And you probably wouldn't need a sub at all. I would go for Heritage instead of RP all day long. Shakey I have to agree. I’ve had my Forte 2s in big rooms, small room and a big room with high ceilings. They sound great in any size room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I also use the exact same Marantz unit - highly underrated. You will be fine. It matches well with Klipsch products. go for the best speakers you can find/afford. The Marantz could be changed down the road. In the mean time you will be very pleased. I'd lean towards Fortes or if fortunate Cornwalls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Nothing but concur with what ChrisA posted. I tried Klipsch towers RF line in my several small spaces, better to follow his advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just above budget even by selling the Moon and Arias I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abomb Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I have a living room that is about 26×16. The ceiling runs from 8ft up to 13ft. Would the Heresy iv be large enough for that space or should I go with the Cornwalls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschtastic Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I have Cornwalls in a similar sized room. I’ve tried my RP160s in there as well. The Cornwalls fill the room with ease, probably could fill a room twice the size. The RP160s actually rock out pretty good in there too but they don’t have nearly the dynamic headroom and punch at moderate volumes and higher. Not to mention less midrange detail but that’s not a fair fight. I would imagine the Heresy’s would split the difference and maintain most of the midrange detail. With a sub I bet they’d be great.

Abomb Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Thanks for the info! Which Klipsch sub would you recommend for a room this size if I pair it with the Heresy IV's? Edited February 27 by Abomb New info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschtastic Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I use an SVS sb3000 with my Cornwalls, though it hasn’t been on in awhile. Lol. It has all the power you’ll ever need in your room. I would suspect the 2000 or even 1000 might be enough. Honestly there are folks on here who are a lot more experienced and knowledgeable than me on the subject. I can only relate what I have. Back to the speaker vs room size. I c did compare the JBL L100 classics and my KLF20s to my Cornwall IVs in my room. Even though the JBLs and KLFs were plenty of speaker for the room, the Cornwalls still had a bigger wall of sound that could be appreciated. Kind of like a 75 inch tv is plenty for a home theater for most but if you then put a 100inch screen in you’d still appreciate the larger image.

imeiamme Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 So preference for floor models isn't necessarily a thing for most people? I have seen Heresy IV, and Jubilee systems. probably a few others too. I am still learning. I see the compressions systems with crossovers. That is what I want. I couldn't imagine a system without it in any room. I mean now that I know that they exist. I was looking to build something similar in reference to a home sound system. I always hated when they talk so low and them ... BLam! something blows up and it shakes everything, including setting off car alarms. Yeah, I really want to see what fun I could have with a $13k floor model.

Abomb Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Lol...if it wouldn't be a death sentence I would be happy to spend 13k on speakers. Though donations are fully welcome. 😊 Edited February 28 by Abomb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
