NOSValves Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I kind of had a rude awakening this morning proving to me the more we travel in this hobby the little we actually improve... My 9 year old grandson that has been living with us for the last years was doing so exceptionally good in school that I decided to do a major overhaul on his bedroom about a month ago with a big screen TV for Xbox and TV, I also decided the kid loves music so why not put some of my spare speakers that I seem to refuse to get rid of along with a trouble free Kenwood KA-5001 SS integrated amplifier and Scott tube tuner.. Since the room is only 10' X 11' I decided it was the perfect place for my very first Klipsch Heritage speakers! 1984 Heresy! I enjoyed these immensely early on in my klipsch audio travels and remember saying many times those little speakers do something special that large speakers just can no do! I woke up this morning about 4:30 for some reason. Sat on the couch for about a 1/2 hour deciding if I could get back to sleep and decided against it. Made a nice pot of Swedish Skanerost coffee (thanks for turning me onto Paul). My grandson is at his mom's for a visit this weekend and I decided I go in there and listen to the Heresy's..... All I can say is Heresy's in a small room are spectacular! I spent 3 1/2 hours listening through tons of my music collection. My wife briefly got up at 6:30 took one look at me and said your a nut job! I said yea but you love me! Cheers! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 All I can say is Heresy's in a small room are spectacular! I could not agree more. They sound great in a 13L x 13W x 10H room also. Thumpy, detailed, accurate, big. I feel the say way about my HII's. Thanks for taking us down memory lane. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I use my Heresies with my Scott 222c in a 10x10 room. That sound is magical. Ots the reason i have a hard time understanding why people need a sub with Heresies. Sometimes its nice to keep things simple.

totalcomfort Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 My first pair of klipsch. Had mine in a army barracks room, was ALWAYS in charge of party music on weekends. No one in my company had ever heard of klipsch till then. Those little speakers just blew their mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobK Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Have to love the old Kenwood KA-5001. Super nice looking and built like a tank, hang on to that one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Have to love the old Kenwood KA-5001. Super nice looking and built like a tank, hang on to that one for sure. I actually have a few very late 60's to early 70's Kenwood SS gear. KA-5001, KA-6000 and a KA-7002. I also have a really good matching KT-7001 Tuner. I even have a really rare pair of optional full wood cabinets.. Bought most ofbtge stuf for $20 each at an estate sale Kenwood never gets the credit they are do...for SS they make great gear! For the most part I've never cared for the tube gear they made. Heck I even have a complete Kenwood system in the GMC truck. Sounds great for a car system 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul79 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yessir! I am a STRONG Kenwood advocate... This gear is so cheap yet so damn good at the same time. Enjoy them there Kenwood's Craig! It is really good SS gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Our tv room is a former attached garage, approx. 20x20 with 10 foot ceilings. We use the Heresy IIs for the tv audio, and it sounds really good in that room Great imaging, although I will admit to using a compressor on it so the dialog stays up. We did have a karaoke matching hooked up as Filipinos love that, and I started using the compressor to make sure they didn't blow anything up. btw, I absolutely love my wife and it isn't a criticism, it's just the way things are.

mustang guy Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My first experience with Klipsch Heritage were Heresy's in a college dorm room being fed by a JVC JR-S501. It was life altering... It was 1983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalcomfort Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My first Klipsch (cornwall) I heard were with a Kenwood amp. Never forgotten that day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
