Hi Steve, I am not a fan of big subs, but the younger gentleman who is seriously into subs schooled me like a child on the subject. He's pretty low key and the things he showed me about subs just dropped my jaw. This guy has a warehouse with tons of differnt speakers and subs and has tested just about everything and these are his favorites. First, I have listened to various subs and have been to trade shows, but when I heard these subs for two channel, I was absolutely shocked because I never realized how lightning fast they can be and I was dead wrong thinking otherwise. The person who designed these subs had apparently split off from SVS, but he does not price gouge. I'm sorry, but SVS are way over rated and way over priced. Check these out. https://www.powersoundaudio.com/collections/subwoofers?srsltid=AfmBOoo9Jn_Bzcnudlcu7nSYDCn8gotWknAx1r0r8vWu_uQa8a6_LZiv I normally only listen to jazz, blues and classic rock. The reason he showed me this sound video was to demonstrate how deep and how fast the attack was. Bass kicks in about 50 seconds into the video. This truly shocked me, because I just couldn't fathom the speed of the attack. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. Truly the best bass I've ever heard in my life regardless of cost, speaker or any other sub by far! -

I'm sure there are different opinions, however, you can consider this. One of my rooms is about the same size as the room you mentioned. I have videos of all the speakers in question pretty much along with sound demos and would just make a few suggestions for you. One is that going from any of the heritage line to a Warfdale Linton is a monumental change in sound because the Linton's have a softer, more laid back top end, so in my opinion, it's like comparing apples to oranges. They are just completely different speakers and as such, need to be driven with different amps in order to achieve nice fidelity in my opinion because the mid-range and top ends are so different. I also have the LRS Plus and have videos of all of them, but you're right, it's not enough breathing space and you'll probably experience some phase issues. The Forte 1's actually take up less real-estate than the Heresy II, but are just taller. I have set up both my Forte and my Heresy 2's in this smaller room like the one in question and in my opinion, the Heresy would be a nicer match. I have wood floors which makes a big difference with bass, but if you have a concrete floor, only then would I consider the Forte. The Forte in my room with wood floor with reasonably good sound treatment still sounds a bit congested and unable to breath. The bass is a bit much in the room at higher volumes. I use a REL T Zero in this room with the Heresy's and the combination in this room works nicer than with my Fortes. When I compare the two speakers in the larger front room, the Forte performs more openly and nicely with room to breath. It gives the listener a bit more space to hear the soundstage and it has a bigger soundstage. This is only audible in the bigger room when comparing the two. Each of these speakers are absolutely amazing and I love them both equally. It's just that the room settings matter. The other thing I like about the Heresy is the tilted risers which are truly amazing in the smaller room since the seating position is relatively close. There's a few reasons why I prefer the Heresy II over the Heresy IV but only in a smaller room setting the one you mentioned and mine. The IV is the biggest change by far compared to any of the previous models as everyone knows. The Heresy IV is less efficient by about 4db and this can be an advantage or disadvantage. The Heresy II at moderate listening levels sounds more transparent and open because they newer IV has a slightly more laid back top end by comparison, but the advantage is it works nicer with modern tube amps because the new Chi-Fi amps are very dynamic compared to old school tube amps. I have video demos comparing them all if you'd like me to link them. There are quite a few. I have compared the Heresy II to the Heresy IV at my friend Mirko's. His room is much larger and I preferred the Heresy IV more in his room because the bass becomes more audible at higher volume needed to fill the room. This issue with the bass with the Heresy IV in a smaller room like the one you mentioned is you need to turn the volume up higher to get the bass driver to feel some impact when comparing them in a smaller room. I play music at only moderate listening levels, so I prefer the REL T Zeros because I can adjust the bass so it's audible, even at lower listening levels. With the Heresy IV on it's own, I have to turn the volume up higher. The other thing is that Mirko's room doesn't have much if any sound treatment, so the more laid back mid-range and top end of the Heresy IV compared to the Heresy II is a better match because it helps offset the brightness of the room. The room is a serious matter and I don't know what your room is like. It could have carpet, concrete, wood floors whatever. This is my smaller room with a demo. I mostly play jazz, blues and classic rock. Klipsch are my favorite speakers in the world. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!

And it only took me a fraction of a second to realize how little I appreciated your passive-aggressive response... But thanks for the Spec Sheet, anyway. Would anyone happen to know where I can get hold of scans of a Heresy Series I owner's manual as well? -
