Of course they are different. That’s what the discussion was meant to share is the differences. I thought Audiogon was the place for responses but I’m amazed at how little enthuiests respond. Seems like everyone’s into discussing problems and tech stuff rather than listening. BTW HELLO! yourself!.
Magnepan is better in everything save dynamics . Also needs at least 200 w a side to hear what maggies can do . 9 times out of 10 an acoustic music fan will buy the .7, a rocker the Heresy .
I think what is being said here is that these two speakers are so different it’s like chocolate and vanilla, both are good flavors. its really a matter of personal preference as to which you prefer. do you really need a bunch of opinions other than your own? Okay some people like both (flavors / sounds) and switch speakers and components in and out from time to time just to switch things up. Variety is the spice of life.
Have fun and go listen for yourself and report back your findings I bet you would have a good discussion then,.
The Heresy is more fun to listen to, especially with great tube amplification. I'm using HIII with 40w of el34 power and it's more than plenty. My brother uses his HIi with a 15 watt amp , and still plenty of power.... 15 watts
I will take the efficient speaker, low powered amp combo any day.
I already posted a lengthy review of the two speakers compared, sharing the differences along with a video since I have both. Since nobody replied, I simply deleted the post. Then others responded (rather ironic).
