Based off the spec sheet, they seem to fall between the Heresy and forte in terms of performance. My guess is they’ll be between the forte and Cornwall for price.

Mike_S Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Looks beautiful! Wonder why they chose the Hersey woofer over the others? That is the last speaker on my mind when it comes to bass. Would be interested in them at $5000, no way at $8500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebse2a3 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Congratulations to Roy and Devon…!!! I enjoy seeing people do what they love and this feels a lot like the way it was with the UJ where a bunch of guys got together and made friendships because of the love of audio and horn speakers. miketn 👏🙂 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P. Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Interesting concept; interesting speaker. Yeah; the price confuses me because you can buy a pair of Cornwalls for $2k less. It's not as efficient as a Heresy IV, and it's rare to see a 2-way speaker with a 12" woofer, but I imagine the woofer/tweeter pairing along with the crossover gives it a signature sound. I hope someone posts a link to a review when one is published. I think the greatest takeaway is the front vent. I sure wish the Heresy IV was front vented instead of rear ported, as much for flexible placement as for marketing the Heresy IV as a "mini-Cornwall" as I think a front vent adds to the distinctive bass quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Am I missing something? Many people have been run off of this forum for making "Frankenstein" speakers. Maybe I need to read up on it, but what makes this special enough to get a spot on the Klipsch home page? Or is this an actual Klipsch speaker? I see it was built in hope. What was so special about this horn over many others? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebse2a3 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I see this collaboration as a work of art with a distinctive sound and look which will speak to those who appreciate it’s unique qualities. I’m sure it’s not cheap to make those horns, stands or cabinets and thus limited production all add to cost as well as the engineering time spent by Roy again for a very limited production. Everyone has their value system and speaking for myself I see real value here and to each their own as it should because nothing is for everyone. miketn 🙂 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was so special about this horn over many others? Did you see the video available in the link in the OP’s first post? It explains why this speaker came about very well IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Chi-town Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 The value will probably take a major nosedive from $8,500.00 just like the McLaren series...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
