The heritage generation IV have upgraded audioquest inside. BTW all speaker cables are not created equal. There is a point of diminishing returns, but lamp cord compromises SQ in a big way.
When I want to party I stack my 80s Heresy's on my 80s Forte's backed up with a powered CV 15" sub , all brought together via a Marantz 2250B receiver. I stream from my I phone to the Marantz via iFi Audio Zen Blue V2.
Own the H2's after my H1's were stolen back around 1988 when my apartment was broken into. Bought my H1's from the audio / visual store on RAF Upper Heyford in 1981 for, I believe $500 for the pair. They had Cornwall's, La Scala's & Klipschorn's at what would be an absolute steal today. If memory serves the Klpschorns were $3000 a pair. I would love to pair My H2's to a McIntosh MA5300, maybe some day. Just love these speakers, they're so crisp and clean and such a joy to listen to.
Thank you Fernando for taking the time and care to show us HiFi buff's from around the Globe the the full spectrum of the internals of speakers to the appropriate amps to use and great demonstration music... To you and your work colleagues and families have a happy and safe Xmas from Down Under...🙏
The best videos are those in which a large variety of devices are opened and we can get a glimpse of the approach and quality of different manufacturers Thank you for the opportunity you allow us to see it
I find Klipsch speakers to be a bit fatiguing with long listening sessions, but I haven't yet had the pleasure of listening to them on tube amplifiers and I'd like to someday. Regardless, they are beautiful, classic designs. Thanks for the video.
I’m impressed with the quality, and the metal binding posts are a nice touch. I have a pair of $8000 B&W speakers that came with plastic binding posts. Never understood that.
beautiful production, love the easy and honest conversation, and am genuinely interested in these Klipsch speakers. I'll ping you through your website. thanks so much!
Fantastic review. I’m a big fan of SkyFi and am always lurking on your site. I have the Heresy IVs hooked to Conrad Johnson LP70 (70 wpc) and Conrad Johnson LS17 pre. So full tubes. It’s really breathtaking. I’ve heard far more expensive speakers driven by far higher power. I’ll take my little system anytime.
I've seen a lot of that type of foam over the years dry out and become a crumbly mess. Hope this isnt the case for these as I plan on purchasing a pair. Also, I see a lot of cost saving measures in that crossover.
P.S. they do sound good though over You Tube. Playing on my Ancient "Apogee Calipers ". Your room doesn't sound that bad either. Maybe because it's so Open and all equipment and shelves are working like acoustic diffusers and bass traps ☺
If I had the budget I'd get these in a heartbeat. I've got a pair of Heresy II (in Cherry) with Crites x-over and tweeter upgrade. I put them up on short stands (about 8" and angled up) I have for JBL L112s. I've cycled through many speakers in my room including Spendor, B&W, Dynaudio, JBL, but I keep coming back to these. Even though they are a little colored sounding, they are also reproduce music in the most natural way. With a REL sub (don't be afraid to turn it up) and Line Magnetic tube integrated (KT88s) they are the best I can afford. 20 - 40 watts seems perfect. I like them better than the bigger Quartets. One day I'll upgrade to the IV or La Scalas
Excellent video, really appreciated the breakdown. I recently moved from the Heresy III to the IV. They are both amazing at their respective price points and offer differentiated listening experiences. The IV is more performant and presents additional clarity and resolution. Both can be driven with low wattage and seem to respond well to tube amps. I've run them with EL84, 2a3, and 300B amps and in each case the Heresy reveals the tube's respective signature. I've also enjoyed higher (barely, ~25) wattage amps from Decware, first watt, and Schiit. If you like a very "live" sound you can't go wrong.
I think the mcintosh mc75 mono blocks would sound terrific with those, my wilson duette speakers are 89 dB efficient and work work just fine with them.
Fernando too bad you could never meet big Paul k, epic character ya know he was also a pilot. Enjoy the heritage, try a lascala on low power amps. 25 tube , 50 solid state. Epic.
