3dzapper Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I'm listening to my Heresys now with an SW-15 Sub. The sound is very close to the Khorns except for the speed of the bass. I have it them driven by my HT amp RX-V1 Yamaha and the sub is set to cross over at 60Hz and level matched with a Radio Shack SPL meter. Rick Edit: Don't confuse the SW-15 with the current KSW-15. The SW-15 was the high end Klipsch until the introduction of the RW-15 in the Reference line. The Sw-15 uses a 15" woofer and a 15" passive radiator with a 150 watt amp. I'll post a picture.

Olorin Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I wouldn't equate a lack of replies to a new post with a lack of people in the situation. Sometimes it takes time for replies to come. I'm using a Velodyne CHT-10 with mine. I'm happy with it. I only bought it because the price and timing were right, and it was right there in front of me at Circuit City. If I'd known about SVS at the time I might have tried one of theirs. I think most of the mega-chains will let you return them for refund within a set time. You could use that to your advantage by buying one, trying it, and returning it if you don't like it. If you have a local boutique shop you ought to be able to do an in-home audition as well. Almost forgot to mention, you can get a LOT of used sub for $500. Research a model on eBay, be patient, and try to pick one up at the bottom of the range. You can always resell it if it turns out not to be your cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 When I used to run Heresies I did so with the REL Strata 3 sub. This was the only sub I ever found that was muscial enough and fast enough to integrate seemlessly with the Heresy 2 speaker. I do not know how much these cost 2nd hand in the US - they are about 1,000 euros over here - new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Frankly, the Heresy requires a good subwoofer. It is 3 dB down by about 65 Hz. I built Steve Deckert's WO32. And it works well with Heresy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLKlipscher Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Do not buy Heresy's. If you want good bass, go Cornwalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerbache Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I'm enjoying the Hsu Research VTF-2 subwoofer with mine. It sells for $450 from their website, but I hear that it's backordered for several months right now, so it might not be an easy thing to find. I've been amazed by how much fuller the heresies sound with this sub. I bought it thinking that I'd try it out and see how big a difference it made, and that if it didn't do much, I'd send it back (they have a 30 day money back guarantee), but after hearing it a bit, I don't think I can stand to listen to my stereo without it anymore!

3dzapper Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Anybody know how much the new Klipsch RW-15 is selling for? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Delaflor Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Any sub? well, not exactly, but most of them will help your Heresy's. I would go for something that hits at least 30Hz with authority and then spend sometime to integrate it well to the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I've used the Cambridge Soundworks P1000 with LaScalas and found it fabulous in sound. It also has a little brother, which would likely be quite adequate. P500. It has a IR remote controle and is configurable along several parameters. Not hard to get dialed in, then enjoy!
