I have been living / selling / modifying Klipsch Heritage ( the Heresy is the smallest of the 5 models designed solely by PWK ) for 50 years, and with every other speakers I have owned, or have heard, these others always sounded boring, compressed and lifeless. Fortunately for me, my 1st introduction to Klipsch were the Khorns being driven by Mcintosh tube amps ( 1965, I was 11 ). By 13, I purchased a pair of Cornwalls, and with my dad’s Fisher 500C, I was in heaven ( he replaced the Fisher with a Sansui 881 deluxe, which did a better job of driving his AR3s. I did every modification possible to the Cornwalls ( vibration, ringing and resonance control ). The two systems sounded different, and were both excellent in their own ways. This was the beginning of my audio journey. I just liked, and still do, like horns. BTW, there are quite a few professional reviews of the Heresy 111s, just to give you some ideas of what folks think of them. Enjoy ! MrD.
