Some good recommendations above. There are so many great solid state power amps available that tubes should be left for preamps and sources, ime, if you want some warmth and coloration. You need to damp the mid and high frequency horns and the woofer baskets using a Dynamat type material and use self-adhesive sealing tape (used for doors/windows) for the rear panels (between the cabinets and rear panels for a better cabinet seal. Upgrade the crossovers using Crites, get a fast subwoofer (or two), and experiment with raising them off the floor with good solid stands (I prefer the Heresy elevated). BTW, I consider myself quite knowledgeable and experienced with Klipsch, specifically the Heritage line. If PRAT is important to you, solid state is the way to go. You need to determine what sq attributes and characteristics are most important to you. My best, MrD.
Amp for Vintage Heresy
Hey All,
I just picked up a pair of Heresy 1s for my home office / creative studio.
Currently I’m running a WiiM Pro plus to a NAD 316bee.
It sounds fine but it could be better. needs more Pratt!
I listen to classic rock, acoustic and good country and stream on Qobuz,
Considering either going vintage (maybe a restored dynamo st-70 , a SET 300b (maybe chinahifi), or something else…
like schiit Freya+ and Aegir , push pull el34 or kt88 integrated, or recommend something!
I’m not happy with the WiiM so considering getting a Allo Katana Player
My reference system which I like is Nola Boxer s3, Tsakiridis Aeolos Plus, Schiit Bifrost2, Allo DigiOne Signature, Project Debut Carbon Evo, Projrect Phono
thanks guys!
