What is it that is special about the Model 19? I had some 511 horns and didn't think they were all that great. Can't remember the driver, but I know it wasn't OEM and maybe that had something to do with it. I like the idea of the foam around the horn, maybe even deaden the horn. I am curious as to how well those woofers are, even those 811s and the appropriate driver. Definitely a speaker to try as I am now intrigued.

No response needed for me. Plus they just posed 23 hours ago, not everyone lives on a forum.

I agree with the Cornwall L/C/R, I would actually look at the pro line surround speakers. They have some really nice surround speakers that might cost less than Heresys, and they are designed for surround, so they might fit a location better.
But that doesn't mean Heresys won't work, they'd work great.

Interesting, I've always wanted to get more involved as to which pressing are the better pressing, but it takes time that i dont have at the moment. Great video with real world experience.
I for one can't understand with all of this technology these days, that why the quality of vinyl pressings aren't more superior that what they are.
I am not a physical digital media guy, but do run a hi res digital download source in my systems. I think the good thing about download over physical is that you don't have inconsistencies between material.
I enjoyed this with coffee this morning,
Thanks for sharing.

It's not dark grille cloth. I used an image editor to black out the grill areas of the top hats before posting the pictures so that the "secret" would not be visible.
So there was some accuracy to my comment? Nice, now what exactly that is, we'll have to wait. How exciting!

I heard the recent version was pretty darn good. I wonder what could be improved on?
I can't tell from the photos, but that is some pretty dark grill cloth. Which makes me wonder if it's possible they go 2 way with the new active system they are using for the Heritage Jubilees. I doubt that be the case as that would completely change the speaker, but wishful thinking.

I've ran a Tubes4Hifi sp12 line stage into a Nelson Pass ACA with great results with both streaming Spotify and vinyl with the PH6 Phono pre amp. All powering a pair of Heresy 1s. I don't recall what either the output impedance or input impedance is, but if memory serves, it wasn't an issue when I was researching that particular concern. As someone has mentioned, if this was a integrated system, it would be what is referred to as a hybrid. I would love to hear a full tube separate system. I have enjoyed a Scott 222 with these Heresys that I thought sounded wonderful with both digital streaming and vinyl. Now that i have a better hi res digital setup, I am looking forward to getting my hands on another Scott.

I've seen this before, maybe here. Very interesting and would love to achieve something this large. I like how he talks about restricting yourself. I don't have the cash flow, but I definitely have the ambition.

I have not yet installed the kits. I'm actually waiting for a carver amp so I can do both....new amp, new speaker upgrades. Hey, moderator dude! How can I communicate with this person?

Not a moderator, but a dude, I think you need one more post to activate private messages.

I've wondered about Tommyboy. Young guy off to Afghanistan as I recall. Was a regular on CC&C. I have sent him a couple of messages over the years with no response. Hope he is well and enjoying other interest.
Goes by dandoyen now.

I too worried about his situation as we never heard from him after shipping off. That was until about 3 or 4 years back he surfaces to sell his gear. If memory serves, he met a gal and moved into a smaller house that didn't allow large speakers. But regardless, he was alive and well.

I'm not sure how insurance works, but new a set of Klipschorns would set you back about $16,500.00, only to be purchased as a set. Those on the used market could fetch around $2000-$4000 depending on location. If I am not mistaken, KBFR would be B style, Fir raw? The E in the serial number identifies them as 1966. Not rosewood from the factory. But someone of the more knowledgably will chime in shortly.

Storm started rolling through this morning, still not done, may not be done until tomorrow. Fortunately, the temps have been around 33/34, so not much accumulation. They at one point were predicting 10"s, guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.

As Billybob has mentioned, mixing Heritage with Reference will mess with timbre, this may or may not be important to you. If not, you should be fine running the Fortes with the Marantz as I run Cornwall IVs with a Marantz SR5015 with no issues.

Ah, the talk of snow. Though we had a white Christmas, it didn't stick around for long. Had a slight dusting last night, and they are calling for 3-5 inches over the next few days. I figured I'd get the snow blower out today in the event that forecast is accurate. However, once I get the snow blower out, I'd be surprised if we get 2-3 inches.
Breakfast was a Belgian waffle and coffee (sorry, no pictures of the waffle). Sitting here enjoying coffee and listening to the lovely Ms. Fitzgerald. After this I guess I'll put away all the Christmas gifts then head to the shed for the snow blower.

The old Crew stadium is a nice place. Plenty of parking. I'm an hour north w/4 lanes all the way to Cbus and my doors are open if you like. Save the hotel money cause that's an insane waste with lodging and food costs today. Load em up and bring your A game. lol
Thanks for the offer, yeah, even going the Airbnb route is pricey, if I was flying solo I'd take you up on that.

Good New Years Eve day everyone. Starting the day with my usual cup of French Roast from Costco, this has been my go to for some time. Music for now is Post Malone, may switch to Ella Fitzgerald later.
Since Christmas, my go to for cocktails has been Vodka Cranberry, I prefer either Absolute or Titos. Since the Vikings are playing later this evening, I'm thinking finger foods such as hot wings are in order for dinner. Speaking of Christmas and cocktails, I made a sugar cookie martini on Christmas that was a big hit, the link was a video from Facebook, so incase you don't have Facebook, a picture with ingredients are attached.

I recently purchased a Honda Accord, so my next project is installing an aftermarket DSP and power amp. Thus will require some custom cables, for this project I will be using Belden 1694a rg6 and F-conn compression RCAs. I like the F-Conn brand as they allow the stinger to be installed prior to inserting the cable into the connector.

Heresy over the rc-64. Find a way to mount it in line height wise to the Cornwalls.
