Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2

@fatdaddy2  +1  And with the Forte IV  there would be no sub needed which might help the OP as well.  But, those low-slung Heresy IV are really cool as decor, too... but then so are the Forte. 

I gave the dirty weekends a 60 day trial and returned them. But not for lack of bass. If you don't want your room to rock, I suggest you don't get them. I had to get footers to isolate the speakers to keep my room from rattling. I actually thought they lacked treble presence.  I know a fellow who loves the previous model for listening to '60s and '70s rock music. I never heard the Heresy's. 

Ever consider Omega. They are single drivers and are super efficient. I have a Pair of their Super Alnico 6” XRS and it rocks with my Primaluna Dialoge Premium running on EL34 Tubes. They are not shouty at all and super fast and detailed. Also great at low volumes, you still get all the detail and textures. Bass is quite good also.  

I ordered a pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors for a second system.   I owned Heresy III and now own Forte IV.     I really liked the H3 and went to listen to the H4 when they came out.  I ended up buying  the Forte , it is the same footprint as the H4.  

I really like the Forte IV ,  I'm running them with a 300b and its a great combo.  I should have the Omega in a few weeks.  Will be interesting to hear them in my main system first ...

I just wanted to get something completely different for room 2 so I took a chance on Omega.    Hopefully they will be a good fit with the Cyrus amp I ordered.   Hoping for a compact system that sounds great and doesn't break the bank.  

I heard the Zu’s and was kinda disappointed.  I loved the way they looked but they sounded much different then I was expecting.  Very raw and lacking in refinement. Almost like older car speakers from the 80’s/90’s. I’m going to see if I can test the Heresy’s this weekend but my expectations aren’t too high now. I’m not sure if I’m a high sensitivity speaker fan.  It’s probably just a negative first impression, and I’m not sure I gave the Zu’s enough time but I tried several types of music and nothing hit home. Oh well it was still fun trying new stuff. Hopefully I’ll come across another pair at some point but as for now they are out.
