Brian,
The 70W output of the Prima Luna HP is insufficient to hear what is possible from the Focus 140s. I owned a pair of the 140s when they were first released a few years back. Dynaudio specs state power handling as 200W. Give them at least 150W-200W and you may very well find a new appreciation for and enjoyment of them. If you are dead set on keeping the Prima Luna the you can do better than the Heresy's. I have heard them, can't remember the amplification, and they sounded overly revealing to the point of being fatiguing, especially at higher volumes.

Limited high and low extention and can be a bit honky. Mods can improve them and tubes help. At low levels they can engage.  Even though they can play loud they tend towards sounding hard, forced and lose resolution.

I enjoyed them for late night mid 70db listening but sold them due to their limitations. BTW, my experience is with the 1 and 2 models.

Thanks Bill will do that

Brian,

I do not have Heresy III's but do own Heresy I's and Heresy II's.  Both sound wonderful in their locations and with their respective gear.  My HI's are in a spare bedroom(13'Lx13'Wx10'H) being driven with a NAD AVR T773 and CD player C542.  Horns not overwhelming or brittle and bass is sufficient for most music but adding a fast/punchy subwoofer can help.  I find this rig to be very revealing and punchy with pretty "accurate" tones.  I have found that the HI's as well as HII's are not too selective with amplification and excel well with 50w/ch tubes as well as 250W/ch SS.  

Of course this is my experience but do yourself a favor and head over to the Klipsch Forum and more specifically the "2-Channel Home Audio" and "Talkin' Tubes" sections and propose your questions.
