Klipsch speaker choices
The RF series are good for home theater and occasional two channel listening.  The RF7s and RF83 will play loud and will rock, but there are much better speakers out there for not much more.  If you want speakers that will play loud and be more la...

What are you streaming tonight?
The Doors - The Soft Parade 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition - Qobuz Hi-Res.  This is really cool, some of the alternate versions are great.Jeff Lynne's ELO - From Out of Nowhere - Qobuz Hi-Res 
What are the best bang for the buck on higher end headphones?
One of the cool things about headphones for me is that it's like having a bunch of different sounding speakers that do different things well.  When I want to hear a lot of detail, I get out the HD800.  When I want to hear some bass and midrange, I... 
What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
I have been listening to Klipsch for over 30 years and they just arent my cup of tea. But you keep listening to them?  I don't get it.I do get that the Klipsch sound is not for everyone and have no interest in trying to convince someone that t...

What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
There's a bit of hyperbole in both of the previous quoted statements.  Klipsch speakers are abundant and there are a number of sources for upgrade parts.  My KLF-30 speakers were a lot easier to listen to after I replaced the original tweeters wit...

Is it even possible to set up a system in 12x12 room?
I have a small system in my computer room which is about the same size as your room.  My computer desk is right up against the front wall, so I'm very near field.  I have the speakers in the front corners of the room, about 1 foot from the wall an...

Duke,I have 4 different systems set up throughout my house.  My main system has 4 subs in it (plus a HSU mid-bass module I engage for movies).  The other systems all have one sealed sub each.  I'm in a good situation where my girlfriend and I both... 
Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene
Congratulations Duke!  I think it's well deserved, and whether it's "unique" or not, who cares.  You brought something to market that's affordable and from all accounts, works great.  I've yet to hear of one person that said "yeah, I tried it but ...

This morning it was Little Feat - The Last Record Album. An underrated release (at least by Allmusic) 
What would be involved in updating Hersey II’s to Hersey IV’s?
Since the Heresy IV isn't out yet and there are no specs on the Klipsch site yet (that I could find), it's a bit of conjecture.  I think I read in one of the threads about the Heresy IV that it will be a ported model, so I think you would have to ...

Klipsch speaker choices
If you're referring to the height of the Heresy cabinet when you use the word "shortness", they are designed to be on the floor.  They are on risers that are tilted up, so yes, they can create a great soundstage.  I tried mine out in my main syste...
