Labsolut Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hi. I have lots of experience with old Heritage gear, 1977 Heresy speakers combined with 1985 KG4 speakers and a Klipsch Sub, all driven by a Luxman R115. I have owned most of it since new, it is now at my farm. Needless to say we can entertain the wildlife! I am moving to a new home, already built, and want to create a new multi room system, anchored with modern Heritage series gear. I already bought a brand new set of Heresy IV speakers. At a bare minimum, I will buy a second set for another main room. This system is going to be music only, no TV or theater stuff. I would like to incorporate some modern amenities like Bluetooth for whole house access, and possibly be able to zone it for outdoor use, and possibly something like Sonos speakers/system in lesser used rooms. I am looking for recommendations on the Amplifier and system, with priority given to what will get great performance out of 2-4 Heresy 4 speakers, and possibly more. My experience with the older Klipsch is that the amp definitely made a difference, regardless of power. Finally, I have an extra set of KG4 and KG2 speakers not in use up at farm. Could this older stuff pair up well with an amp that meets my needs with the modern H4’s? Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 ideally , you need to purchase a couple multichannel receiver --integrated amps , with at least 100 wpc , so enough power to drive the Heresy speakers ------YAMAHA stands out --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Do you have a main listening space that can accommodate Khorns or La Scalas? If so, that's your first ticket punched right there.....

If so, that's your first ticket punched right there..... I agree with you. I have had experience with both sets, hands down best choices. BUT, while the overall sq ft of home is good, no single space will do either justice. I love the smaller Heritage products, and in multiple smaller spaces they can be awesome. Technologically speaking I am a 1980/90’s era audiophile and Klipsch guy. I simply don’t know what amp configuration and/or brand to use now. Especially if I decide to throw some of my older speakers into the mix in my man cave/garage and run all of it of a central system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have particular models and/or combinations you would recommend? As far as the amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend the Yamaha A-S series if money is not the object but the sound quality is -these are analog amplifiers in the same range as the older Japanese Vintage 70's -80's amplifiers --so these are not digital amps - durable and reliable--the amps start at 60 wpc - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
