Top Rated Gear: Klipsch Heritage Series Heresy III Three-Way Horn-Loaded Loudspeaker, 400W Peak Power, 58Hz-20kHz Frequerncy, Single, Cherry Includes: Single Speaker

First introduced in 1957, the Heresy, a three-way design, started out as a compact center channel speaker to accompany the Klipschorn in three-speaker stereo arrays. In 1985, they made some changes and improvements to this model and re-released it as the Heresy II. Today the new Heresy III has a more powerful woofer, bi-wire network and a titanium diaphragm tweeter with a larger magnet assembly. The midrange compression driver also features a new titanium diaphragm. &#149; A three-way design using horn-loaded Titanium diaphragm midrange and high frequency compression drivers. &#149; Direct-radiating 12-inch woofer for powerful low frequencies. &#149; 99 dB sensitivity delivers Smooth, dynamic and low distortion sound &#149; Available in a high-quality Black Ash, Cherry or Walnut wood veneer finish &#149; Made in USA All of these changes result in improved tonal balance and increased output. In fact the Heresy III is three decibels louder (96 to 99dB), improving on its already high sensitivity. In addition to delivering smooth, dynamic and low distortion sound, the Heresy III is available in a high-quality cherry, walnut or black ash wood veneer finish. Included is a slant riser base for floor placement that can be removed for cabinet installations. Because of its relatively "compact" size, this model offers the greatest degree of placement flexibility in the Heritage Series line.

I have been using this speakers for last 5 years and I am in love with them.

5 years in love with my Heresy iii

I PURCHASED A PAIR OF THE FLOOR LOUDSPEAKER HERESY'SIN 1981. THEY STILL WORK AMAZING, NEVER A PROBELM.

HERESY SPEAKERS

I bought a pair in 2019 after much deliberation. I stupidly sold them after a couple of years. Now I want them again, because I studied the whole speakers thing a lot. I mean, finding something better for the money is an ordeal. They may not be perfect, but they're OK. I'm buying them again. There are tons of speakers around, but these sound good, sound big, sound loud and are much more musically accurate than is commonly though. I've worked my whole life as musician; I've owned a lot of things; Heresy IIIs are nice companions in the home. Recommended.

Great value for the money

While mine are 42 year old original Heresys, they still blow people away with their ability to rattle the fixtures, but also reproduce music at dinner party levels that captures the entire range of the music. I cannot tell you how happy I am to own them. I?m sure they could be upgraded, but I think they do the job for me!  And I even met Paul in one of his trips to New England!

Supurb sound

Thoroughly enjoy the sounds from these speakers.  They are crisp and fast.  Large sound from relatively small and well-built speakers.  Definitively worth the price.  Much improved from my older Klipsch speakers.  Adorama service was excellent.

Thoroughly enjoy the sounds from these speakers

I own several pair of Klipsch starting back from 1979 and my first pair are still in use.

Excellent quality product

I purchased three heresy speakers to fit under my 135" screen.  They are solid, heavy and have a fine furniture veneer finish.  But, even more important the sound quality, dynamics and imaging are outstanding.  Listening to music and movies at all volumes is crystal clear, with the horn based tweeter and midrange all but eliminating my untreated room reflections.  
These speakers way exceeded my expectations.

Awesome set of speakers for my theater

Not up to the hype. I paid 30% less than original price. I play both my tube and intergrate vintage amp.  I would not recommend this product. Yes I move speaker around put on floor , stands.

Not happy

As much as I'd like to consider myself an audiophile, I'm not, but purchasing a pair of Klipsch Heresy III speakers is helping me head in that direction! I have only owned the speakers for about two weeks, so this is my preliminary review. 

Looks: 

Walnut is normally my go-to for all my furniture but from the pictures I saw online, Cherry is what looked bright and more accurate to match what I already have. I did extensive research, both online and in-store and never found ANY speakers that look so elegant and classy! 

All speakers were tall and took up a lot of space. These look like a pair of accent furniture to the collection and look amazing!

Build Quality:

The speakers are SOLID. They are heavy but feel extremely durable and well-made. As long as you take care of it and maintain the wood by regular cleaning and/or polishing, it will probably last you a lifetime. 

Sound Quality:

AMAZING! I use Onkyo TX-8160 (another great piece of equipment) stereo receiver to power these bad boys. I primarily use it to play music off of Spotify and other music streaming services. Secondary use is to watch TV and movies. Yet to watch an action movie but I'm sure it'll be epic!

I listen to a lot of Hip Hop, Electronic and Bollywood music and the highs and mids are simply fantastic! The speech and audio quality for TV is crystal clear. Several reviewers online didn't use a sub because they were happy with the speakers' lows, however, I'd disagree. This is personal preference, but I have a 8" Polk sub powering these speakers, and they sound magnificent. 

I'm yet to read the product manual and tweak the settings to really get the most of the sound but from the initial use, I ABSOLUTELY love it. My fiance is still appalled by how much I spent on these speakers, but thanks to Adorama, I was able to get a deal!

Adorama Service:

Service was prompt and fast. The package arrived intact. Would order again!
