    I will always trust my lying ears over measurments. I use them (measurments), as a rough guide for basic parameters of the overall speaker. There is often truth in the old adage, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

     

    I agree. The specs are interesting, as in it is interesting to see how something measure as to how the maker says it should, but in the end, it is your ears that are the final "measurement".

     

    I like that Stereophile has the hard core measurements and the "emotional" measurements. Gives one more info that way.

    Which is why I think IMO anyway they labeled them Heritage Wireless vs Heritage, they did create seperation

     

     

    Agreed. "Heritage Wireless" or "Heritage Inspired" seems like a good way to tag along with the Heritage products, but keep them separate too.

  3. I am not saying, nor has anyone else (I think) that Heritage speakers will be discontinued - especially as it seems they can not make them fast enough. 

     

    Just do not want to the see the "Heritage" moniker diluted.

  4. I agree, I can not see any Heritage being discontinued.

     

    I suppose, that IF a new speaker were hand-built in the USA, of fine woods, and used PWK's engineering, it could be called Heritage. That being said, would it take away from the caché of the "true" Heritage speakers. Maybe not.

    Moreover, his "favorite all-around speakers"? Magnapan .7s; with freq. response 45k–22kHz and sensitivity of 86dB/2.83v... ?

     

    I had a set of Magnapans and loved them too.

     

    By "audiophile" standards (whatever that is really) these are NOT audiophile speakers. But, they sound great and are fun to listen to as well.

     

    Having returned to audiphilia after being out of it for decades, I am finding that most "audiophiles" look at the price tag first (must be expensive), the looks second (be pretty) and the sound third.

    I think it's done on purpose to have the ability to keep the Heritage line operational. 

    But then that implies they will discontinue some of the Heritage speakers in the future. Not sure I see that happening.

     

    Then again, Bose killed off the 901...

    So then by this train of thought there would never be a new Heritage model?

     

    Correct. At least to my way of thinking.

     

    Heritage line is just the select few that have been made before the '80s, but maybe I am short-sighted.
