jeverett Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I was wondering if anyone out there has spent any time listening to the heresy 3's. I'm looking at making a new purchase but there is no dealer in my area so I have no oppurtuinty to audition them. Generally I tend not to like metal tweets and I'm concerned they may be a little to bright for my liking. Also they seem they may be a little light in the base department. I currently have the Glow Audio amp1 (integrated) and the Arcam cd73 with DNM cables. any input I can get would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Cody_Mack Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 More input is needed from you: music preferences, size of listening room, present speakers, location (maybe someone will invite you over for a listen). Do you or have you ever owned Klipsch speakers? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent allot of time with the Heresy I II and have heard the III in the Hope demo room. Just last night I was at my friends house listening to some tunes and I was thinking how good they were. They are a tremendous value. You should really hear them for yourself. I think you'll be suprised at the sound quality. It is a winner. I could be happy with a pair. I am not sure 5wpc is enough for Heresy's and I'm a flea amp fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 The Heresy III has an improved tweeter and mid horn over the I & II. It now uses titanium diaphrams on tweeter and mids. The tweeter is also a tractrix horn. Many changes to the Heresy III and very important ones at that which results in possibly on of the best Heresy's to date. There was also a modest increase in efficiency.Increased efficiency is good.
