Klipsch Heresy vs Forte


For those who may be debating between the two, I just posted this last night. I actually like the voices in the Heresy. Deeper presentation but they each have their attributes. Happy listening

Here’s a new demo of all the Heritage compared. Obviously the Khorns aren’t placed ideally. It’s amazing how small the Heresy IV sound by comparison. Room is huge though.

I bought a pair of Forte IVs last spring and recently picked up a Manley Stingray II integrated amp. It’s a fantastic combo.

Like @bjesien I never thought I’d own a pair of Klipsch, but these are keepers. 

 

Wow great video. I think this fleshed out the differences much better than the one Steve Huff did. The La Scala and Forte were the most impressive. I think the Khorns could have been placed a little better. Really loved the sound of the La Scalas, I do think I’ll get a pair someday. I’m more than happy with my Fortes for now, especially after that video, they held their own over the pricier models and had the best balance top to bottom.  The Cornwalls were a bit bass heavy which muddied the mids somewhat. Probably the best with certain types of music and movies. And the Heresy is so much like a baby Cornwall. Fun!!!

Playing with different tubes and enjoying the Forte IV’s. Might explore the tweaks, why not. These are fun. What have you done?