Although I am not recommending it, according to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975, a manufacture cannot void the warranty should the costumer open up the product. The onus is on the manufacture to prove something that the customer did justifies the voiding of the warranty. The law applies despite any stickers the manufacture might place on the product suggesting otherwise. By the way, I am listing to this podcast through a pair of black La Scala, a pair I purchased back in 1984 for $1,600, still the best money I have ever spent.
Hi, my name is anthony I live in London England and Iwatch your TH-cam channel and I understand that you do an infrared remote control or a techniques Real to real my model is the 1700 in black. What would be the price of that equipment? Thanks
great, thorough video! would love to touch on a few other things as well, though. what's your opinion on the quality of the crossover parts in the heritage line? klipsch says they've been upgraded from past models. would also like to hear your listening impressions on these with mcintosh. i'm guessing you must enjoy the pairing as well given the mock system you built up with the heresys. i've got forte iv's and an ma2275 and have been pretty happy with the combination. hoping you dive deeper into these speakers and others from the line!
I tried them today with a pair of MC75 monos and they did great. Definitely not needed but a nice bump in bass impact and drive. I would have to open up an older pair to compare crossover quality.
Understandably I've been buying and listening to collective since 1975.. put always seek out the previous model of the heritage speakers that you want and you will save thousands of dollars and the difference between let's say the heresy three and the Harris and four are virtually no different to each other and the way they sound and the way your ears perceive them in the average size living room bedroom or basement
@@SkyFiAudio I still have mine, in oak, and also the Hercules Chicago speaker stands that I believe were designed to go with them. I haven't used them in awhile though.
@@SkyFiAudio Have you ever had a Braun PS-500 turntable in your collection? What did you think of them? I still have mine. I never throw anything away. Still have my first good turntable a Philips GA 212 and an AR The Turntable with a Linn arm. Just sold my Discwasher Zerostat, and that thing was old too.
These may have been great 30 years ago but do not measure up to Dynaudio or Magico… I have an tr foamed pair of AR9ls that still today will thump these…
Head to head listening to music for 99% of consumers these Klipsch blow the doors off Dynaco and Magico, the difference alone in efficiency is ridiculous, almost any amplifier can drive these klipsch to produce window shattering low distortion high SPL operation, the Dynaco and Magico will need an Arc welder of a amplifier to even come close to have the same high SPL capability.. Just Hookup a Klipch Cornwall back to back with any of those other speakers and Klipsch literally makes it sound like a toy, the dynamics and high SPL capability are unmatched, its not even close .. Yes those other brands will produce a flatter more sterile line on a graph with a test tone, but what matters is how they play music and good luck outperforming these Heritage Speakers. At high listening volumes Klipsch are the king and even at low listening volumes the Klipsch are remarkably clear.
Hi Jebreh. The term for the resistors are: "ceramic wire wound," and they are non-inductive at the frequencies encountered in the audio spectrum. They are a perfectly logical solution in this application.
i had a consecutively numbered pair of Heresys in unfinished birch in the 1970's (about $500 for the pair) . i drove them with a B&O 4000 stereo receiver with source provided via a B&O 1900 turntable spinning european pressed recordings . i built birch plywood cube stands to match the speakers and get the sound directed to seated ear level . the cabinets were topped with 1/4 inch clear glass , which glowed with backlighting . high and midrange were crystal clear and the lows so solid they could knock your teeth loose . the Heresys were visually beautiful and provided a clean uncolored sound . i met Paul Klipsch at Audio Systems & Design in Omaha back then ... a highly intelligent , interesting and congenial person - long gone .
I got a pair of H4 this year. They are a quantum leap over the I/II. They are a noticeable improvement from the III. Mated with a sub, they will fill a large area. I also learned that the heritage klipsch can be ordered in custom veneers, not just walnut and oak.
