I've had Heresy IIIs (Capitol Records version) for a few years and love the things. I tried a pair of IVs (figuring they would be better) and didn't like them at all although they're really well built...some upper mid frequency anomaly drove me nuts (the plastic midrange diaphragm on a re-designed horn is what I suspect is the culprit...the IIIs have a completely different titanium longer throat mid horn) so I sold them off. Same with ZU DWs...they sounded lame compared to the Heresy IIIs so back they went. The IIIs amaze me every day, and maybe just thrive on good gear in front...Schiit Freya preamp with an SEP tube or Pass XA 25 amp work perfectly in my rig.
Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2
Hey guys, looking for opinions on Zu and Klipsch Heritage speakers. I really like the looks of both brands, and am seeking a speaker that will work well with live concerts (Phish/Dead) for my living room system. Any pros and cons to be aware of? Any others worth cross shopping? Also leaning towards the smaller models because I can’t have too much bass extension due to neighbors.
