I agree with the bigger horn concept, but I don't see bigger always better as a whole with speakers for smaller rooms. If I put my 19s in my office, I wouldn't expect good things from that. There's a reason speakers are designed for different purposes. Small studio monitors on a desk may be able to create a sense of space better than a gigantic speaker in that same space.
As far as tone controls, I don't know that I agree. I took my Quartets out of a sub-optimal place and put them in a location where they can shine. Why would I get speakers that are made for a large room to do what they do best, shove them in a tiny location, and then suck the life out of them by taking away their bass extension or some other part of their response?

I do certainly enjoy the bigger speakers and their soundstage/presence in the appropriate room. I would say that large speakers can overwhelm some smaller rooms though. Even my Quartets were too large and had way too much bass in my office/spare bedroom; they would just overload the room with bass and muddied the sound. I moved my Heresy into that room and it is a much better fit.

I want one where did that come from if I may ask
Got this for Christmas. A lamp to go along with the old-school tube look. Nice Edison style bulb.

It's from Amazon. Look for steampunk Edison lamp. I don't know the exact place, my wife bought it for me.

Good luck with the sale! Those are beautiful! If I had more room, I'd definitely be considering these.

If you're using digital sources, get yourself a nice DAC and you'll be amazed at what those Heresy can do.

Interested in what that "Heritage 2.1" is...
-
and also:
If these are a small desktop version with the heritage sound...this could be quite interesting

Glad to hear you're enjoying your system! I haven't had the chance to hear the RF7-II yet, but it seems like they're pretty awesome!
I am also of the opinion that a sub can add just the lowest octave appropriately with 2 channel listening. I have one with my Altec 19s, and they certainly are not 'thin' sounding speakers either. As you have experienced, the sub fills in that bottom and just expands the soundstage, making a much more enveloping experience.

Those 83s were up for $400 with the Denon when the ad was first put up...guess he got more inquiries and raised the prices.
-
Darn, my first guess was right. Should've stuck with it
Most definitely worth $300.

Too much for a .22LR CZ 455?
Perfectly acceptable.

Nice clean look, I like how that center squeezed into your cabinet.
Yep! I measured before I got it and it JUST made it.

I'd give them a try for that price. There is a following for those and a list of mods available.

Quartets
KG 2.2 center

...still deciding if I want rear channels. I had a 5.1 setup at one point but I don't know if i watch enough movies to justify getting the rears.

??Great price on the Belles if the condition is good. I'm close, but just can't justify more speakers at this point.
I didn't know justification had anything to do with getting more speakers
Looks like I learned something new today as well.

My new guess is Forte I. The space between the top of the passive to the top of the cabinet looks larger than on my Quartets.

Would be interested in how these would compare to the Quartets. These are certainly more modern looking.

Is bigger always better with Klipsch Speakers?

I'd say it's really all about integration. A poorly integrated system with great speakers can sound bad, while a well integrated system with less than great speakers can sound fantastic. I've heard a poorly setup system costing well over $100k that my most modest system would beat.
