Klipsch heresy questions

These are hard to beat for the price. Bass can be boomy but the mid and high horns are great. I agree that you should listen for yourself, though. I grew up with a pair of these speakers in the '70's and unfortunately many modern hifi speakers just don't do it for me now because they miss the dynamics/punch of these things.

I think the Heresys will definitely be an upgrade over your Cerwin Vegas. They will not dig the deepest(around 50Hz with boundary gain) but the bass they do produce is tight and punchy and fast especially with your Acurus A250. The bass drive with that amp is remarkable especially for it's price point. My A250 drove my Heresys really well in my 13W x 13L x 10H spare bedroom. I am not using a subwoofer with mine but a quality sealed subwoofer will add that extra deepness you may want. Same applies for my Heresy II's in my master bedroom

Also consider the Klipsch Quartets, sort of a mini Forte

Dampening the mid horns, proper room/listener set up, and, matching them with the right equipment, will give you hours and hours of musical enjoyment. Anyone who has listened to a proper horn set up, ime, usually enjoys, more than dislikes, what they hear. MrD

Have you taken the plunge?
