Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?


Not interested in anything else at this time other than your opinion of how these two differ. Room is 12x15 and mainly listening to jazz for the most part, some classical and some occasional rock. I hear reports that the KLH has bigger soundstage, bigger bass, better imaging. Can others comment if they think this is correct. I currently have the Heresy II and was thinking about taking a chance on the KLH model 5 because of all the good reviews on YouTube but haven’t really discussed in a forum yet. Thanks for any thoughts or opinions.

Andrew Robinson really liked them....but he liked the Heresy better.   These are KLH in name only......Henry is long gone,    They used to be right down the street from me in Westwood MA.  That was in the 80's.     One of the last speakers they made worth mentioning is the KLH Computer Controlled Loudspeaker.  Three models.   I have a pair of Model 2.   They were pretty good ,  

 

Its probably a good speaker but they are counting on name recognition to be successful in my opinion.   Think Altec Lansing  ......  

See that one guy sends them back , the next guys loved them.  It’s a very personal decision, choosing a speaker.   Same with other gear but more so with speakers.   Hopefully they are a success and we see a model 9 !    My Dad had Model 12 when I was 5 and I drew on them with a crayon...... I get reminded of that occasionally
