Although I’m a klipsch fanatic, I would say to pass on the Heresy in your situation. 7 ft is pretty close and horns need a little distance between you and them. That said, I would also look for something without a rear port, so I’d pass on the Omegas too. Since your room is small and you are almost near field, maybe even a sealed box. Bass will be less and tighter but less likely to annoy the neighbors.
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.
