bigyank Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I have just purchased a very clean pair (HWO) and notice they are a little shy in the lower octave. Wondered if anyone could share some experiences with mating a sub (powered) to a pair of these! Yank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Shomaker Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I'm having the same problem as you because I bought a pair of heresys in december and found them very bass shy. I think I have decided on the Sunfire Super Jr. because it has a lot of output for its size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Heresys definitely need a sub although they arent particularly difficult to match. They roll off very early (-3db at 65Hz?) so you will need a sub that can reach up pretty high. Most subs have a hard time with the lowest frequencies (given the excursion require to reproduce the lowest notes) but do pretty well on the upper regions... so even a sub that doesnt reach very low will still make your Heresys sound much better. I used my Herseys for many years in two channel system with a sealed sub with very pleasing results. Which sub is best for you will obviously depend one budget, size/performance ratio that your prefer. When I upgraded to Cornwalls... I realised my sub, which did well with the Heresys, would not keep up with the Cornwalls improved efficiency and better bass response. Hope its of some help...

T_Shomaker Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I have changed my mind and I am now thinking about getting an SVS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I'm sure you realise the Sunfire and SVS subwoofers are entirely different subs for different uses. Sunfire balances its compromises with SIZE as it's main design criteria while SVS is built around Price/Performance ratio. I too prefer the price/performance ratio, but I also have an understanding girlfriend. In any case, you will love your Heresys with a sub I don't know how someone can do without one?

T_Shomaker Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I don't know when I will be buying the sub because I kinda want to buy a pair of skis. So maybe I could stop by when I have the money and I am ready to buy one. It won't be a far drive (I live in O'Fallon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popbumper Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hey guys: I ordered an SVS 20-39 PCI on Monday from SVS, and it's due here tomorrow (yippie)!!! I am driving a set of Forte's on my HT (not as bass-shy as Heresy, but still need some "oomph"). With all the good press I have heard/read on SVS, I took the plunge. I will review it after the weekend. Can't wait! Popbumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiEGO10 -aRG- Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hi.. I got a pair of Heresy 82' (I think, I should check this). I'm using a KSW12 subwoofer and I'm very pleased with it but you should know where are you placing them... the size of the room... mine it's not so big so that's no problem... Hope this helps, any doubt, just ask! Cya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
