Forte IV has almost the same footprint as the Heresy, so if you can swing a few extra $$, I'd recommend them over the Heresy. Sounded great w/175 wpc class AB amp and tube pre; even better w/30 wpc class A. Don't let anybody sway you with the adage that "they're best w/low power tubes"; IMO not true at all.
Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2
Hey guys, looking for opinions on Zu and Klipsch Heritage speakers. I really like the looks of both brands, and am seeking a speaker that will work well with live concerts (Phish/Dead) for my living room system. Any pros and cons to be aware of? Any others worth cross shopping? Also leaning towards the smaller models because I can’t have too much bass extension due to neighbors.

For those interested in the Heresy 4's try some Dyna Mat damping on the mid and tweeter horns sections. They definitely help to smooth out the mid and upper ranges. Less "shouty".... more relaxed presentation, but still maintains the lively and dynamic presentation that the Klipsch's are known for.

@fatdaddy2 +1 And with the Forte IV there would be no sub needed which might help the OP as well. But, those low-slung Heresy IV are really cool as decor, too... but then so are the Forte. |
I gave the dirty weekends a 60 day trial and returned them. But not for lack of bass. If you don't want your room to rock, I suggest you don't get them. I had to get footers to isolate the speakers to keep my room from rattling. I actually thought they lacked treble presence. I know a fellow who loves the previous model for listening to '60s and '70s rock music. I never heard the Heresy's. |
Ever consider Omega. They are single drivers and are super efficient. I have a Pair of their Super Alnico 6” XRS and it rocks with my Primaluna Dialoge Premium running on EL34 Tubes. They are not shouty at all and super fast and detailed. Also great at low volumes, you still get all the detail and textures. Bass is quite good also. |
