Klipsch Heresy vs Forte

Forte, much more open, bigger soundstage.  For this particular song I can see why you might prefer the Heresy, it does a better job recreating the vintage characteristics of the original mono recording.  

I wonder why they got rid of the Quartet, there's plenty of room price wise between the Heresy at 3,200 and Forte at 5k, its actually a bigger price gap then the Forte to the Cornwall (6,600), especially when expressed as a % increase.  Worried it would cannibalize Heresy & Forte sales? 

Getting back to the original video, I think the main takeaway for me is that the older models represent some incredible used bargains, especially if they can be found in pristine condition like the ones in the video.

The entire IV series has the upgraded mid-range horns.  If that's not your cup of tea skip the Forte IV.  I think many would agree it was a welcome change, but you can't please all the people all the time. 

Wow great video. I think this fleshed out the differences much better than the one Steve Huff did. The La Scala and Forte were the most impressive. I think the Khorns could have been placed a little better. Really loved the sound of the La Scalas, I do think I’ll get a pair someday. I’m more than happy with my Fortes for now, especially after that video, they held their own over the pricier models and had the best balance top to bottom.  The Cornwalls were a bit bass heavy which muddied the mids somewhat. Probably the best with certain types of music and movies. And the Heresy is so much like a baby Cornwall. Fun!!!
