      Just ordered the Heresy III brand new.These were hard to find here in EU. Everyone was only offering the IV: Dont want the port and too expensive for me. Currently running KEF Q900. Haven't heard horns before, at least here in my apartment. I also have.a SVS PB2000 subwoofer and minidsp + Audyssey XT 32 (Denon X3500H). I think i will be fine with the "lower" base. I wanted the III because its sealed. Should get them in a week, will be planning on raising them about 40cm. Main reason and the "aha" moment to get these was the appreciation and realisation of the importance of a tight mid base slam and the "speed" these should give. I usually listen pretty quiet during the evening, around 75db + dynamic EQ at -15 offset. (about 8db hot). Hey Z, what do you think? Will i get an improvement or a paradigm shift? 😎

    I have the Heresy IIIs, and use them as maxi-bookshelves with a sub. They work great. They will go to "death ray" levels if you ask them to, but they are pretty amazing. I find that they portray acoustic percussion in an incredibly realistic way. I run them full range, with the sub coming in to boost up the low frequencies. The sealed version certainly rolls off below 60 hertz, and needs a sub to get the slam we'd want as modern listener.

    I own the original Heresy's and I'm well versed in the heritage series from Klipsch. Take the speakers down off the ridiculous pedestals for starters, Next situate the speakers each in a corner and utilize the room dynamics acoustically as Paul Klipsch had originally intended, as with all the heritage series speakers all you need is two separate corners and the wedges you had under them originally trust me on this you will rediscover those speakers.

    Originally. the Heresy was intended as a center fill speaker for use with a pair of Klipschorns. As such it was designed for low distortion from the mid-bass up and to let the big folded corner horns do the heavy lifting for the deep bass. The Heresy [I] to III were sealed boxes, acoustic suspension/smallish infinite baffles. The story is that when Paul W. Klipsch was designing this speaker with a direct firing woofer without a bass horn it was heresy, hence the name. Yeah, old dude here.

    It’s nice to see Z reviewing klipsch heritage 👍🏼
    a klipsch hereitage line review is incomplete without a tube amp imo though. Tubes and klipsch go hand in hand.
    Putting my pair of heresy 1’s on stands and in the corners made a huge difference in soundstage and bass in my living room. They were on the floor and against the wall before and they were uninspiring.
    But even in their new position you can still tell exactly where the low frequency cuts out and there’s just nothing below that point.
    So unless you’re ok with missing a significant portion of the information in your recordings below the cut off point, you need subs.
    But if you’re going to add subs, might as well get Cornwall’s. And if you’re putting Cornwall’s in the corners, you might as well get klipschorns. 🤷🏻‍♂️ which is what I ended up doing.
    Problem is my used klipschorns cost me the same as this new pair of heresy iv’s. Actually less when you factor in the subwoofers and stands.
    That’s the problem with klipsch. I love klipsch and have for my whole audiophile career. But the vintage heritage line are so robust and last forever. For me it doesn’t justify spending 10x more on a new pair. If you have the space I recommend used Cornwall’s or klipschorns. La scalas and belles run into the same bass problem as the heresies.

Forte III throws rocks at you if fast paced music is played. But in both, instrument separation is phenomenal besides other attributes. It’s hard hard not to fall in love with heresy.

    Last summer I spent a nice chunk of that time repairing/refurbishing a sansui sp-5500x that I got for pretty cheap. The cross over needed new caps, the woofers needed work before their surrounds were completely gone and the all of the horns were blown. Caps were an easy fix spare the horse glue holding down the old rubicon and the woofer was salvagable even though they used While I was able to find replacement parts for the squawker/tweeter horns I could not find an original replacement part for the super tweeter horn but I found a set of super tweeters that uses the same driver material found in the larger horn and the super tweeter and normal tweeter have matching sound signatures so it worked out far better than I ever anticipated in the end. Anyways I have to agree, there is something to three-ways and large speakers like this. Those drivers simply do not move as much as you expect them to move and having each driver doing less just leads to the whole thing sounding so clean. I can see why klipsch makes these style of speakers still as does JBL in their synthesis line.

    Your frequency balance problems when you put them on stands was probably because you put them on stands. That put the horns directly on ear axis, for one, and more importantly, you lost several dB of bass because you were no longer getting floor reinforcement of those frequencies.

