My old Heresy IIs reproduced a lot of David Sanborn and others, very nicely too.
No wonder you got that response out of him for that heretical request

I count myself extremely lucky being in this area. As mentioned I am a drummer and the location allowed me to take eight years worth of private lessons during my last few years in elementary school all the way through high-school with Joe Morello. Dave Brubeck's drummer, who played on Take Five. He lived in Hyde Park which is very close to us.
WOW!!

There are several of us up in the NE USA! USA! USA!

Now that is the kind of info that the folks here more in the know about acoustics could work with!
Might take a little but I was interested when I saw this over on the right side of the page! Others will be too.
Mention where you're located there have been some beautiful sets and amplifiers that sold recently here.

Geeze. Finally got to meet with a urologist today, 12 days later.
That took less than a day back home before I had to get one of my own.
Possibly six weeks until any procedure☹️ Then it will be at Virginia Tech, slightly less than two hours away. Doctor did leave me with a good impression though. Bad new is there's an 8mm one in my kidney that he will take out too.
Could use a shot tonight, but won't for a good while now!

Up front for Ted & Aero several times did it for me!
That's kind of why I mentioned between one and three
peppersdollar signs. Because if what you get is too bright furnishings that don't cost a lot could help. If it's cushy like a button'n'tuck 70s Camaro interior might have to dial it back. So remember to rtfm on the Klipsch you end up with, you could download it if need be. Not familiar with the Dayton gear except some of their woofers. But it takes less wattage to make sound out of the Heritage line the higher you go. Check the garage Sale thread here to get an idea about pricing on previously owned speakers!-

Did I ask the wrong question?
I doubt it! It's a lot to take in... 16 X 24, angled ceiling, open to the high end of the ceiling? Or on a side?. What flooring? Speakers have a clean path to that "sweet spot" that your favorite chair or sofa will go in? The home theater enthusiasts here can really go to the n'nth degree. It could be $$$ or maybe just $
Honestly Cornwalls wouldn't be a bad place to start. If the speakers are on the low end of the ceiling could it work like a bandshell?
Next up are the furnishings in that room. That has a lot to do with the sound you'll end up with. Upholstered furnishings help with the sound, wool or other rugs help also. Heavy curtains can do a lot for the sound. Al the cushy stuff could be over done though.
So unless you happen to "get it right" out of the gate it's always going to be a journey instead of a destination!
Good Luck!

what's coffee?
Drank some dark hot stuff Saturday for the first time in a week, hurt so bad later that I've got beans just sitting there.
That song played where I was when I was little! The Stones version was more my speed later on.
*Found a good link earlier, I haven't been after their 4th LP too often.

Afterr listening to the DJ's play over at the vinyl thread, I've stretched the jam out a little. This is only a few of them.
This

Been a while, first tune on this one could be a great phone alarm!
pulls up at one of their jazz tinged jams
He left his earlier music behind when he got his "White Chip" so to speak. Quit playing some of our faves the last couple decades before he went home 7/6/20.
That's how it started with the coffee and laundry earlier.
Now I'm up and pinballing around.

I recall everybody loved workin' on their Datsuns back then.
It was always to "improve"... drivability, handling, heat the fuel line in the wintertime.
Endless possibilities that were all cheap!!

I can't say that I don't like the soft ride it offers. It is a comfortable car.
Oh Yeah, and you know that is what their niche in GM was long ago. Even their late 60s 4-4-2s had a good ride. But you'd better have enough air in the tires to handle the roadways!
Being a youngster was a lot of fun!

I lived right near there in the 90s. He wasn't off of Howell Branch Rd! I'd have heard him then!

I've been attributing a quote that I like to the wrong guy for a while now.
In a thread yesterday expressing skepticism I used "Believe Half of What You See and None of What You Hear". Marvin Gaye, Leon Haywood even Ben Franklin said something similar to the above and Ben might have been the first to use it! Edgar Allen Poe is notable in this list of users of the thought of critical thinking.
Lou Reed used it well in his politically charged "New York" release!

I can't make sense of why he's not doing a good job stating his case. The method he uses clearly made an improvement to the audible bass because he was able to add the desired amount. If one listens with headphones it's very obvious.
I admit to not watching it all.
1. Did he ever show the board he's using to enable/disable HF LF on those speakers? & show what's enabled when he does the playback?
2. Did he show what is inside those Heresy where the wires are going to the crossover addition?
3. Didn't see either of the above & stopped playback. Doesn't pass the test for me
& did you read that I KNOW more wattage can improve H, M or L Frequencies?
I actually bi-wire my F-3s & have taken a lot of flack here over that
"So What!" It means 60w to each woofer, 60w to each HF instead of 80 w per channel !
I believe firmly in one of Lou Reed's songs that has the line in it "Believe half of what you see, None of what you hear" (think that was his friend George) He was a skeptical New Yorker, I just grew more that way over the years!

I'll resist, except to say he admitted the heresy were not set up the best they could be (in corners, unobstructed, on the floor).
More wattage can produce better sound from a speaker as long as it's clean and not too much wattage for the speaker.
He does not do a good job of making his case!

I'll need some of that good Booker's but sadly no. Can't have any of that anywhere near all the near and real opioids I've run through this week.
Got one that actually worked for eight hours without me feeling dopey so I've got to save some until I have it bad again or have to go into town. The Dr. and Hosp are an hour away with cooperative traffic.
What I had saved up that helped out greatly without pharmacies out here in the sticks were from 2017 & 2018 they still worked! Triple bagged with astringent capsules in the bottles and each zip-lock.
That all started with this:

Room size and speaker choice
in General Klipsch Info
Posted
I have, or had.. (not sure after almost three years with an evil relative) Forte IIIs. Pushed with 120/channel clean & good Cambridge Audio.
They would fill a room that size open to the hallway and to a larger room with a 17' cathedral ceiling.
As much as I liked the increase in bass response, and imaging over those 1990 H2's? I also missed the slam of the closed box Heresy II.
I could be abrupt and say LaScalas or nothing at all
but I think the Cornwalls might could fill that area authoritatively. Both of the Heritage series that I had could also be played softly without a loss in the sound of or the character of the music.
I'll also point out that some input from others on this would be best from your viewpoint. Not a disclaimer but everyone's got opinions and experiences.
Hang tight, read more in the HT threads and wait for some more responses here.
You are talking about something that could serve you for decades... or longer!
