Klipsch speakers don’t emphasize any frequency. They have a flat response and reproduce the music as close to original as possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

30” barstools are perfect for Heresys. No need to flip them. Surrounds or any Klipsch Heritage speakers do not have to be “ear height”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hate SiriusXM. So much compression. I was always fiddling with tone controls trying to make it sound good. When my subscriber ran out from my new purchase it was so long Sirius. I have it free with Dish Network and never listen to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tony Whitlow replied to klpschfan's topic in Home Theater
The Heresy was the original center for KHorns, then the Cornwall. The LaScala was designed for a PA speaker, a KHorn that didn’t require a corner. The Belle Klipsch is a domestic version of the LaScala to be a center between KHorns. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Heresy II (best method for deeper bass?)
Tony Whitlow replied to TheMusicFreaks's topic in General Klipsch Info
I have heard it described as a bookshelf. The original Heresy had an 8” woofer and was designed to be a center speaker between two Klipshorns. When people started buying them in pairs for stand alone stereo speakers, Paul Klipsch redesigned them with a 12” woofer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Heresy II (best method for deeper bass?)
Tony Whitlow replied to TheMusicFreaks's topic in General Klipsch Info
There is a reason why the Heresy only goes to 50Hz. It was designed to be efficient, low distortion, flat response speaker. The woofer only has a 1/8” excursion. 1/16” out and 1/16” in, this leads to the low distortion that Mr. Klipsch achieved. The Heresy is voiced to what goes in comes out with no coloration. He could have ported the cabinet and threw in a long throw woofer to get deeper bass but a woofer flapping in the air would add coloration and distortion. There is some musical information below 50Hz but not a great amount. If you are a basshead and want to rattle walls and shake the floor then you need a subwoofer. If you want an honest non colored low distortion speaker then the Heresy in its stock form is what you are looking for.They we’re intended to go on the floor in a corner. Corner loading reinforces bass. That is where they really sing. Slanted riser bases were optional to lift high frequencies into the room. Any modifications to the Heresy changes the sound. It may sound different but not better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Follow what Paul Klipsch said: Put them in the corners and toe them in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
You are listening to Q sound. Pink Floyd used it on “The Final Cut.” Waters used it on “Amused..” , “The Pros and Cons Of Hitchhiking” and “Radio KAOS.” You can place the speakers 2’ to 4’ apart and your head equi distance from them and hear an actual sonic hologram. But moving your head as much as 1/8” it dissolves into stereo. BTW I think “Amused..” is a brilliant album. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can I get Forte's sound quality w/ Klipsch monitor speakers?
Tony Whitlow replied to mjcmt's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Your question has been answered. No small monitor is going to give you that Forte sound without a sub which will clutter more. Keep your Fortes. They do not look obtrusive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Tony Whitlow replied to mjcmt's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
The Fortes look right at home. Why are they too big? What would you put there in their place? Heresys have the same footprint with less bass. Smaller monitors would need a sub that would take up more space Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
