Thats awesome! What better pedigree for a classic speaker than that?

How sick is it that I tried to find that ad and buy those? I just got a pair of IVs three months ago. I could certainly have seen those in another room ...... Hopefully they went to a good , loving home.

I agree on the Cherry. Mine were really light. I kind of liked them, having always had dark finishes like Walnut. They are three months old and are getting that nice grain contrast. They are darker yes but still have a natural look as opposed to stained which was like my Heresy III. I much prefer the natural Cherry. walnut is beautiful too. It is a tough choice. I was all ready to get Distressed Oak but I didn’t really like it in person. Black and the new grilles are a sharp contrast too. Tough decision . I’m glad I went with Cherry.

Heritage speakers are reliable, but the new 10 year warranty has a lot of value to me. Plus I'm OCD when it comes to condition so buying new meant no disappointment. I used to work for a company that would open brand new stuff that was not selling and sell it as B stock. So sometimes you do get a true open box unit. Sometimes you got something that saw 6 months or a year of use and was repaired and reboxxed....you never know

Enjoy. !!! I am loving mine. Probably the best money ever spent on audio. They are awesome. I am also running my subs rolled off at 45 Hz and a steep slope via my Velodyne SMS 1 . The bass is so good with the Forte IV that a sub really isn't necessary in the appropriate sized room. I use the sub when playing movies mostly.

That’s awesome !!!! You will love them I’m sure. Lots of great info and a great community here. Enjoy

I’m in our delivery van, about 15 away from Westford.....so tempted

Craigslist boston. WESTFORD MA. Look mint, if I didn't just buy my girlfriend a dog, these would have followed me home instead

Those look tiny in front of the Jubilee.... That finish makes for a very cool looking speaker. Enjoy !!!

Hope you end up dialing them into your liking.... I had to experiment a little with placement but it paid off.

I picked up a pair of Heresy II oiled oak for my brother a year or so back. They were beautiful, obviously loved their whole life. only bad part, no serial number tags.... so I guess they are a matched pair. I got a good price and he loves them so I wasn’t so hung up about their provenance They appear to be stock and sound great. However, if buying new, I would want the Heresy IV.... not a copy of an original Heresy

I miss my Heresy III... they were a great speaker no doubt. As I posted earlier I wasn’t even looking for a new speaker (lie) but after hearing the Heresy IV and Cornwall IV and also hearing the Forte IV was voiced similarly I bought the Forte IV sight unseen. Best money I have ever spent on audio... also the most spent, but worth every penny. You will love them.

I don't currently have my Vault's analog out connected but I think I just may run analog out to my preamp.... I used the analog outs when I had Tidal. Using Qobuz and RP mainly when streaming. My DAC recognizes the MQA Radio Paradise stream as " 88.2k" can anyone explain why? It identifies the "CD" quality stream on RP as 44.1.

Don’t get me wrong, would have loved to get CW IV... could easily justify the $1500 difference but I am absolutely loving my Forte IV . They are the perfect size and sound pretty good in their own right.

I like RP. It has turned me on to a lot of great music

I like the blue... I like the orange too...tough choice, I would get a spare pair to have both of those colors....

welcome. This is a much friendlier place ! I picked up a pair of Heresy II for my brother last year. They were really nice, oiled oak. I paid $500 but up here in New England thats actually not bad. I owned Heresy III and really liked them, should be good deals on those. I actually went to listen to Heresy IV to hear the difference and ended up buying Forte IV. If not for a generous trade in I would have kept them....

Enjoy. Great speakers

Be sure to post pics when they are done..

The Cornwall IV are pretty awesome.... you should listen to them...

Very sorry to hear this , please accept my condolences. I just spoke to him a week or two back about a Heresy project he was working on. Sorry for your loss, he was a good guy.

Ouch

They definitely look nice. Each one is a little different which adds to the cool factor

Prices are crazy up here in NE......I bought my brother a really nice pair of Heresy II for $500 a year or so back and I thought it was fair considering what some of the asking prices are here in Boston.

Basically anything Quicksilver is built like a tank and sounds good. Ever use that amp with Forte ?