I think Klipsch using a stamped speaker basket show cheapness towards saving money towards themselves. Those iron core inductors look like cost cutting too But I guess everything is made to a price ? I guess they saved themselves $200 . What are they, $4000 a pair ?
I have the Klipsch Heresy H700 or H1 speakers from 1967 upgraded the tweeters to Bob Crites and replaced the original caps with Sonicaps fantastic sounding speakers they are powered by a 1965 Pioneer Magiceye tube receiver that has been fully restored with all caps replaced approx. 14 watts really a dream come true in audio for me a pleasure to own and enjoy music through this amazing sound system. Shout out to Skyfi for the Klipsch love.
Please keep up the great,entertaining vids Fernado. Especially when you dismantle and show us what makes it tick. Always enjoy vintage load speakers, the new stuff doesn't have the precision. The Heresy IV tip toe feet prove that.If you move it, by pulling it the one gets ripped out. Small thing, but disappointing
If Klipsch would brace the cabinet better, stop using stamped steel basket for the woofer, and utilize some top shelf crossover components, then yes, this speaker would be worth the asking price. It is not rock solid, tap on it, yeah, you'd expect more for your $3200.00. It looks the part, but they cheesed the internals to no end.
Love it ! I have Cornwall iv’s in black ash and I LOVE them. I’d be interested in a Macintosh integrated pairing. Thinking that’s next on my list to go with my Cornwalls Thanks for a great video. Next time I’m in Jersey I’m gonna try and stop in for a visit. Just not sure when that’ll be.
Yes Klipsch has no excuse and should be ashamed to use this budget level crap passive components in there very expensive heritage line of speakers. Iron core inductors yuk! 10 cent sand cast resistors 50 cent Chinese yellow low resolution polyester caps to smear the audio signal all wired with crap PVC wire! Top it off with junk plastic ferromagnetic binding posts. All for the grand sum of thousands of $$ no thank you ill pass.
@@bmw540iable Low resolution polyester? Sounds like a bad shirt. Crap PVC wire? Does the PVC affect the sound? I really like the term "Sand Cast" though, try "ceramic wire wound." Thanks for the chuckle!
I suggest a Dynaco ST-35 at 17.5-WPC. Or, a Dynaco SCA-35. Have fun. If I were nearby I’d drop off my ST-35 which you could operate full range or run just the tweeters with it and something else for the mids and lows.
Never cared for Klipsch spkrs, but they’re a consumer-grade product. Horn drivers are too bright, not smooth sounding. Got my vintage KEFs & Thresholds which deliver a certified Class A performance. Clarity & dynamic smoothness. Listen to equipment with your ears, not your wallet.
Sir, wow what a great presentation. I look forward to the next model up the line. Thank you so much for taking your time and expending the effort to present this "FOR FREE".
Always play some music with the equipments in your video. It's not ideal, but it's much better than nothing. I get a lot of information I need from those demonstrations.
I have a pair of 1977 Heresey 1 that are just perfect. I have no plnns to upgrade as thery are perfect for my use. With that said the newer models just keep on looking sexier and sexier.
I've hit the end of the internet 5 times now trying to find it - does anyone know who makes/made or model that is wood&brass equipment rack? 10 Life Points will be awarded!
I’ve only seen the Heresy online in black and cringed every time ! I’m clad you’ve showcased the black, they actually look very nice and the grills really make for an amazing looking speaker! I bought a pair of vintage Heresy ll last year in walnut (not sure if they had different finishes then) and I’m driving them with a modern Yamaha A-S501 in silver which not only ties with that vintage vibe but also sounds very clear and yet natural to satisfy the audiophile in me. I own ten pairs of different vintage speakers and the Heresy is my favorite. I can understand why it’s your go-to speaker in the warehouse! I enjoyed this video thank you!
Makes you wonder why some audiophiles sweat over fancy speaker cable when the speakers are wired internally with ordinary zip cord and spade lugs.
The heritage generation IV have upgraded audioquest inside. BTW all speaker cables are not created equal. There is a point of diminishing returns, but lamp cord compromises SQ in a big way.
Because they are easily fooled by words.
Cuz of length bro
Everybody hypes up what they are selling...even speaker wire which is a bigger gage than the wall plug on the amplifier. An Ipod can drive a K-Horn.

