[@johto]

Just ordered the Heresy III brand new.These were hard to find here in EU. Everyone was only offering the IV: Dont want the port and too expensive for me. Currently running KEF Q900. Haven't heard horns before, at least here in my apartment. I also have.a SVS PB2000 subwoofer and minidsp + Audyssey XT 32 (Denon X3500H). I think i will be fine with the "lower" base. I wanted the III because its sealed. Should get them in a week, will be planning on raising them about 40cm. Main reason and the "aha" moment to get these was the appreciation and realisation of the importance of a tight mid base slam and the "speed" these should give. I usually listen pretty quiet during the evening, around 75db + dynamic EQ at -15 offset. (about 8db hot). Hey Z, what do you think? Will i get an improvement or a paradigm shift? 😎

@@janj.5385 Yeah I swapped the Crowns to Stereo and run top and bottom off each one.

[@thorwulfx1]

I have the Heresy IIIs, and use them as maxi-bookshelves with a sub. They work great. They will go to "death ray" levels if you ask them to, but they are pretty amazing. I find that they portray acoustic percussion in an incredibly realistic way. I run them full range, with the sub coming in to boost up the low frequencies. The sealed version certainly rolls off below 60 hertz, and needs a sub to get the slam we'd want as modern listener.

I own a pair of Klipsch Heresy H 100 speakers from 1975, still the best sound around with my other equipment, no intensions of upgrading or selling the speakers, hope my kids realize what they are))

[@Microwave414]

Last summer I spent a nice chunk of that time repairing/refurbishing a sansui sp-5500x that I got for pretty cheap. The cross over needed new caps, the woofers needed work before their surrounds were completely gone and the all of the horns were blown. Caps were an easy fix spare the horse glue holding down the old rubicon and the woofer was salvagable even though they used While I was able to find replacement parts for the squawker/tweeter horns I could not find an original replacement part for the super tweeter horn but I found a set of super tweeters that uses the same driver material found in the larger horn and the super tweeter and normal tweeter have matching sound signatures so it worked out far better than I ever anticipated in the end. Anyways I have to agree, there is something to three-ways and large speakers like this. Those drivers simply do not move as much as you expect them to move and having each driver doing less just leads to the whole thing sounding so clean. I can see why klipsch makes these style of speakers still as does JBL in their synthesis line.

[@stephenpeel2945]

Been looking forward to this since I first saw you had them as I have Heresy IIIs, missed 10 minutes of it working out the volume of a cylinder for the 4" driver extension question. It would have to move 54mm FWIW.

[@elderinmoi1571]

You should definitely try the Solaris with them (in you new home I guess). The Solaris is such a great amp. Loved my Yamaha 3000 combo but in a reasonably sized room or with very efficient speakers the Solaris adds so much to the music that makes you emotional. Try it. Seriously. Trust me 😀

Hi Zeos! Did you also check out the possibility and the upgrade option from GR Research for the crossovers? Very nice video and interesting approach to drive the mid-highs and lows separately. Perhaps one reason more to check out the xo upgrade from Danny 😉

[@bencausey]

Just wait until you raise them up 2 ½ feet. Much better height imaging. I also tried the extreme toe-in idea and that is better than straight ahead or minimal toe-in, in my opinion...way deeper soundstage and even better detail. I put mine up on end tables and I agree with you - can’t live without them. They bring the music to life, ESPECIALLY vocals. Good Lord, the vocals.

I own the original Heresy's and I'm well versed in the heritage series from Klipsch. Take the speakers down off the ridiculous pedestals for starters, Next situate the speakers each in a corner and utilize the room dynamics acoustically as Paul Klipsch had originally intended, as with all the heritage series speakers all you need is two separate corners and the wedges you had under them originally trust me on this you will rediscover those speakers.

[@daviewavie112]

Brandon Burr It’s nice to see Z reviewing klipsch heritage 👍🏼 a klipsch hereitage line review is incomplete without a tube amp imo though. Tubes and klipsch go hand in hand. Putting my pair of heresy 1’s on stands and in the corners made a huge difference in soundstage and bass in my living room. They were on the floor and against the wall before and they were uninspiring. But even in their new position you can still tell exactly where the low frequency cuts out and there’s just nothing below that point. So unless you’re ok with missing a significant portion of the information in your recordings below the cut off point, you need subs. But if you’re going to add subs, might as well get Cornwall’s. And if you’re putting Cornwall’s in the corners, you might as well get klipschorns. 🤷🏻‍♂️ which is what I ended up doing. Problem is my used klipschorns cost me the same as this new pair of heresy iv’s. Actually less when you factor in the subwoofers and stands. That’s the problem with klipsch. I love klipsch and have for my whole audiophile career. But the vintage heritage line are so robust and last forever. For me it doesn’t justify spending 10x more on a new pair. If you have the space I recommend used Cornwall’s or klipschorns. La scalas and belles run into the same bass problem as the heresies.

