The Heresy is a much better speaker honed over decades. Whizzer cones are a cheap inaccurate way of making treble. The crossover between the woofer cone and the whizzer is mechanical. Only the whizzer is producing treble as the woofer cone can not move fast enough but, the whizzer is still moving with the bass, doppler distorting everything it does. However, you do not have to add an electronic crossover and another driver. Cheap. IMHO the Omegas are all about profit. The Heresy's were designed by a man who was truly passionate about sound. The Cornwall and Heresy are Klipsch's best speakers and they represent great values. You will lover the Heresy's. They sound like a much larger loudspeaker. Add subwoofers and a 2 way crossover down the line and you will be rocking for sure!
Klipsch Heresy IV vs Omega CAM
Hi all,
I have a Luxman SQ-N150 amp and I’m debating between the Klipsch Heresy IV and the Omega CAM. Obviously different prices, sizes and design philosophies but I’m wondering which would suit my needs better. I listen to all genres from hip hop to jazz to classical to indie and classic rock. Also, I live in an apartment so I tend to listen at low volumes. Do both speakers satisfy at low listening volumes? Will the Klipsch be a bother to neighbors? I know they still have quite a bit of low end roll off. Further info: Listening distance is around 7-8’ feet and they’ll have to be against a wall with about 7-8’ between the speakers. Any other thoughts on soundstage/clarity/vibe between the two?
Any help is appreciated.
