Klipsch Heresy IV

Take a deep breath. It was one hobbyist making a review and mentioning the damage and rust. One person. This was the first review where I heard of this and I would hope that JBL would step up and make a statement regarding the issue. It will not deter my interest in the L100. I hope to get a pair this summer.....unless COVID-19 has other plans for me.

I'm not on either side of the JBL or Heresy.  I was interested in both before buying Forte 3's...  I'm sure both rock and they get great reviews but like anything audio, gotta try it in your room with your gear to see if delivers the goods.

Regarding Robinson's JBL peeling veneer and rust complaint, that sounds like a humidity issue.  Maybe he inadvertently exposed them to excess moisture or humidity?  Unless he lives at the beach and has the windows open there's no reason why they would rust if kept indoors.  He probably bought them second hand or he would have sent them back to the dealer he bought them (or JBL directly) for replacement.  

Also, his reviews are crap.  Thick with so much schmaltz and fluff and no real substance.  Seems like he's targeting lower priced mass market stuff to maximize youtube views and page hits.  Slick website, video editing and... dogs!  (lol) 

ugh barf.  

So why should we have to read the “Comments “ section to find out the original conditions of gear Andy is reviewing??

wow,I opened a can of worms there.My intent was to pass along what his observations were between the 2.He must of liked them enough to buy them both.At the price levels,for me, I would like to think there was more than a paperthin layer of veneer.I do not believe that Andy lives at the beach either.I would be more partial to the Heresy IV's since I have heard  Heresy's[older models] before and liked what they were doing.
Did not mean to get anyone's panties in a wad.
Most importantly ALL
