@chorus : I also collect and use vintage Altec's and JBL's. Not to mention the pair of KLH Nine electrostats in the front room!
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.

@chorus +1! I had Heresy 1's and soon sold them! Shouty and lack of bass - they roll off around 65hz. Regarding KLH: Henry Kloss (the designer) of the originals always said his favorite was the Model Six. He preferred a good two-way over a three-way speaker. I concur and have a pair of Model Six's. It is an eminently well-balanced speaker! Too bad these new versions are so expensive! I would think that an original refurbished pair of Model Fives will sound even better than the new ones! |