Nice setup with the speakers, wow. So low watts is all we need, amazing.
I am using Heresy IV with Pass INT250.
It's magical. Rock, metal genre sound awesome.

I've finally landed a pair of the IV's. An astonishing addition to my system.
Glad to hear you got a set. Hard to beat at that price.
You cannot beat anything from the Klipsch heritage line. Thanks for sharing Fernando, your addiction deservers a warehouse, possibly a hanger.

Horns and tubes are an excellent combo. No fatigue whatsoever
@@yrmthr Looking forward to trying it out someday!

Fantastic, I've got Cornwall's and Heresy...never been disappointed.
Do tell, what you like about each model?
Disassembly... Respect. New Sub and thanks from long time Klipsch owner/fan. Cheers
Ahhhh... finally a speaker review with real music. ( not the modern boom boom with a screaming diva stuff ). Lovely. Thank You.
Wow, what a dream room of Audio!
Please come visit some day!
P.S. they do sound good though over You Tube. Playing on my Ancient "Apogee Calipers ". Your room doesn't sound that bad either. Maybe because it's so Open and all equipment and shelves are working like acoustic diffusers and bass traps ☺

Love my Heresy's
That luxman is a great piece. Nice choice.
Enjoy your great presentations!
Beautiful speakers. Thanks for your video
You make great vids. I will be getting the Heresy IVs!
Very enjoyable. Thank You
I have the cornwall 4s. With a luxman 509x. A goldnote dac/streamer and the luxman 151 mark 2 turntable.
I think the mcintosh mc75 mono blocks would sound terrific with those, my wilson duette speakers are 89 dB efficient and work work just fine with them.
I did that just today. They sounded splendid and welcomed the extra headroom. Good call.
Great detailed and informative review...thanks Fernando. Any idea of the band in Andy's Groove clip you played?
Fernando too bad you could never meet big Paul k, epic character ya know he was also a pilot. Enjoy the heritage, try a lascala on low power amps. 25 tube , 50 solid state. Epic.
I drive H4s with Inspire tube gear by Dennis Had. 5 watts of single-end 6V6s are magical.
Have you tried the Heresy with a Sansui G 6000?

Glad you mentioned this sir. I've always wondered about it. Nice to hear you La Scalas are still going strong. What a great investment.
Question ? do the horn drivers, thread into the horns or does the driver blot up to the horns?
Pass XA-25 or a First Watt F7, or, a McIntosh MC275, for an amp with a little more power.
Just have to say thank you. to cover all i have to say
Your very welcome. Thanks for watching.

A stamped basket in a speaker at that level of play? You gotta be kidding me. My 6 and 7 series Bowers are cast. Seems rather cheap for the price
Very nice review.
Glad you enjoyed it. The Cornwalls are next.
It should play nice with the old Olive series from Naim !...
spot on Americo. Big fan of the Olive series. What amp are you thinking?

Can you recommend a speakers for a vintage marantz 2230 reciever
What was the Jazz Track, please ?? Thank you
Silly that luxury loudspeakers don't use Neodymium magnets. They are much stronger than the other kinds.
Who makes that audio rack?
I would like to hear the Jadis with the speaker. Thanks
Thats next on the list, thanks Keith.
10-20 vaccum tube watts = 50-100 solid-state watts (in my opinion)
Their greatest sounding speaker is the Lascala but its 13k.
Looks budget at premium price!!
How about a Dynaco SCA 35 ?
Understandably I've been buying and listening to collective since 1975.. put always seek out the previous model of the heritage speakers that you want and you will save thousands of dollars and the difference between let's say the heresy three and the Harris and four are virtually no different to each other and the way they sound and the way your ears perceive them in the average size living room bedroom or basement
Nothing really changed on the speakers design since the 60s 70s. Certainly not worth the price.
Is that a Spica TC-50 I see in the front area?
Good eye, just listed that amazing speaker on our website this week. Has a few upgrades too.

Still using cheap crossover parts. Even sandcast resistors
Hi Jebreh. The term for the resistors are: "ceramic wire wound," and they are non-inductive at the frequencies encountered in the audio spectrum. They are a perfectly logical solution in this application.
Klipsch and tubes, no better combo...
they look way better with the covers off

But I guess everything is made to a price ? I guess they saved themselves $200 . What are they, $4000 a pair ?
I think the stamped basted is appropriate for a vintage re-issue. I bet folks would complain if they changed over the cast aluminum.
I have LaScalas and Chorus 2. Both fantastic but the LaScalas on a tube amp with REL subs are pure bliss
I have Heresy III powered by a decware 2.5 watt amp. More than enough power and excellent sounding
All that money for “stamped metal” basket…?

First time hearing about you guys. Such a cool and interesting video. Love your shop! New sub 👍
This is almost the same system my father had in 1969. Back then the Heresy's blew away the JBL's!
I prefer them sealed . I use REL subwoofers and prefer to add bass that way
A 225 is definitely not punchy enough for the JBL. I have tried.
Chipped the lower right of the speaker. 😢
haha, good eye. Ill fix that right up.
Try it with the Sansui 5000x you will get the low bass
I have a pair of 1977 Heresey 1 that are just perfect. I have no plnns to upgrade as thery are perfect for my use. With that said the newer models just keep on looking sexier and sexier.

I’ve only seen the Heresy online in black and cringed every time !
I’m clad you’ve showcased the black, they actually look very nice and the grills really make for an amazing looking speaker!
I bought a pair of vintage Heresy ll last year in walnut (not sure if they had different finishes then) and I’m driving them with a modern Yamaha A-S501
in silver which not only ties with that vintage vibe but also sounds very clear and yet natural to satisfy the audiophile in me.
I own ten pairs of different vintage speakers and the Heresy is my favorite.
I can understand why it’s your go-to speaker in the warehouse!
I enjoyed this video thank you!
The grills defiantly improve the looks of the black. finish. Glad you liked the video sir,.
