    In my opinion, based on my listening experiences with the Heresy IV's, I think Klipsch should rework the issues with box resonance on the IV and I think it would be an even greater speaker by comparison.

    Happy listening,

    I would like to see a miniaturized version LF doghouse added to a stand mounted Heresy with a 10"/12" driver... but that's not gonna happen.

    Probably not enough volume...

    if you dont have dogs, like me, I suggest moving them on axis directly in front of the front beauty panel...

    You won't get 'smearing' by having them off axis like I do, but there is some small alignment mismatch... though it's fairly insignificant.

    I love bass horns,  but... very satisfying results can be achieved with a DR if thoughtfully implemented. 

     

    without entering into a circular logic semantic debate, like I said... it's a Band-Aid.

     

    I think a lot of the issues for many can stem from implementation as opposed to the outright disdain of direct radiation... that being said, DR's are more alike than they are different from each other. One is just about as good as another.

    Do you think that you can hear direct radiating distortion at 18 to 40 hz ? . A well  designed , and properly sized DR will not degrade a system at the lowest frequencies 🤓

     

    Not only yes... Hell yes.

    Once you learn what to/how to listen...

    Intermodulation distortion with its time variable is fairly distinct to a signal that is more linear.

    Nevertheless, I have the impression that you don't differentiate in a way that someone could. I think spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on speaker cables is a lot of nonsense. But if I can buy a cable for 6 dollars per meter that can keep up with the most expensive cables, why should I prefer a dollar for a meter of lamp strips? that's a difference of 40 dollars for 2x4 meters, for example. So not more than one fill-up. In my experience, it's really worth it.

     

    this is... ONCE AGAIN... an issue of Economics and not one of scientific relevance. If anyone wants to spend 500$ on a machined billet aluminum bracket when a 10$ stamped steel bracket can do the same work, why should we not be allowed to use Billet aluminum? Common mass mentality is that you've wasted 490$ when if fact you merely made a decision based on economics.

     

    if you want beautiful stranded and woven cables, by all means use them.

     

    in as far as 'expectation' bias... I have a different view point. if I am choosing to use something that costs me inordinately more to use, my 'Bias' is not one of justification, but one of criticality... In other words, I am actually going to be MORE CRITICAL of that item, not less critical.

    Probably this question will yield answers that are diametrically opposed. But I still hope it can lead me to a choice.😇

     

     

    My problem is that I have no idea if increasing from 3m length to 8m length will result in audible quality loss.

     

    this make me giggle out loud... for someone that can supposedly hear 1" MDF resonance.
