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.
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.

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 |
My Heresy IIIs have always provided astonishingly resolved imaging and meet or exceed my personal standards for clarity and coherence. They need good gear in front of them of course, but they reveal a tremendous amount of detail in good recordings and are simply great high end honest speakers. Used with my 2 REL subs anyway...the IVs didn't meet these standards for me in spite of others claiming some improvement over the IIIs, but I don't listen with any ears but my own and clearly take other's (especially an audio gear dealers) opinions of speakers with a large grain of salt. |
