MikeSt Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'm moving to an apartment, and would like to try out a more 'refined'? sound to hear what modern speakers can do, compared to my old Klipsch Heresy I's and KG4's. The amp is a class D Onkyo, has good clarity and rolled off highs, some say tube-like. I'm thinking newer Klipsch bookshelfs, something not too bassy for the apartment. I mostly listen to rock, punk, indie, metal. Right now I've got really full dynamic range running the Heresy's and KG4's, I guess I'll have to expect a little let down there.

dollar bill Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Keep the KG 4's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSt Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Keep the KG 4's The Heresy's sound a lot better than the KG4's in the mid to upper frequencies, the only reason I use them is to fill in the missing bass for the Heresy's. I wouldn't use them in an apartment anyway because of the extreme bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSt Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Tubes have rolled off highs? Sure, hence the smoothness and non-shrill sound which is one reason they do well with Klipsch, which tend to be a little shrill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Mike, Another Idea or selection would be Energy Brand speakers. Here is one that would work nicely in an Apt setting. http://www.energy-speakers.com/na-en/products/comparison/default.aspx?ids=32%3b This is why I suggest Energy, or Jamo . Much less shrill than some Klipsch Products (or less in your Face)................... JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelA Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Try to find a nice pair of RB5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vote is to keep the Heresy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Another way to go would be to find some Heresy IIs and install the Heresy III upgrade kits, or just get Heresy IIIs if your budget will allow. The H-3s have more bass than the H-2s and sound better overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSt Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'd like to go the Heresy II to III route but too expensive for me right now. I sure wish I knew you could do that before I bought the H1. I keep hearing about RB-5's, they must be great sounding speakers.. and may be a great match for my Onkyo A-9555.
