Stayed home and tested a few pieces that are FB Marketplace worthy at best and finally pulled the Heresys down and put these jewels in their place. My garage is my HT, tool room, junk room, gear boxes storage room and daughter's band room. It is a total mess in here. I dare not let you people see it. I will say that I hooked up the Heresys to an Onkyo 805 playing an early 90s Technics 5 disc player (MASH dac) and they are spectacular. They're about 4 feet apart and the width of the Soundstage is easily 15' wide. It's crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow Cat on FB, she stays very busy, and does very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is we don't "get down" with movies anymore, probably because the space isn't very conducive. Ok ok I'm going to show you what I'm working with.. but first my current situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Haha, that pics looks awesome, has that lived in look. I'll bet that's a fun room. That little Roland amp is sweet, has a nice tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 For years one of the heresys sat on top of the P37 box next to the refrigerator. Now that surround is on top of the fridge so I gained that I suppose haha. I will wall mount them, maybe around 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wstrickland1 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 And yeah it can be fun. We have very comfy chairs at least. It's a helluva garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine that hahaha It has some interesting tube tones built in though. And much lighter, more durable. I have a Marshall 40 watt tube amp, but it never goes mobile.

Cat's straight up acoustic, I just got that for her to play around with and a couple of her guitarists early on were good but had total crap gear. Same with the Fender Rumble 800 fir the bass players. Now she plays with older guys who have their own stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The guy I bought my RS-7s from was using them as mains in a basement setup. I never tried them that way but they work fantastic as side surrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching now and I like it much better. 4 RF-7s, an RC-7, 2 RS-7s and 2 RSW-15s in this junked up place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had visions of breaking them down but the foam in the LaScala and palladium boxes are just as big. Then we were going to move and I was going to sell most. Then I was going to toss the boxes. The good thing is it acts as sound treatment against the garage doors . Like I said the RS7s are way better back there. We have been watching Sneaky Pete and are thru about 10 episodes. Last night there were actually surround effects. Didn't have anything before to speak of. It was a much more enveloping sound. I like much better. Now I can finally get these Heresy's to a customer of ours that does high end cabinet work. He's going to put some really nice veneer on them. Not sure what just yet.

jimjimbo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 So I guess if you happen to want to sell anything, you don't actually need to say "Original boxes...." you can just post this picture...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably be best if I didn't post this picture. You and I know that there's not so much as a scratch on anything but you wouldn't know by looking at that fkery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
