Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.

Hi all. New here this is my first post. I am mulling over very seriously the Heresy iv's. I have heard some very good things about them. I would like to get the advice on any of you here who own them as to what the listener experience is with these speakers. I really want to pull the trigger on these speakers but here in Canada with taxes in they are close to 5K. I want them to be my last set ever. Right now I have a set of Proac Studio 118s. They are real nice But the Klipsch are calling me bad. Lol. I have a Rega Apollo cd player and a Nad M3 amp along with Van Den Hul inter connects and speaker cables. I have heard that the Heresy's real make the music come to life with a terrific impact. Any input from Heresy iv owners would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve never heard any of the Heresy versions, would be curious to know how the soundstage and imaging are given the shorter/wide size of the speakers.  Thanks

Great speaker. Up on stands with two or more subwoofers and you have a very serious system. Very close to SOTA for point source. Wilson, YG and Magico included!

I prefer Heresy speakers on the floor as designed, with Vibrapods and a matching fuzzy bottomed pad thing under the pods so I can move 'em easily. Imaging is astonishing with these things, and according to what I've read it's gonna take up to 500 hours to break them in. They do work well with my subs, which, of course, had to be adjusted for the extra 10 or so hz the IVs descend to.

@wolf_garcia Would you mind sharing your settings for your sub with the Heresy IV?

I'm using an SVS SB-3000 with my Heresy IV.  Low pass at 60hz with a slope of 24dB as recommended by SVS.  

Thanks

2 dissimilar REL subs (Q108MK2, Q150e) both around 45 to 50 hz, which matches well with the Heresy IVs.
