Klipsch Heresy IV

The whole delusion about loosing detail or quickness with a ported design is unfounded.  You will have perceptibly less bass output with a sealed system, thereby emphasizing the attack over the fundamentals and overtones.  What is lost is often the freedom of the lower midrange and bass that tend to expand out and energize a room when played live.  A lot of the energy is often in the recordings, but too many audiophiles tune it out in favor of an Uber Detailed sound.  Real music has power, physicality and it fills the acoustic space with vibrant resonances.  Taming the source material by overdamping a speaker to accentuate leading edge definition is foolish and not in pursuit of the Real Sound!

I don't get the comments that Heresy IIIs (or IVs) might not have the "uber detailed" sound of more precious designs...balderdash! I've owned a lot of those more typical (read expensive) designs, and the Heresy keeps up with and even surpasses all of those to my tastes anyway. I've noticed the closeness of the drivers in Heresy IIIs as something that might contribute to the coherency of the things...from the center of the tweeter to a few inches into the woofer cone is around 8 inches...less if measured from the lower opening of the tweeter horn, and far tighter dimensions than most any other wide range 3 ways...same with the IVs.

Hope they sound good... I have a Parasound amp (250wpc) and I'm using a Denon 3808 to steer the remainder of the system.  

The Hersey's will be the fronts driven by the Parasound.  

We'll see if they REALLY sound good late at night when the volume is not so high

Heresy’s always had fantastic detail!  Nice compact music maker...actually preferred them to any Harberth speakers.  My 4429’s actually remind me of the Heresy’s I had, but with a larger and more commanding presentation. 

Andrew Robinson on a  Youtube Shootout  liked the Heresy IV's over the new JBL L100 reissues.
