  1. Thanks for your insight. I listen to only vinyl. I use quality vintage decks with quality carts. and stylus. No hum what so ever. I guess I’m pushing the boundaries of amp power and heavy bass as a previous member replied. I will experiment some options. One thing is I also run external super tweeters which one thing the H1s don’t need. They are all ready heavy on mid and high from the factory. The heavy highs I get cause me to boost the bass. Sounds great but maybe unnecessary. If I back the bass up I’m sure I won’t get the popping.
  2. Thanks. I was thinking that with two sets of Heresys going on a two channel receiver(Marantz 2270)that I’m diminishing quality at higher volumes. Would changing my remote speakers(301 instead) less starve my mains. With four Heresys I’m getting popping from my woofers. I do like bass but not to the point of distortion.
  3. Is it maybe a case of too much of a good thing with having two sets of Heresys for the receiver I’m using? I definitely want a remote set of speakers going. Does it change things if I go to maybe a Bose 301, which is a 2 way speaker, perhaps?
  4. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
  5. Very helpful info. I will try your suggestions on my settings. Dumb question........equalizer a no no? With receivers bass, mid, treble set to flat. It’s not hooked up but I did purchase one.
  6. Thanks for your reply... I haven’t tried a cd yet. Has a good set of soft rubber feet on it. The lps I was playing were a tad on the less than mint condition. Surface crackle. I’m wondering if that didn’t have something to do with it. I definitely heard the speakers pop though. Not vinyl crackle. High volume, not distorted and bass at 90%, mid at 50%,treble at 100%. Like I said I never had this happen with the nova 8s. It did happen with a set of Bose 301s I had hooked up but that didn’t surprise me since I kinda thought the 2270 was a bit much for them.
  7. I listen to only vinyl on either an Empire 398 or a Pioneer PL-61. I use either a Shure M-91 or M-55 cartridge and genuine Shure stylus. However last night I noticed I was getting some “popping” from my Herseys (two sets, main and remote) Music was at a pretty high volume with average bass. Kinda concerned. My nova 8s never did this. Granted they don’t sound as good either. What should I be looking into. Replace caps. Woofer? Thanks for any help.
  8. I just got my remote set of heresy ones hooked up to my Marantz 2270 (rebuilt). Wow. Four heresys at once. Listening to an original vinyl copy of Mother’s Milk by the Peps. I heard a little bass pop on taste the pain. Should I worry?
