Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?


His passionate hatred for Heresy's and other Klipsch speakers made me laugh.

I own Audio Research electronics (purchased used on the Gon), Focal & B&W speakers — what most would consider audiophile gear that delivers a refined, transparent window to the studio recording.  My wife and I moved into a new townhouse 1 year ago, and after considerable research/reflection, I purchased Klipsch Heresy IIIs and a Coincident Dynamo 8 wpc SET ($3500 new total cost) for a second system in a small 12x14x8 den/library for late night listening sessions.  I chose the Heresy because I wanted something that could be placed close to the wall, has limited tweeter dispersion so as to limit interaction with the room, and sounds good at low volume.  I like that these squatty fat boys won’t be knocked over by a dog or grandchild.  I am thoroughly enjoying the music in this room! Such big dynamic live sound from fairly small speakers. For the type of music I listen to, 40Hz low end extension is all that is needed. The H-IIIs don’t get much below 50 Hz, but the bass they do provide is articulate, with low distortion.  I haven’t decided whether to add a small subwoofer.  I have however decided to part with my Audio Research and Focal gear and alternatively set up a home theater , and to get a McIntosh tube preamp with tone controls for my den to help compensate for poor/bright recordings. Perhaps the Heresy’s are not audiophile speakers.  Don’t care. For this music lover, their shortcomings are far far outweighed by what they bring to this room.
