I drive the Heresy IIIs with a small-ish 12 watt per side SE amp, use a tube preamp, and 2 REL subs. These speakers are clear and clean with no treble fatigue, and this system will play anything you put through it with aplomb (yeah man…aplomb). No low bass with these but the RELs supply that bit, and I've listened for harshness as I can't stand incoherence. I hooked my mosfet SS amp up to them to test the tube grease factor in an attempt to keep things honest. They sound fine with the SS amp (around 8 times the power of the SE amp), but much better with tubes, still retaining clarity and 99db efficiency which allows them to play loud even with 12 watts.
speakers with balls
Hello friends
I live in a modern unit!! of medium size!!
I/m running a pair of Zu soul's, on some recordings, sound great, other's could be better!!, I'm looking at the below, my amps are "audio labs" mono blocks!! approx 250 WPC
I'm looking for a speaker that "rocks"!!
I have a short list of speakers, that according from web sites, are a good match
1. Magnepan 1.7
2. Magnepan 1.7.i
3. Gallo Acoustics 3.5
These are some speakers, that am willing to consider
anymore more speakers, that you can recon-end??

Hi daveyonthecoast, It seems that your choices are more of a lateral move rather than a move towards achieving your Balls Out goal. Your Speakers, Zu soul have a frequency response of 45Hz-22 kHz The Magneplanar 1.7 have a Frequency response of 40Hz-24 kHz The Gallo 3.5 have a Frequency response of 34Hz-20 kHz What you are looking for ideally is something that would get you in a frequency response of 25Hz-40kHz. If you can get 20Hz - 60kHz even better. But you will have to pay $$$$ for that. You may have to do it in stages. For instance If you like the Maggie's, then look to pair it with some REL subs. https://rel.net/speaker-pairing/1-7i/ The 3.7 REL combo will surely help you to achieve the balls out sound you are looking for. https://rel.net/speaker-pairing/3-7i/ Below are some other reputable Loudspeaker companies that you should check out. Bache should give you best bang for buck. Eagleston just merged with China, so I hope it does not affect their reputable products. Devore Fidelity is just Awesome. www.devorefidelity.com www.egglestonworks.com www.bacheaudio.com Have Fun,Best of Luck |
