I had this problem with my Decware Zen too. Contact Steve at Decware and ask him if he thinks you need to connect the two negative speaker terminals with a wire. He explained this in a forum and it worked but contact him first to ask. All I did was literally connect the two negative speaker terminals with a 7" single speaker wire.

Sounds more impactful. I assume the crossover is set to make the bass either more audible or louder, relative to mids and highs.

Made a few here.

The bass is obviously audibly improved.

I was stunned at the results of this video using this method on the older Heresy. Any thoughts on using this method?

OB won't have the thickness or meat on the bone without subs. Also, several businesses are now capitalizing on the open baffle popularity because it used to be such low cost but it's clearly obvious now that the market is being taken advantage of because OB speaker prices are becoming ridiculous and one might as well just go with the Klipsch Heritage at this point if they're gonna spend that much money. As much as I have experimented and use open baffle speakers, my feelings about their exploitation in abusive ways has changed since 2022. It's not a very cost savings option anymore with the inflation of material costs.

Good heavens the build quality of the parts back in the day are unforgettable. I wish things were built like this nowadays.
-
In order to perform better, subs are needed with OB's.

Then I highly suggest the Heresy I, II or III and just save your money. No need to spend extra money on a Heresy IV.

Forte 1's here and love them.

Nothing. They seem more budget friendly. They have a lot of good reviews. Now I just gotta save up for them, and see how much I can get for my Triton 7s.
The Heresy’s are stupendous speakers, even the H II. I love mine and in fact they sound better than my forte in the smaller room because the forte has a bit too much bass with the acoustics of my smaller room.. My forte sounds nicer and breaths better in the larger room. In this demo, if you wear earbuds you can hear the bottom end of the Heresy II. The IV has more audible bass but you have to turn the volume up a bit to get the bass driver to move to a more audible level.

One of my rooms is the same size. What's wrong with the Heresy IV. Perfect for that size room.

Every Hertiage speaker model except the Heresy (which has about the same) and the La Scala has deeper bass extension than the Three. What you are perceiving as "more" bass is likely the orders of magnitude more bass distortion that the Three will produce over any Heritage speaker at the same volume. The reason that the La Scala cannot go very deep is because it has a folded horn bass section, and the cutoff frequency of horn is related to the size of the horn and its flare rate. The La Scala is a compromise between the ultra-low bass distortion of horn-loaded bass and the size of the cabinet. If Klipsch were to design a new bass horn for this speaker, say using the same horn-loaded vented system used in the Jubilee and the upcoming Klipsch horn subs, then it really wouldn't be the La Scala anymore but a new model.
Also, while the MF and HF are highly regarded, there are improvement that can be made. Roy will reveal what those are during the class during the PWK Birthday Bash.
Appreciate your response. I was sure there must to be a constructive reason. Thank you, Daniel

Interesting about the mid and high frequency being blacked out because it gives the perception they are just working on the upper frequency rather than the bass and ironically the upper frequency is what is often actually praised while the lower bass gets criticized. I would rather hope they would work on the bass instead. It's amazing how huge Heritage speakers are with all their cabinet space, yet don't go relatively deep in bass. If subs can be added, then why with all that speaker volume can't bass just be integrated into the speakers themselves? Even my Klipsch The Three has more audible bass than a couple of these Heritage speakers and I can easily hold it in my arm it's that small.

Quite informative.

Yeah, with my Schiit Aegir or Vidar I've used my SYS with great results like you described. I also have one of those Nobsound passive preamps as well and it works just as well. I use the Nobsound simply because it has a nicer volume knob and it's smooth.
Thanks for the recommendation. I love the Nobsound so much, I don't even bother with the SYS either now. I reviewed it here.

Thanks for posting.

Updated again with a demo for those interested.

I think it would be constructive to get the ups and downs of each speaker based on ones listening experiences. I'm sure they are both very nice in their own ways. It's hard to get constructive feedback due to the fanboy crowds.

I think about $1000 to $1200.

I had no idea how amazing the Jubilee was until I heard it for the first time last year. Of all the systems I've ever listened to, it is the most amazing.

the Altec Model 19 cant be compared to a Lascala -Khorn or even a Cornwall , it was basically a large 70's studio monitor with veneer and grilles
I've heard others discussing these two before. May I ask what the issue is you have with the 19's? AnaDialog gives them a pretty rave review. I'll most likely just end up with LaScala's anyway but the 19's sure seem attractive, performance wise.
-
Interesting thread. I was just asking these same questions. From what I've gathered, they say the 19's go down to 30hz vs the La Scala's 45-50 Hz? I haven't heard a La Scala in a proper setting and I've always been curious how a horn loaded bass sounds compared to a conventional front firing woofer. The thing about the 19's that seems so attractive is that from what I've gathered reading online is that they have amazing highs and midrange and that they also deliver great bottom end or at least more than likely enough bass to please my jazz listening desires. My Forte 1 is said to go down to 32 hz and I love their bass already. I just wish it contained the large scale of the midrange the La Scala is said to have. Curious to hear others thoughts describing the horn loaded bass of a La Scala.

Thanks for the comments guys. Good info.

Yea, that's the one thing about Decware. They have a lot of hum issues. I messed around with their phono stages and couldn't get rid of the hum nor could the owner of it. Also, the youtube guys have been asleep for years on testing Decware. Wasn't until those reviews came out that customers were on this absurd 2 year waiting list. I sold my Zen and haven't looked back after receiving my modified ST35 and ST70. Decware are nice amps but there's other great amps out there too without these hum issues.
