IIIs with a Swarm (an actual AudioKinesis product) would likely sound astonishingly more coherent than any Cornwall could hope for, but my RELs (with phase adjustment for days) sound pretty great so I don’t care...and I do manage to get by with 99db efficiency somehow, especially if I sit REAL CLOSE. I’ve owned this pair of RELs for years and they’re unobtrusive in my listening room to the point of being nearly invisible, so although I appreciate your concern about space, it’s a non issue in my place. The Cornwalls price, large size, and design simply don’t cut it for me in my current situation where the Heresy IIIs have worked out perfectly...right from the same factory! I’m a professional sound engineer and musician and when phase issues raise their ugly heads in my listening room I address it...Out of Here Damn Phase Issues! Like that...now I’m hungry for some herring...I prefer kippered.

@wolf, I hope you aren't still angry with me. @thehorn, I think you are pretty ignorant, and no question opinionated. Every speaker ever made, whether Klipsch or otherwise, shows a compromise in some way. Every speaker is made to a price point, and can be improved upon further. Can you name a speaker that does not have at least 1 or 2 compromises. At every price level of the 5 original Heritage models, from the beginning to the present, they are, and have been, as good as anything out there. Keep in mind, that we all are different listeners, and each of us are as individualistic as the next. I have owned more speakers than I would like to admit, and I have heard many more in my lifetime. What " perfect " speaker do you own, or are you aware of ? I will await your response. Enjoy ! MrD.

@florida71, you too are showing your ignorance, and individuality. Enjoy ! MrD.
