Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?
mrdecibel 2,549 posts 01-20-2022 3:36pm I am a Klipsch Heritage guy. Have you damped the horns ( mids and tweets ) and the woofer baskets ? Crossover, too. Cleans them up considerably. Heresy IIs can use subwoofer help with the lowest octave. W...

caryking 18 posts 01-20-2022 11:56am I bought the KLH Model 5’s.  I’m sending them back as they didn’t meet my expectations.  I recognized the positives of the speaker (reviewers have talked about the positives); however, the negatives were far...

Thank you for sharing that. Yea I’ve seen all the YouTube videos but prefer to hear others opinions who don’t have a vested interest in subscribers.   
Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?
Oh no there’s no issues there. I’ve posted plenty of videos and reviews on them already. I prefer the sound of the Heresy the way they are already. Not looking to change them, just curious how the KLH sound. For example if they sound like a more c...

May I ask what amp etc you drove them with?   
Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies?
I used the Parasound A23 Halo with my 1.7 Maggie’s And was blown away at how much power it had. More than enough power on tap. Bass sounded super clean, tight and controlled. I used an Aretha tube preamp. The newer A23+ has even more power than ol...

How to fuse bypass in Magnepan 1.7i
Interesting. Does anyone have photos of what this all looks like before and after? Difficult to visualize what’s going on here.  
Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question?
Thanks guys. Wow  
Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question?
I thought all Maggie’s basically had ribbon tweeters. Am I missing something?  
Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question?
p. 9 of the PDF instruction manual on the .7 only appears to attenuate the top end  so it’s more rolled off. I don’t want that. I want the opposite. I want more treble.   
Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question?
No but sources online indicate that the fuses are to attenuate the top end to roll it off, so I never bothered to try it.  
Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
That’s what I needed to hear. Thanks for the advice.   
Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
Okay I applied curtains and perhaps that wasn't enough. Are you suggesting that if I were to treat the rear wall more, it might allow the speakers to sound a bit more focused with voices or horns perhaps? I'm open to thoughts.
