Heresy's II Finally Sound Right-sorry if there's a place i should have put this post....

Bought some Heresy IIs off a guy on craigslist in Boston, $400, great shape. I read they should be re-cap'd by Bob Crites so i sent in and picked up some titanium tweeters too. The boards were redone and i put them in along with the new tweeters. Sounded better but pretty flat... But i was using a Rotel A12 Receiver with 60wpc and a great reputation for being quality yet affordable integrated SS amp (probably some snickers from the real audiophiles on here...). It was ok. I "upgraded" to the A14 Rotel at 80wpc, same results. Then i realized what everyone was talking about with the efficiency of the Klipsch speakers not needing a ton of power, and they Loved tube amps. So not being a rich dude, i picked up the Yaquin 13S after reading some terrific reviews. I know it has it's drawbacks in flexibility, but the 40wpc feeding the Heresy II's is simply astounding. I FINALLY stood there, with a grin on my face and said "Are you F$%i Kidding Me?" out loud. That magic feeling. And that's with just $400 speakers, $150 recap/tweeter, $700 tube amp, ~$1,400 (at the time) integrated SS amp, so say $2750 all in. I'm one happy 2 Channel Listener.

And BTW, for all those that say the Heresy's have no bass, well they do, and it's just right for my listening tastes (not a club or hip hop listener). As far a flexibility of the yaquin, maybe i'm missing something but i don't think i can plug in the Klipsch subwoofer i have to it. It's a powered sub so if i could just find a connection for it even on the Rotel i'd be happy but apparenlty using the Pre-Outs for the Yaquin means i'm out of options. Not that i need the sub anyways as i was saying. I don't mind nixing kit from the room.