Three weeks ago, I received my pandemic speakers, new Cornwall IVs and my sheer joy has been similar to Z's. One of the reasons I chose them was that I could save $1k on the amp. I don't need the subs either. I did raise them up six inches and put them on wheels so that they could be turned depending on the sound stage that I want. 16'x12' room.

[@SmashyMcGee]

Hey Zeos I'm a Patron. I will give you $20 for them.

[@stephensmith3111]

Originally. the Heresy was intended as a center fill speaker for use with a pair of Klipschorns. As such it was designed for low distortion from the mid-bass up and to let the big folded corner horns do the heavy lifting for the deep bass. The Heresy [I] to III were sealed boxes, acoustic suspension/smallish infinite baffles. The story is that when Paul W. Klipsch was designing this speaker with a direct firing woofer without a bass horn it was heresy, hence the name. Yeah, old dude here.

[@zorglubmagnus455]

Thanks!

[@tobyw9573]

Good point on the woofers, I think there is some sort of Doppler effect when you try too much bandwidth on drivers. Did you consider mounting the Klipsches on top of the subwoofers?

[@faludabutt8253]

Just had a home demo for 14 days. Attached various speakers. Everybody pointed towards Heresy. I think heresy could get on with any style of music. Forte III throws rocks at you if fast paced music is played. But in both, instrument separation is phenomenal besides other attributes. It’s hard hard not to fall in love with heresy.

Are you offering to carry them up the stairs for Zeos?

[@djsjjd15]

Came to comments to say the same. No reason to go through all the trouble and expense to add subwoofers (to do it right and match the quality of the Heresy, it will take two subs and a DSP or active crossover and multiple amps - as he scratches the surface on) - which is a hole not worth going down and will be a source of endless frustration and constant tweaking for Z. By the time you've properly figured out your subs, you are taking up more physical space and spending more money than if you just bought better speakers from Klipsch. As he said, these are the cheapest Heritage Klipsch speakers. They were originally designed to be a center channel speaker! Yes, they've been redesigned a lot, but these are still Klipsch's bookshelf models. Get the damn full size already. Get the Cornwalls or even better, a pair of Chorus IIs (used - because they don't make them anymore), which replaced the Cornwalls before they brought them back with a re-design.

[@elnericoo]

Z! I really like the direction you are going with the Heresy! Are you going to install two more crown and two 15" Subs? Klipsch makes them? The Klipsch guys say it's good to listen to them positioned so the horns cross in front of your ears? Did you consider the Cornwall IV? (short for corner wall ) It sure makes a lot of sound without moving, doesn't it?

[@peterjmcgee4680]

And I have been using their speakers for years and I have not only been using them I have been modifying their crossovers a years to get better sound out of them and there are kits you can buy to change the capacitors the block resistors and the coils on the crossover boards that'll give you more Bass and more highs and mids I know those particular speakers that you have there

Been following reviews for the Heresy IVs for a while and this is the best review so far. Some reviewers said to match these with a tube amp to temper the brightness; Zeo's better, cheaper solution? DSP. Some reviewers have said it's not the best for modern music but good enough bass, and only excellent for the type of music they prefer; Zeo's solution? Cheap dual/sub. Efficiency discrepancy between horns and woofs at high volumes? Bi-amp w/ DSP and subs. Tells you exactly what you need (or what you don't) for what you want out of these speakers.. even numbers for dsp. All are affordable options too.

[@datdudeinred]

I want to see the comparison between these and triangles that you've just unboxed

[@Cwyrm]

To answer the question at 30:18, assuming the drivers behave like a linear non-deforming piston (they don't exactly but it's close enough for small excursions), the volume displaced by one is given by: V=(1/4) h pi d^2, where h is the driver excursion distance, and d is the driver diameter. Equating this volume with the volume of a second driver, d_2, that will have an excursion of h_2, we can simplify to: (h_2)/h = (d/(d_2))^2. In other words, the relative displacement of two drivers is equal to the inverse of their relative diameters squared. In the case of a 12-inch vs a 4-inch driver, this means that the 4-inch driver requires 9 times the excursion of the 12-inch driver to achieve the same volume displaced. Obviously, you could plug in any driver diameters to that formula for quick calculations.

[@skizzlemane1]

"C" wyrm so what’s the answer? 😃 I’m curious now and geometry is not one of my strong suits

skizzlemane1 Well, using the formula, we can find that a 4-inch driver would need to move 54 mm to displace the same amount of air as a 12-inch driver moving 6 mm. As for the other sizes, A 5.25 inch driver would need to move 31.3 mm. A 6 inch driver would need to move 24 mm. An 8 inch driver would need to move 13.5 mm. A 10 inch driver would need to move 8.64 mm And of course these are all only approximate; the larger the excursion the more error there is in the number, since in reality the driver does not deform perfectly linearly. Hope that helps!

If there is a driver balance problem, you cannot fix it by normal biamping. You have to have different gain control for each channel. Using a dsp or AV amp is one solution otherwise you have to use separate gain controls or attenuators for each amp.

