Klipsch Heresy IV

I picked up a set of H3's last Dec (2019) and am really enjoying them. now the 4's are out at double the price yikes.... they better be better. may have to sell my 3's and get the 4's I wanted a wood finish aposed to the black anyway.... haha yeah that's the excuse I'm using.

I'd may look at the H3's mods though first. 

I payed $1600 new Canadian for my Heresy 3’s yes they were on sale regular list price in Canada is I believe $2200. the 4’s are $4k. Electronics for Less has them for $2200 each. sigh...…...so yes double. hopping for a sale or discount later in the year maybe. or La Scala’s mmmm La Scala’s

If you have Heresy 3’s (or any of their heritage line) an easy tip dyi is horn and cabinet damping. get some Dynamat 2’x4’ sheet is enough for both speakers. put it on all the back side of the horn drivers to damp the horns. also damp the bass driver’s metal frame. that will use half the sheet use the rest to put on the inside back, side and top of the cabinet. you don’t need full sheets on the inside of the cabinet I just use 5"x12" strips on the sides and top and a 12"x"12 on the back just behind the midrange and tweeter.
this will help immensely with detail retrieval, cabinet resonance issues (somewhat I’d rather put in braces but this is easy for now) and focus. cost me $120 for the Dynamat, a screwdriver and a couple hours of time.

I’m betting that would help all Klipsch heritage speakers from any year. damping the horns is really noticeable.

I found the dynamat at a car audio installation shop home depot I believe has it on their website too. 

I may get a new crossover with better parts as well GR research has some interesting DYI upgrade products. oh they have a full upgrade kit for the Forte 3 as well supposed to be excellent and includes the damping mat, braces and crossovers.
