Hello Rich, and greetings to everyone on the Klipsch forum from England. My name is Jimmy Hughes, and I wrote the Heresy III review in Hi-Fi Plus. This is my first post here using a friend's account. I have signed up for the Klipsch forum, but am awaiting my password to participate.
First off - thank you Rich for bringing my Heresy III review to everyone's attention on the Klipsch forum. And thank you for taking so much trouble to obtain the magazine - I'm pleased you thought it was worth $16. My friend Gary Burley alerted me to your original post about the review a couple of weeks back, and - seeing as the magazine is so difficult to get in the USA - I have been wondering if it might be possible to post the review here.
However, I might be able to offer you something slightly better (or, depending on your point of view, considerably worse - LOL!) - the full unexpurgated 'Director's Cut'. My original piece was rather long, and the version that appeared in the magazine was trimmed. Unfortunately, the various cuts have created at least one serious misunderstanding. When I referred to the 'H1s' I was thinking of my own Impulse H1 horn speakers - NOT Heresy 1s.
In the magazine version, most of the intro was cut. In the original version, I described how I got to hear the Heresy III's at the house of a friend (Gary Burley), and how hearing them made me want to write a review of them. In passing, I mentioned my own Impulse H1s, and how their size had made it difficult for me to review speakers due to lack of space. Unfortunately, none of this was published.
Trouble is, I'm not quite sure how to post the original article here. I've already checked with the Editor of HF+ and he's cool about me doing it - so no issues there. The problem is actually getting it on the forum. I could, of course, simply cut and paste it here, but most forums have a word limit, and I fear it would it be waaaaay too long. Would I be correct in thinking I could put the article on a site like flickr, then post a link to it here? Alternatively, I could send the text to Amy for her to post here. But, these are details; one way or another, I will find the means to do it.
Thanks again for your interest!
Jimmy Hughes
