MikeG Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Hello to everyone who reads this. I have a pair of Klipsch Heresy HW O speakers. They sound great and I want to know if there is anything I can do to keep them sounding good, or know if they need any kind of maintenance. Are these even good compared to the stuff that's out today or yesterday? I have a Sony DE-545 Receiver, a sony cd player and sony surround speakers. Another question I have is if a subwoofer would be a good investment for my room. I am on the second story and don't want to bother my family too much downstairs. If I get one will it help the woofers of my front speakers to last longer? Any feedback can help because I am clueless about this kind of thing. ------------------ Mike G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 "Are these even good compared to the stuff that's out today or yesterday?" YES! f> s> Superior to most, especially at that price point. You will benefit from having a sub. The Heresy's are great, but not known for real strong bass. And, as you say, if you offload the lower octaves from your main speakers, they will not work as hard.

What's a good subwoofer for a broke college kid?????? ------------------ Mike G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 How much money do you have to spend? And, have you got an old amplifier/receiver around that can put out at least 100 wpc into 4 ohms?

WMcD Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 There is a good argument that a sub will allow for good listening with less intrusion on the folks downstairs. I have some Forte II (very good bass) driven by a small Sony with the loudness contour "on" when listening at low levels. The sound is terrific and not heard outside the confines. It is probably a matter that I don't have to turn the overall volume up very much to get full enjoyment. Therefore, I'd say get the sub to have a source of low bass. Then do use "loudness" so you can hear the bass without cranking things too much. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeG Posted January 25, 2002 Author Share Posted January 25, 2002 Sony SA-WM40 That's what I'm looking at, I don't know about an extra amp, I just want to hook it up to my receiver and get a good sound. p.s. Thanks for the replies ------------------ Mike G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
