Heretic Loudspeakers out of Canada


Does anyone know what happed to Heretic? Looks like they are out of business.

Yes, their webpage looks like a memorial. Too many companies and too few customers. Looks like they were an Altec inspired product.

From their Facebook page, posted today. I suppose no one knows how to use google. 

"Heretic suspended operations for the time being, as our founder and heretic guide is recovering from a long illness. Repairs and service are not affected. Further information will follow."

Weren't really my taste but the build quality was solid.   Tough climate for niche audio in general.  Hopefully they fully open again soon.

Well then maybe they shouldn't have done made it look the way they did on their webpage.

No idea don't really care as I've never heard of them, i was just using google to assist the OP since they didn't know how. 

I think they look very cool and reviews seem to like 'em (Herb Reichert reviewed them). I'd like to try a pair of the smaller ones sometime...7 grand or so is a little pricey but they seem well built...

I think Fidelis is the US distributor for these.    No longer on their site.   They were built really well.   They didn't really wow me but I think it had a lot to do with the set up

I have the Segovia AD613 model, and talk almost daily with owner during June and July, He has a condition but will write what he told me:

Hi, sorry for the late reply…  I have a condition that affects the nerves. I had it for a couple of years, but now it makes it impossible to work…  I try to find someone to take over, but it’s not easy…

I am sorry I did not take time to answer before, I was unable to use the keyboard. 

Business is open. 

Two things: me, I own the trademnarks and designs, and IP, etc.

The manufacturing, electronics, etc., is a seperate business, also in operation

Service, tech, woodshop, etc., all operational

But I am not able to act as capitain.

life is fragile.

 

Very responsive and kind guy, he helped me a lot with amplifiers and cabling, he has a huge knowledge.

Hope We can see new website open pretty soon.
