Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel

The wife has banished my 2 channel audio addiction to a spare bedroom and I need some input on my selections. I have 2 klipsch rf7iis that front a 5.2 in the living room. Pushed by a Denon 4311ci. My wife loves them and won't surrender. My pioneer sx-1080 is the receiver I use for 2 channel and used to power the rf7s . I have JBL Northridge towers as well that I can't stand for stereo. I have been looking at some Klipsch KG4s as well as some Heresys. Looking for some opinions on the pros and cons of each. I listen to mostly vinyl and I like it loud.

@gavinja70..How will the speakers be set up in this spare bedroom ? Is the spare bedroom a dedicated listening room, or is it a bedroom with the addition of a good stereo ? How large is this room ? MrD.

Heresys are the way to go. Adding a powered sub, later if need be ( cranking Deep Purple loud ). They will be cleaner than any of the other Klipsch mentioned here. The best way to connect a powered sub ( providing the sub has the connections ) is to use the speaker outputs of the amp to the high level inputs on the sub ( or you can do amp to sub to Heresys ). I was never a fan of Klipsch with rear facing passives ( because of rear wall placement ), but having the mid horn is better ( dampen the mid horns, from the outside of the horn , with a product like Dynamat ), as this takes the speaker to another level. Enjoy ! MrD.

The Lascalas are also 104 db, but with the bass roll off of the Lascala, I believe this is the comparison being made here ( imo ). Enjoy ! MrD.
