In my view, the new smaller room speaks even more in favour of the Heresy. It's a shame that you can't test both types. But you're on the safe side with the Heresy. You quickly get used to more or less full-bodied sound, but I suspect that the Heresy reveals more musical information and less overlay. At least my experience with large speakers in small to medium-sized rooms is not very good. It is also possible that due to its size, the Cornwall transmits more structure-borne sound through the walls, which can cause the neighbours to hear it even if you are listening to soft music.

@JL Sargent Got some leftover from the OSU game w blue. Want em? lol

Actually doing some mods... adding t-nuts to the mounting baffle for the 12 inches. Modded the throats slightly to better match the 12 inchers instead of the 15s. Got some better terminals... it's getting there. Still happily married, but the the androgen blocker has killed motivation for about everything. Best news is cancer is below detectable levels. How's your year been?

Relatively speaking, those MWM cabinets are a simple build and sound phenomenal. 👌

Tempus fugit...in January we'll have been in our "new" house 13 years.

Robin Hood and the kid next to me are out with blowers and the kid is now mowing his yard. It was snowing an hour ago. Not much but... They cut it off on the 1st every year but yesterday morning I did see the boys out cruisin thru the hood w/the truck and the vac tank. I'm sure today that stuff is parked at the garage again and I'm gonna get every stinking one of the leaves they just blew out by spring Whatever! I'm done w/this garbage. 😂

Really not keen on posting what comes through the door but owning numerous Klipsch speakers from RB75’s to Jubilee’s and several in between I think I can speak with experience when I hear something special. Just received a pair of Canadian made Coherent Audio GR 12 Signatures. Point source, or co-axial design using the high performance Radian 12 inch driver, inset with a 1.75 in. beryllium dome compression driver with high Q crossover components. Currently playing with Quicksilver Horn Monos I can honestly say these are goosebumpers, something I haven’t felt with few, if any other speaker. The texture, clarity, soundstage, overall “completeness” is astounding. An exciting addition to say the least -

Here is the new configuration with the f20 horns, and the MEHs setup as a 3 way.

All original drivers in perfect working condition, I have new B&K A/4500s Xovers These are in good condition, but do have some wear and small chips. They are really really nice for 1978 speakers. Pick up, and cash only. Feel free to text, or email with questions. 651-470-4284

This is what I've been saying all along in my videos of the Forte and I believe the reason so few know about this is because they are simply parroting what others say and pretty soon, everyone starts to believe it without ever having listened to it. Skip to 7:40 of this video. I agree with him regarding the negatives of it as well as how much bass gets lost regardless. In the Upscale Audio room I video'd, I recorded jazz. When using headsets, you can easily hear that the bass is significantly less at the distance they had their Forte IV from the wall. To add further insult to injury they added subs which I purposely left off which are not needed for general music listening when the Forte is properly placed near a wall in my opinion. If one feels the bass overwhelms the mids, they can pull it out to the desired distance but subs can drown mids anyway, so it defeats the point in my opinion.

"That's what your mouth said"

There's a lot of emotion in those songs. Mr. DJ!!

2 different...this and the trouble with LS topic, which likely has resolved by now.

It's Damping, not Dampening.

Welcome Iowa. If you liked your earlier Heresy speakers so much, was it listened in the same room? I ask because if you once have found such a lucky marriage of speaker and room it would be my benchmark. As Flevoman says the Heresy 4 may sound much fresher. If I were you I would opt for the Heresy if you had experienced them in your office/listening room, plus, you have less issues with neighbors and less potential of a boomy sound. I would say that the Heresy also fits with your taste of music and they would not dominate the relative moderate room too much optically.

This is Lady, a Cavalier King Charles. On the right is shortly after we got her. On the left is a pic from a few days ago. She’s about 5 months old now. She loves to play, run and play tug of war.

Nice prep work for the veneer. The oil cans in my Type E Heresy 1 networks looked like that when I replaced them with some modern caps. The difference was noticeable and commented on by my wife who had no idea that I had done anything to the speakers.

So are these the speakers that just needed breaking in, or are there two LaScala posts and I'm confused. Nice to see a favorable mention of Crites.

Sorry Duke, you left out the "L".

I was there when Mrs. Dtel and daughter all looked at each other and said "we want those."

Day off today! FINALLY!

Wow, he was integral to both of those great bands! RIP Mr Laine

Not exactly.

I only moved far enough away to be in the sweet spot...

I think it was a gain setting, problem with the mics not set properly. I used the Celestion settings Chris posted and matched the levels...which now included me having to lower the AXI2050 an additional 10db to match the OB MEHs.

We live in a 1960s house. We have that popcorn, sprayed ceiling. It is what it is...

Carpet. And don't forget the acoustic popcorn ceiling!

I think it's fair to say that those genre's of music you mentioned are notorious for using very low bass though. That's why we see trucks with bass boxes in the flatbeds or trunks of cars. I listen mostly to jazz and classical and I hear no reason to add subs. I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm just saying there should be some context such as placement, room, music genre. If you wear headsets and listen to my video above, you can easily hear more than enough bass, in fact, probably a bit more than needed. Just saying.

No way my Forte 11 need subs

Just ran across this. Seems interesting? Not sure if repeat? http://unexpectedentertainment.net/cleaning-vinyl-record-with-wood-glue/ sorry put up wrong one at first

Guy is asking $250 so.... nevermind. LOL Should I tell him

I am looking for a RSW-10d or RT-10D Color doesn't matter. Anywhere along the route from Salt lake City, Utah to Boise Idaho.

For you a special offer. I buy for $1 and you pay the shipping. OK lol I really hate spammers

What would be a good entry level/starter tube amp. Under $500? It would be needed for Heresys and a sub (2.1 sound). Would like to be able to run a HD through USB with WAV music. Anyone in the SLC, Utah area that would be willing to let me listen to their tube amps?

Yes I will be doing the DIY 18's. But for now I did set two of my RW 12d's up with the Heresys. I put them at the depth setting and 40 hz. They seem to be ok for now. But that has been for radio listening only so far. The move is going slow. But yeah I will do one DIY 18 and if I like it we I might have to sell the RW's But I guess that means I would have to build what like 5 of the 18's?

Interesting I just had a message from someone with 0 posts and now they are deleted. Here is what they messaged me: "I have this product for sale in a great condition ... please contact me on mibul@outlook.com for more details, thanks" I really wish ALL scammers would be neutered

Seems weird to still be new in box. .

So other than the box and speaker you got from amazon what were the other parts you need to build the subs?

Thanks This is really the route I should go. I will have the room and time for a project like this now in the new place. I will get more bang for the buck? .

Thanks Bill I will have to look into that one.

Not selling........Wanting
