pauln Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I had Heresys for almost thirty years and am somewhat of an expert on them.[] Those who hate Heresys have commited one or more of the following sins: Placed then on stands up off the floor and/or pulled them out of the corners Insisted on using mid-fi solid state amps instead of tube amps Played them way too too loud The Heresy tweeter is 3dB higher relative to the mid and low end than the rest of the Heritage because they are made to go on the floor in the corners. Their tweets are lower in elevation from the floor than the rest of the Heritage and the boost is to compenstate. Those that put them elevated up on stands are defeating the purpose of the tweeter boost and losing the low end as well. The Heresys were first introduced in the mid fifties, no transisters around at that time -all tubes. They should be played with tubes only. Using 80's and 90's SS is asking for trouble. Because of their efficiency many try to play the Heresy too loud just because it will do it. This is not the path to Heresy Heaven. By the way, what was it they got in the original?

wuzzzer Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Far Side for the win! I really miss those cartoons. I think it should say "Welcome to heaven, here's your Klipsch. Welcome to hell, here's your Bose" Hilarious! (In the original it said "Welcome to hell, here's your accordion.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 (In the original it said "Welcome to hell, here's your accordion.") "Here's your bagpipes" would have served as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three excellent points. I would add cheap jittery digital sources would only sound edgier with the tweeter attenuation up 3 db. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Myhamish...........that may very well be, but Levon Helm does that song with his daughter, and it is a high-light of his show.....and sounds real good on my lousy ([]) Heresy's..........

pmsummer Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Personally, I love Heresys. I also love bagpipes (and uilleann pipes), tubas, AND accordions. [Y] I've also found that I don't much time to hate hardly anything anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 "The Heresy tweeter is 3dB higher relative to the mid and low end than the rest of the Heritage" That statement is not correct. The Heresy type E crossover has the exact same relationship between tweeter and midrange as does the Type A or AA in the Khorn or Lascala. In all these cases, the midrange is attenuated 3 db in relation to the tweeter. Bob Crites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 That is why you're not supposed to put Lascalas or Khorns on stands either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Fini, "That is why you're not supposed to put Lascalas or Khorns on stands either." Now that was funny... But you can stack split La Scala's, just put the bottoms on top of one another, and flip the top section upside down bringing the tweeters together,... MMMMMM trust me, is sounds wonderful for BIG events! Colterphoto1, has done this outside at his house many a time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigbyt Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I traded heresy's for cornwalls recently but got to hear them with tube amplification at the guys house and it almost made me want to keep them! they sounded Soooooo Good with a tube amp.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser SET say Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 My advice is to take Paul's advice if you don't like the sound of your Heresy's[] Corner load them on their wedges with the base about a foot off point of the corner and you might just be amazed how different those little babies can sound[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
