Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?

Not interested in anything else at this time other than your opinion of how these two differ. Room is 12x15 and mainly listening to jazz for the most part, some classical and some occasional rock. I hear reports that the KLH has bigger soundstage, bigger bass, better imaging. Can others comment if they think this is correct. I currently have the Heresy II and was thinking about taking a chance on the KLH model 5 because of all the good reviews on YouTube but haven’t really discussed in a forum yet. Thanks for any thoughts or opinions.

Ive had the KLH model 5 and the heresy 4 and the cornwall iv … the klh 5 are absolutely the better speakers. Full, controlled, non fatigueing… the mids are amazing and they scale really really well. Also the klh imaging is far superior - in my room.

At one point before the Model 5 released, the designer and the KLH rep (at the time) brought them to our store.   Assuming the production models are the same (they look identical), they were excellent speakers.  Not a fan of the look personally, but the sound was extremely musical and non fatiguing.  Very balanced sound with great soundstage and bass.  Dramatically better than their other speakers (Kendall etc) which were absolutely awful.  I don't think they were designed by the same person.

We are not KLH dealer, never have been, and wont be.  So just giving props where they are due.  Great speaker.