    Been following reviews for the Heresy IVs for a while and this is the best review so far. Some reviewers said to match these with a tube amp to temper the brightness; Zeo's better, cheaper solution? DSP. Some reviewers have said it's not the best for modern music but good enough bass, and only excellent for the type of music they prefer; Zeo's solution? Cheap dual/sub. Efficiency discrepancy between horns and woofs at high volumes? Bi-amp w/ DSP and subs.
    Tells you exactly what you need (or what you don't) for what you want out of these speakers.. even numbers for dsp. All are affordable options too. Great fk'n review.. only criticism is no upside down demo lol. I really need to start saving up for these D:

    The Heresy have amazing low end set up correctly, in the corners, on the floor angled up, and with vaulted ceilings, thereby effectively turning the room's floor and walls into extensions of the horns and virtually horn-loading the woofer. Properly harnessed, Heresy bass sounds fast, like a giant electrostatic subwoofer.

      @gaza4543 Před rokem

      I agree with this though make no mistake if you want bass you need a subwoofer . Kind of think the reviewer created a load of problems for himself. There is a reason for the tilt and would explain the horns time alignment/sound pressure problems as the volume increases

      @@gaza4543 I owned a pair of Heresy's decades ago, and set them up wrong, per conventional speakers. Eventually I set them up more correctly on accident, but now I understand the acoustics better. The corner-loading helps the bass tremendously, while nullifying side wall reflections, while the tilt nullifies floor reflections. It's all about the setup with Heresy's, not their raw output in free space. Any sub better pump out 120db just to keep up.

    Just wait until you raise them up 2 ½ feet. Much better height imaging. I also tried the extreme toe-in idea and that is better than straight ahead or minimal toe-in, in my opinion...way deeper soundstage and even better detail. I put mine up on end tables and I agree with you - can’t live without them. They bring the music to life, ESPECIALLY vocals. Good Lord, the vocals.

  • @toadroller

    The floor reinforces the bass (think of it as a built in corner) and reduce the highs because they're not at ear height beaming at you. I think you created problem three by putting them up in the air.

    To answer the question at 30:18, assuming the drivers behave like a linear non-deforming piston (they don't exactly but it's close enough for small excursions), the volume displaced by one is given by: V=(1/4) h pi d^2, where h is the driver excursion distance, and d is the driver diameter.
    Equating this volume with the volume of a second driver, d_2, that will have an excursion of h_2, we can simplify to: (h_2)/h = (d/(d_2))^2.
    In other words, the relative displacement of two drivers is equal to the inverse of their relative diameters squared.
    In the case of a 12-inch vs a 4-inch driver, this means that the 4-inch driver requires 9 times the excursion of the 12-inch driver to achieve the same volume displaced. Obviously, you could plug in any driver diameters to that formula for quick calculations.

    • @Cwyrm
      @Cwyrm Před 4 lety +1

      skizzlemane1 Well, using the formula, we can find that a 4-inch driver would need to move 54 mm to displace the same amount of air as a 12-inch driver moving 6 mm.
      As for the other sizes,
      A 5.25 inch driver would need to move 31.3 mm.
      A 6 inch driver would need to move 24 mm.
      An 8 inch driver would need to move 13.5 mm.
      A 10 inch driver would need to move 8.64 mm
      And of course these are all only approximate; the larger the excursion the more error there is in the number, since in reality the driver does not deform perfectly linearly.
      Hope that helps!

    It's a TERRIBLE setup for funky phase distortions due to the distance between the drivers but my god that entire setup cost me 24 euros because I went through a bunch of yard sales and got stuff real cheap and holy cow you're not ever getting something that sounds that amazing for that price
    The Peerless 8" full range drivers give it mad phantom center, the Jamo tweeters add a little bit of necessary sparkle, the 8" Pioneers fill in the bass and the 6.5" Pioneers complete the midrange

      Came to comments to say the same. No reason to go through all the trouble and expense to add subwoofers (to do it right and match the quality of the Heresy, it will take two subs and a DSP or active crossover and multiple amps - as he scratches the surface on) - which is a hole not worth going down and will be a source of endless frustration and constant tweaking for Z. By the time you've properly figured out your subs, you are taking up more physical space and spending more money than if you just bought better speakers from Klipsch. As he said, these are the cheapest Heritage Klipsch speakers. They were originally designed to be a center channel speaker! Yes, they've been redesigned a lot, but these are still Klipsch's bookshelf models. Get the damn full size already. Get the Cornwalls or even better, a pair of Chorus IIs (used - because they don't make them anymore), which replaced the Cornwalls before they brought them back with a re-design.

I did some PA speaker buildings in the 90s and for a 12inch PA driver, this box enclosure is too small.. These drivers have almost 100db/watt but they need large boxes and long venting ports, especially if the ports have a large diameter.. But using PA speakers for HiFi in generell is a very interesting option.. :D
