    ok, sorry.  not too familiar with the reference premier stuff & wasnt sure what 2.0 meant.  

     

    unless klipsch uses a newly designed plate amp & other quality upgrades on future subs from the majority of their past subs,  for the money i would look at other brands if you want a ready to run sub out of the box vs DIY... SVS, HSU, rythmic, velodyne etc. 

    I’m currently running dual pb-4000’s with my Cornwall 4’s.  I’d ideally like to sell them and get dual SB-3000’s tho or maybe another brand.   I’m looking for a small sub to match my the fives for outdoor listening mostly.  It’s totally not needed but I thought it would be fun.    Thanks for getting back.

    It took around 12’ of red cedar 2x4 and a little bit of stain for a pair of these. Around 35 bucks up here in Canada.     Also they are glued and screwed and Sanded smooth.  
     

    I just copied a pair of steel Stands I have for inside and it seems to

    works fine.  
     

    im happy how they turned out

    I hope you have better luck finding such a professional than I did. I called all of the furnture restorers within a reasonable radius (I live near Toronto, Canada) trying to find one to veneer my La Scalas. None would do the work.

     

    As a result, I'll be doing the veneering myself.


     

    I’m near Toronto also.  I was just about to start looking around for someone to veneer a gr research diy build.  Did they tell you why they wouldn’t do work on speakers?   If I find anywhere  I’ll chime back in.  If not I’ll be doing it myself also and then they are true diy

    Welcome and would think the 3 would be my choice.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your input.

     

    Update:       I ended up going with the three 2 in black.  All I can say is wow!  This little unit sounds great.  I wish it had some bass control for really bass heavy songs but other than that it’s fantastic.  
    I would still like to grab the fives one day though and see how they are also.   
    im really loving the look of the new heritage series.  
     

    I included a size/match comparison with one of my Cornwall 4’s

  5. I’m looking to set up some music outside on the patio.  Would a single the fives sound comparable to the threes 2?  I like the option of pulling the second speaker out when the time is right but plan on using it as a single speaker for most part. They weight about the same.  I don’t think the single 5 will be as loud?  But I’m thinking it will sound better?      Thanks in advance

    @Chandz   Welcome  , the klipsch Forum ,And Canadians from coast to coast   .

     

     

    the HF drivers of the CW and  Heresy IV are identical with the only exception of the midrange horns  , the real difference would be the bass , dispersion pattern and the size of the box  .

     

    a subwoofer  would balance the sound   if you are using the H IV  as standalones , which I do not  , my Heresy speakers are only meant to compliment Cornwall  / Lascala Speakers   and subs, I prefer to avoid .

     

    when I  1st got the Heresy , it took time to find the sweet spot , what I am saying ,  is you  will either be blown by the Heresy  after a certain time frame ,   or the speaker is not for you     .for my listening ,  the Heresy opens the sound of the HF with mild bass  when  it is placed  at a higher position  .

     

    as far as the amp , the Hegel has 300 wpc  , there is no reason why  it should not sound great with low distortion ,  think of the Heresy  IV as a  truer monitor at close range  .  versus a speaker all by itself in 1 room  , and the same can be said for the buchardt s400 mk2  to an even  higher degree   , since size really matters    .

     

     

    Thanks for the welcome.    Bass wasn’t the problem as I have dual SVS pb4000’s with my system.  It just seemed like the soundstage was low and small.  I will have to play around with them a little more and get them up on some stands.   
     

    does anyone have any height recommendations?

    Well, comparing to the Cornwalls is not exactly fair......I actually have my H4s on top of La Scalas which are sitting a bit out from corners.  The H4s definitely benefit from that setup.  I am powering them with a Mcintosh MAC4100 which is more than enough.

    I’ll hAve to get them Up on some stands and see if it makes a difference

    All I can say is that my Heresy 4s are terrific and highly recommended.  They are perfect for a smaller secondary system.

     

    Where are you located?

    I’m up in Toronto canada

     

    to be honest I purchased a pair of heresy 4 while I figured out what I was going to do for amplification and  figured I could test them with my Hegel h590.   I wasn’t too impressed.  I’m not sure if I’m being too critical in comparing to Cornwall or maybe they need less power?   That’s why I was thinking the h190.  
     

    also, have you tried your heresy on stands?   I feel like the sound is a little low?  I’m not sure what it is.    Just didn’t give me a wow moment 

     

     

    thanks 
     

     

     

  9. Hi guys I’m new here and really enjoying this forum.   I’m a new Cornwall 4 owner and I’ve paired it with my Hegel h590. I’m more than impressed and they sound amazing together. 
     

    my question is that I’m building a smaller secondary system.  I’m torn between these two setups

     

    Klipsch Heresy 4 

    hegel h190

     

    or 

     

    buchardt integrated amplifier 

    buchardt s400 mk2

     


    I know these systems are kind of on different ends of the spectrum but I’d love to hear what your guys thoughts are.