Corrugated is what that type of rolling on the surround is called I believe

[@johnclark3067]

Very common in pro audio; I've always heard them called accordion or pleated surrounds.

[@neonphoenix8951]

@@johnclark3067 Yep, used basically only with paper cones and light moving mass to keep distortion down. The Eminence drivers get rather beastly up to a 21 inch model i believe

This is basically a small PA Speaker with a retro Hifi design.. A 12inch PA speaker and 2 HF Horns (which is quite unusual, so this indeed a very special design).. I did some PA speaker buildings in the 90s and for a 12inch PA driver, this box enclosure is too small.. These drivers have almost 100db/watt but they need large boxes and long venting ports, especially if the ports have a large diameter.. But using PA speakers for HiFi in generell is a very interesting option.. :D

Like that " Fist That" lol

The Heresy have amazing low end set up correctly, in the corners, on the floor angled up, and with vaulted ceilings, thereby effectively turning the room's floor and walls into extensions of the horns and virtually horn-loading the woofer. Properly harnessed, Heresy bass sounds fast, like a giant electrostatic subwoofer.

[@gaza4543]

I agree with this though make no mistake if you want bass you need a subwoofer . Kind of think the reviewer created a load of problems for himself. There is a reason for the tilt and would explain the horns time alignment/sound pressure problems as the volume increases

[@xxxYYZxxx]

@@gaza4543 I owned a pair of Heresy's decades ago, and set them up wrong, per conventional speakers. Eventually I set them up more correctly on accident, but now I understand the acoustics better. The corner-loading helps the bass tremendously, while nullifying side wall reflections, while the tilt nullifies floor reflections. It's all about the setup with Heresy's, not their raw output in free space. Any sub better pump out 120db just to keep up.

[@toadroller]

The floor reinforces the bass (think of it as a built in corner) and reduce the highs because they're not at ear height beaming at you. I think you created problem three by putting them up in the air.

[@mrcasey69]

I like how they sound when they are on the ground with their stock tilted bases. For me, no sub needed in that configuration.

[@peterjmcgee4680]

That's why the PS audio exchange exist they have kits where you cannot rebalance the speakers where you can bring more bass out of them and cut back on the mid and I by her ex exchanging Parts off of the crossover just by changing certain pieces off of the crossover board you can change the efficiency of the speaker and they do sell kits so you can change them up and you won't have that problem anymore and you won't have to run two amps to one speaker

[@LQ-gaming]

my new desktop speakers, SWEET !

[@marks8ut]

Who else times videos based on cooking wings?!? God bless Zeos! Stay safe all!

[@VGiena]

Z really likes them heresy. Lol Could you do more center speakers for LRs. You da best!

[@CPowell133]

Every time I watch a Z Reviews video and hit blinds are open. I really wonder what people are thinking when they look up and see a guy walking about pointing and yelling at things in a room with GoPro on him.

[@archiemacdonald553]

Another great slot Z please could you brighten up the room my eyes are getting sore 😂

[@jeffsloane8628]

Hand in port...Immediate thumbs up.

[@iopsyc15]

Looking forward to Z's review of Klipsch Heritage Klipschorn AK6.

[@wolfgangamadidas2127]

So when are we getting the Klipschorn review? :-D Also where did you get the lights for those speaker stands?

[@hananas2]

I love getting my sound from a lotta surface area, currently I'm running a pair of 8" Pioneer SZ-94's with the tweeters cut off together with a pair of Peerless 8" fullrange drivers, a pair of 6.5" Pioneer SZ-94's and a pair of Jamo 1 1/8" dome tweeters. It's a TERRIBLE setup for funky phase distortions due to the distance between the drivers but my god that entire setup cost me 24 euros because I went through a bunch of yard sales and got stuff real cheap and holy cow you're not ever getting something that sounds that amazing for that price The Peerless 8" full range drivers give it mad phantom center, the Jamo tweeters add a little bit of necessary sparkle, the 8" Pioneers fill in the bass and the 6.5" Pioneers complete the midrange it punches HARD too

[@rexbk09]

Love, Love, Love !!

[@barn_ninny]

Your frequency balance problems when you put them on stands was probably because you put them on stands. That put the horns directly on ear axis, for one, and more importantly, you lost several dB of bass because you were no longer getting floor reinforcement of those frequencies. They're voiced to be on the floor, with all the acoustic effects that has. When you put them up in the air, that's gone.

[@JerryC25]

I love this channel lol

[@unlitdarkness6]

The lights! Tell us aboit the lights on the speaker stands!!

[@joaquinrubio3230]

I love the comments about the Klipsch, I'm also an owner of Klipsch, but I would say if you were interested I would get the SL-15 Cerwin Vega, they do not require subwoofers at all, or stands. If I would put these in a price category they are Klipsch La Scala, but even the La Scalas require a subwoofer. I know this because my friend owns a pair. My SL-15s are only $1000 brand new.
