I'm going to post my negative opinion about the iv's. I do see that everyone posting here seems to have really positive things to say. Pro is the high sensitivity so you don't really need a beefy amp (although it couldn't hurt). I did like the natural sound they provided. They are highy dynamic. Cons however made me return them. They take up a lot of room in terms of width. I didn't like the floor and tilt up sound. I prefer the tweeter ear level. The midrange was a bit leaner than what I prefer (I may just prefer more warmth in general). The bass was good but I wouldn't call it tight. Ultimately I wound up returning them. Most people that love them seem to comment that they are like listening to live music and so some of the "flaws" are acceptable. Ie if you criticize it on all the details you are missing the point. They are just meant to play. Hope this helps...
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
Hi all. New here this is my first post. I am mulling over very seriously the Heresy iv's. I have heard some very good things about them. I would like to get the advice on any of you here who own them as to what the listener experience is with these speakers. I really want to pull the trigger on these speakers but here in Canada with taxes in they are close to 5K. I want them to be my last set ever. Right now I have a set of Proac Studio 118s. They are real nice But the Klipsch are calling me bad. Lol. I have a Rega Apollo cd player and a Nad M3 amp along with Van Den Hul inter connects and speaker cables. I have heard that the Heresy's real make the music come to life with a terrific impact. Any input from Heresy iv owners would be greatly appreciated.

The ZU Omen 2 "Dirty Weekend" speakers, at least compared to the Heresy IIIs I've owned for years, had a sort of midrange "veil" or lack of what I seem to need in ultimate clarity. I even swapped in a good MOSFET amp (to compare to my trusty tubed single ended pentode Dennis Had "Firebottle") I have for a second pair of deck specific speakers and had the same issues, so back went the ZUs...note ZU was great to work with...nice guys. My issues with the IVs could have been specific to that pair although unlikely, so my theory regarding the perhaps "better for me" last generation titanium mid horns still stands. I might be the only one who feels that way, but I do get some satisfaction from the fact that I now am even more happy with the IIIs. |
Perfecting this over time is largely what makes the newer Heresy’s pretty unique sounding especially at their price point, and especially at lower volumes. Compression driver - Wikipedia |
