geezin' Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Just got finished watching a utoob review. Guy owned them for awhile and says it's what you push them with that brings out what they are. I am considering a pair of Heresy IV (new-10 year warranty-can use right away,ect.) and cannot afford them as well as a new amplifier (although I will eventually have a Schiit Vidar but first things first) sooooo........how much truth is there to that? I have my Fisher 440T and Topping PA3s to choose from. Do any of you guys believe either is a good match for the H4s? I'm leaning towards using the PA3s 'cause it's quiet. I do not seek audio nirvana just a pair of speakers that I will see a large improvement over what I have. That would be Klipsch R-610f and even the 25 dollar Polk Monitor 5b I picked up recently.

Schu Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I think synergy is really important... HOWEVER, just about/nearly anything will deliver a measure of satisfaction and performance. that's why we have the statement 'Diminishing returns'... so there is no right or wrong answer. One thing to remember is that, klipsch Heritage speakers are VERY revealing so they will let you know if what you have in as far as amplification is a good match, or not. You wont know until you try in your own listening space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 21 minutes ago, Shakeydeal said: OP is asking about H4 and this is your go to? Be careful people, this one probably hasn’t heard either one. He’s been known to fib…. That is a strange answer. Get rid of a great speaker and replace it with a lesser one and still have to decide on the amp. OP I would not worry about buying more and would just use what you have. Those PA3's will do just fine pushing those H4's. If you decide need another amp I have migrated to Crown XLI800's and they sound great and are dead quiet. I push some big gear with these at times and often have smaller boxes hooked up to make sure they are right before I sell them off. $275 each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezin' Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 I'm sure the 8000F is a nice speaker however I seek a 3 way speaker. I'd like some La Scala but..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the price of a pair of new Heresys you could get a nice pair of used lascalas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezin' Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 Yep. No 10 year warranty plus I don't want to have to mess with them. Spent my life messing with stuff and now buy things that are what I want w/o having to change things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I power my H4s with a refurbished late seventies Technics 35 watt receiver. I like the results. Maybe focus more on room and placement than power amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 You'll experience a massive upgrade going to Heresy IV compared to your current speakers. I've read tons of great reviews about the PA3 and think it would match very well with Heresys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
