Hello and thank you for the help. I have tried klipsch heresy with different amplifiers (including nad 320bee, a diy tube integrated EL34 push-pull and a yamaha av receiver) and by far the best results are from trends ta 10.1 (tripath 2024). The sound is ultra clean and undistorted. I guess this has to do more with the preamplifier I am using (benchmark dac-1 hdr) because when I used nad 320 bee as a power amplifer the result was similar to trends ta 10.1 but at rock-concert sound levels! By the way, from my experience I think that the preamplifier is in the audio chain together with the speakers the most significant component. Anyway, I turned the speakers a bit so as to face the listening position at an angle and that remedied a little the problem. Then I placed them at the corners and the sound became very very boomy - like the low octaves of the bass were a single note. So I guess my problem has to do with room acoustics. What should I do to fix it?

Hi! I eventually sold my klipsch rb-61 and bought klipsch heresy III 3 months ago. I am now a very happy owner of Klipsch Heresy speakers! I now listen again to my music collection discovering little amazing details. The dynamic range is huge;now the classical recordings sound as they should. However, when listening to jazz and especially when a double bass plays solo I noticed that the low octaves of the bass come from the speaker 'boomy'. So, the question is: Is the speakers or the room that causes this? What should I do to remedy the problem? I would also like to add that listening the same recordings with headphones (my preamplifier is benchmark dac-1 hdr) the bass sounds perfect Thank you very much for all the info and help

Hi! First post to this forum, although I am a usual visitor. I am a very happy owner of Klipsch RB-61. However, I wonder if I should upgrade to Klipsch Heresy III. What really troubles me is the Klipsch Heresy specification where it states that the bass extends to 58Hz whereas RB-61 goes down to 45Hz. How is this possible? Klipsch Heresy has a bigger woofer than RB-61 (12'' vs 6.5''). I suppose this has to do with the design of the speaker (sealed vs bass reflex)? My system is: Philips DVD player, Laptop, Technics 1200 MK2 --> Benchmark Dac-1 HDR --> Winsome Labs Mouse (Tripath 2050), Trends 10.1 --> Klipsch RB-61 Please note that I don't want to add a subwoofer to my set up. Also I find the bass of my Klipsch RB-61 pretty adequate for my room.
