I currently have a pair of "BEC" Heresy I's and I'm thinking of getting the SVS sub for the lows OR getting a pair of Fortes (20 years old). I've heard the Forte's will light it up with the HK3480 I have. LOVE my Heresy's, just need BASS.

Happy Chrimbo- The 77's A Charlie Brown Christmas of course!

I installed "Crites" crossovers last night and was shocked at how different the Heresy I's sounded! The mid horn is a flat out thing of beaty and after adjusting the tilt on the speakers and finding the sweet spot placement. Physical Grafftti sounds much better now! Guess I didn't know what a Heresy sounds like with those old crossovers- the new ones made a big improvement! I DO NOT need a second pair of speakers. Now on to the SVS PB10.

After your suggestion, I have been looking at some subwoofers (SVS and the Klipsch KSW-12) to match up with my Heresys. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Is it better to run the Heresys with the subwoofer (sub using HK3480 sub out) or run the Heresys thru the sub? Sorry if that is a really dumb question, but I am still learning about higher end audio and need good input. Also, I did a long listen with those sweet Heresys this weekend and noticed that jazz and classical really sings with them, but rock seemed to be missing a little something. Not sure if the sub will fix that, might be the crossovers (my Crites crossxr's are literally on the way) will help out. This might also be due to some of the recordings -OR- Am I a KG4 guy? Physical Graffiti sounded hollow, but my SACD of SRV Texas Flood was great. Even though the HK is new, I would consider TUBES, what is a good entry level unit to drive the Heresys? thanks

Thanks for the input, I'll look for the Klipsch Synergy Sub. One more question: Does the HK3480 have any issues with running 4 speakers (with same impeadence)? I'm a newbie at this and want to try to get the most out of what I've got. The back of the 3480 has the normal A&B outputs for 4 speakers and also a sub out- does that make it 4.1? Might be really cool to have the H1's, a sub and some Cornwall or Chorus...

I have a pair of Klipsch Heresy I (1979) and an HK3480. The pairing seems to work for me, but I was wondering what I could match up with the Heresy's to produce a little more bass and give more of a quad "feel". Don't have a ton of money and just spent part of my budget getting new crossovers from Mr. Crites. So, I was thinking a possibly a good subwoofer (looking for suggestions) and later maybe another set of Heresy's or another set in theHeritage line (suggestions?). Considered a pair of KG4's but they are 6 ohm and I've heard the HK doesn't like mixing 6 & 8 ohm. thanks- jim
