Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?

i've owned many speakers (PSB Synchrony Ones, Martin Logan Spires, PBN Montana EPS 2s, Revel F208, Sonus Faber Liutos
and some high quality amplification, Simaudio i7). My friend has a pair of Heresy IIs in his apartment driven by a low priced Denon integrated. I've always been pleased and amazed with the sound of his Heresy setup, even at low volumes. They have a fantastic soundstage. Many times, sounds emanate far outside the speaker. Never felt they were harsh, just very lifelike. Admittedly, have not heard them at high volume in deference to his condo neighbors. Overall, was very impressed by such a modest priced speaker. Report this

Klipsch is lo-fi these days. The old man made some good stuff once upon a time.

^They are capable of some things you can't get from your precious Harbeths. On balance, they are just as good, but with different strengths. 

i agree with above post...i also owned Harbeth Super HL5+ ( a
very nice speaker with fragile tweeters). They can’t
match the Heresy for dynamics and soundstage.

I am a fan of Klipsch speakers.  I have Heresy 1 speakers with Crites upgrades and KLF-30's.  I would not consider the Heresy to be better than my Harbeth Super HLF5 Plus in any way.  The KLF-30's can play louder and are very dynamic, but they don't "see into" the music the way the Harbeths can and are not close in terms of detail. 

Klipsch speakers can be a great value for the money and do a lot of things right.  They certainly aren't the worst, but there are much better speakers available, but at a price, often more than double the price for a small amount of refinement.
