Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.

mijostyn...I’ve also owned a pair of great sounding Heresy IIIs for a few years so I know something about how these things work (I’m also a successful and vastly experienced professional live sound mixer and musician), and actually did try them on stands and decided they simply sound better to my ears on the floor...they (both the IIIs and IVs) project a great soundstage up into the middle of the room and are amazingly coherent at my ears around 9 feet from ’em. The midrange does not need "cleaning up" as its range as utilized is easily handled (the same woofer is in my IIIs and has always woofed accurately with superb resolution within its designed limits), and I am fully aware of its range and have a good set of ears. There is absolutely zero need for a crossover (I have no desire to run my subs at 80 to 100hz as they’re SUBS not lower mid speakers) as these speakers perform brilliantly within their designed parameters, and although the IVs can play 10hz or so lower than the IIIs they’re not "boomy" or "lumpy" as the bass presents itself smoothly. Blending my 2 subs where the IVs bass response trails off actually works perfectly (as it does with the IIIs). It seems you have no actual experience with Heresy IVs (or IIIs) and are making assumptions about what you think I need to hear while disregarding what I’ve said. Not unusual around here.

Not to disagree with wolf, because many people prefer the Heresy's on the floor, tilted up, and not to mention, they were designed to be used this way. However, for my type of presentation, I prefer them on good, rigid, non resonant stands, away from the rear walls, with the mid horns at my ear level. To each his / her own, as there is no right or wrong. But wolf, I am right.....lol......Enjoy, be well and stay safe. Always, MrD.

One of my favorite things about the Heresy design is its unobtrusive nature relative to output, and I trust Roy Delgado on the floor placement because, hey, he designed them around that sort of placement. My new IVs are cherry so they're somewhat less obtrusive than the black IIIs they're trying to replace (still in break-in mode). Otherwise you can stack 'em on stands, fly 'em from cables, or sit on 'em, although with the slant provided by the bases (unless removed) you could easily slide off.

Thanks for your feedback @wolf_garcia ;)

Wolf,  how is the break- in of the new speakers going? I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the three versus the four.  Especially as a stand alone speaker without the subs in the chain.  Looking forward to what you think so far.
