MikeGinIllinois Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 In my main setup upstairs I have an HK AVR 7200, 2 Cornwalls, and two Synergys with Sony rears. Since I am crazy about HK AVR 7200's and 7300's I just bought another 7200 for use in my office. I now have four HK's in my house - 2 in use and 2 in reserve. Thank you, Ebay! Anyway, here is my question. When I hooked up this used 7200 with my Radio Shack subwoofer and refurbed Sony bookshelf speakers there was a refreshing uplift in quality, balance, and presence. However, the Sony's are not delivering the joy my Cornwalls do, of course. My buddy suggested replacing the Sony's with a pair of Heresy's. Has anyone used Heresy's with an HK AVR 7200 or 7300? Is it fair to characterize Heresy's as "baby" Cornwalls? How do you think Heresy's match with an HK amp? Could I lose my subwoofer if I got Heresys? Thanks much for any comments.

mungkiman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 My opinion is that you will need to keep the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 yes, you will need a sub with the heresys if you want bass. The heresys sound good but have no bass (as designed by Wilbur). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Is it fair to characterize Heresy's as "baby" Cornwalls? Many have described them that way but without the Cornwall's lower extension. How do you think Heresy's match with an HK amp? I have heard quite a few on this forum mention HK/Heresy combos. Could I lose my subwoofer if I got Heresys? For HT a definite no. For most music you could get away with it if you take advantage of available boundary gain but much better(deeper Hz) with a quality subwoofer. The heresys sound good but have no bass No low bass but midbass punch is great, IMO. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
