UberChurl Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm new here in the forum and have a question about speakers. As much as I would love to use Heresy's, I just don't have enough space in my listening room. I would like to hear some opinions on bookshelf speakers I can use with a Jolida JD-202A integrated tube amp until I move the gear into a larger room. I have the chance to purchase a pair of KG 1.5's for $100, but I am not familar with that model. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Long ago, in a galaxy far away, I once owned a pair of Klipschorns . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hi UberChurl, Welcome to the Forum! $100 is a good price if you are picking them up locally and they are in very good shape. I have two pair of KG 1s in my garage and they get the job done in that setting. I think the 1.5s you're looking at would sound good with your tube amp. However, these smaller bookshelves are all starved for solid, full bass. You could add a sub to cover the low end. If you're moving into a larger room fairly soon, I'd save your $100 and put it toward a larger pair. I'm told Heresys RULE with tube amplification. Good luck!

Cal Blacksmith Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 On the other hand, I have a pair of KG1.5s as my rear speakers and they do a great job eh even if there is not a LOT of content there. The $100 is a fair price if as was said, they are in good shape and local. They will NOT sound like Khorns thoug GRIN![] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberChurl Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 After giving it more thought, I've decided to hold out for a nice set of older Heresy's. I just can't let go of my enjoyable memories of listening to a couple of unfinished birch beauties back in the 70's. I'll either move to a larger room or chuck some furniture...GRIN Also, I'm really curious to experience the sound of a Jolida JD202 through a pair of Heresy's.

Rivernuggets Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 That's the spirit! Keep looking at the Garage Sale thread here at the forum. Or post a 'want to buy Heresys' there. Members here are very helpful and someone may be looking to sell their pair. Good luck in your Heresy search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
