Klipsch Heritage speakers are absolutely considered viable and competitive by many discerning ears, and those who've "been around the block" should maybe get off the street, go back in the house, and listen to these things. If it's clear and coherent sound that represents an ideal relative to other designs, Heresy IIIs have that in spades...It's obvious that nothing penetrates a closed mind, and I admit my experience hearing horns of various designs in friends hifi rigs and at shows over the years still kept me somewhat in the elitist, price driven world of dismissing Klipsch as being second rate ("nice, but not expensive enough")...until I listened to Heresy IIIs in my own rig...they're world class regardless of the dismissive nonsense from the clueless.
