Questions to Klipsch Heresy IV owners

Hi

I like to listen to music at low volume. But I think my current speakers sounds boring and lifeless when I turn the volume down. So I’m considering buying Klipsch Heresy IVs, but I have some questions.

Which speakers did you have before and how did the listening experience change?
Differences in soundstage? Not only width, but height and depth too.
What amplifier do you use?
Do they really need 500 hours of burn in to sound their best?

I’ve seen some calling Heresy IV a more “even” and “smooth” speaker” compared to Heresy III. And being a little less a “rock’n’roll” speaker, but instead a more “allround” speaker.
Can anyone confirm that?

A good friend of mine, who is now 89 years old, bought some original Heresy's that are in beautiful condition, on integrated stands that are beautiful as well. He was not happy with them at first, so he made some inquiries regarding the crossovers and wiring, he was then able to rewire them until they sounded to his liking.

I came over to visit him, and brought my new 3C24 tube amp with me and hooked it up to his Heresy's, and I was floored by what I heard. I spent hours with him, just enjoying every minute.

I know this probably not what you were hoping to hear, but I was very impressed by what I heard. I think whatever Heresy you wind up with, you will have someting quite good to work with, there is an untold amount of knowledge available for the Heresy line so there's undoubtably a good future ahaead of you.

Dan
