Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?

A review of the heresy III's from a reviewer that I have bought products on his recommendation/s with no ill affects. Basically I have trusted him since the 90's.

I own a pair of H-IIIs (and four pairs of pricier speakers) and I mostly agree with his assessments.

For low-volume, late-night listening, the H-IIIs with a 20 watt tube amp are hard to beat. 

Any speaker at the $2K price point has strengths and considerable weaknesses. What the H-IIIs lack in bass extension they more than make up for with bass speed and definition. What they lack in refinement they make up for with a lively and dynamic sound. 

I have had several older Klipsch as well as their latest Heresy
the titanium drivers are very decent , the connectors ,wiring and Xover
suck bad cheap junk no name parts .

So now Clarity Caps are "cheap junk no name" parts? Funny.

Interesting that he is saying " if you like female vocal, like Diana Krall, or other female vocals like her, I can see using this speaker ".

That statement, along with the fact he's a CV fan, just proves he hasn't much experience with really good speakers. The Heresys are respectable with vocals at their price point, but they're far less refined in that regard than a good British monitor, even after damping the horns. 

^The current Heritage line is not bright by today's standards. They're certainly no brighter than the average B&W, Focal, Paradigm, Monitor Audio or Revel speaker. 

^They are capable of some things you can't get from your precious Harbeths. On balance, they are just as good, but with different strengths. 

Well, with any Heresy speaker, you can still get bass punch at 60db. That's not the case with most speakers.

The H1s are not H3s, even with Crites upgrades. Speakers like the SHL5 don't come anywhere close to offering as good dynamics at low SPLs. That's a trait that takes very high efficiency. I'm a big fan of British speakers but they too have weaknesses.
