Hello all,
I have bought a pair of Heresy 1 (1979) few days ago and have been fiddling with it. This speaker appears to be easy to drive but actually may not be so. So far, I have tried out the following amp -
1. Mesa Baron with 12 pcs of EL34 (60W in PP triode) - Great result! Problem is this amp is hooked to my main system and I cannot move it to my other room.
2. Old Muscial Fidelity P182 integrated amp (90W class A/B) - The bass is weak and the overall sound is lean and unpleasant.
3. Monarchy SE100d (100W class A) - The bass still lean but better than the P182. However, there is no horn-pressence. Also, there is a low level dee-dee sound from the mid horn once connected. This amp is dead silent when using my other speakers. (Have already tried cheaters plug to unground but does not work)
This brings to my question - Is it a must to use tube to make it sing?
I originally bought this pair of speaker for my bedroom easy listening. I did not plan to spend more money and just hook it up with my other leftover gears. However, after knowing the potential of it, I hope to better use it. I have an idea of getting a less expensive 4xEl34 PP integrated amp to match but afriad it will not be powerful enough.
Hope to get some advices. Thanks in advance.
Loss in the Klipsch space....
Cheers.
