Klipsch Heresy IV

I'm not on either side of the JBL or Heresy.  I was interested in both before buying Forte 3's...  I'm sure both rock and they get great reviews but like anything audio, gotta try it in your room with your gear to see if delivers the goods.

Regarding Robinson's JBL peeling veneer and rust complaint, that sounds like a humidity issue.  Maybe he inadvertently exposed them to excess moisture or humidity?  Unless he lives at the beach and has the windows open there's no reason why they would rust if kept indoors.  He probably bought them second hand or he would have sent them back to the dealer he bought them (or JBL directly) for replacement.  

Also, his reviews are crap.  Thick with so much schmaltz and fluff and no real substance.  Seems like he's targeting lower priced mass market stuff to maximize youtube views and page hits.  Slick website, video editing and... dogs!  (lol) 

ugh barf.

Yeah sorry didn't read all the comments, was only guessing at why he's having rust and delam issues with the veneer.  My comments weren't intended to be based on facts...

If they arrived damaged to begin with why didn't he send them back and ask for a new set?  Maybe JBL just sent him a beat up demo pair thinking he was only going to review how they sound and weren't expecting them to be shown in a Youtube video with warts and all.  Also seems a bit shady to comment on the speakers condition when he has no idea what that set has been through.
