Klipsch Heresy IV

Anthem is high quality gear, but maybe not exactly what I was suggesting. 

In my system, I have a Marantz AV7704 for home theater.  I have a five channel amp that powers the center and four surround speakers.

I also have monoblocks that drive my 2 main speakers and a separate preamp for two channel listening.  For two channel listening, the home theater processor is not in use.  The preamp has a home theater bypass function that sends the signal from the pre pro to the main speakers while using the monoblocks to power them for home theater use.

Hope that helps.

Yes it does and thank you. The research goes on.

I know that speaker placement is critical with these speakers and I will have to place one of them in front of a glass door.  This door is the fixed part of a sliding glass outside door.


Should that be a problem?

Low frequencies might rattle your door but highs are tossed out from horn speakers to the extent that reflection is less of an issue.

Having read a long article about what Alon Wolf thinks about sealed vs. non sealed speakers I feel better about my completely sealed system of Heresy IIIs with 2 RELs. I get that the IVs have many other improvements beyond porting, but Alon makes sense as he feels the bass boost at low levels can be out of scale at higher levels...I suppose the port can be plugged, but, again, my IIIs sound so good I'd have to do some serious side by side comparison to decide to switch to IVs, and I currently get a great sounding adjustable low bass from my 2 REL subs.
