Heresy II for turntable set up - Blu-ray Forum

astb41 · 02-16-2017, 08:38 PM

found a pair of heresy ii's on craigslist for $500. Going to listen to them tomorrow. Have a read a ton but haven't heard them myself. Lots of comments on a thinner sound or lacking deep bass. Anyone have experience with these? I'd be using them in a smaller house so I don't need too much and i mostly play classic rock (beatles, floyd) and mellow shit (iron and wine, norah jones). I've had my eye on the heresy III but for $2,000/pair thats pretty unrealistic for me at this point.

trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger...obviously need to hear them first but...ya know...

Herseys are excellent speakers. Very detailed and have a large soundstage. I have the model 1's for over 7 years and I love them. They are not super bass intensive, true, but they provide very detailed mids and highs and that's what I like about them. Most speakers lose all that detail in muddy bass, I've found.

I was perfectly happy with them for 4 years as-is, and then I bought a nice subwoofer and they are even better now with a little bit more bass, but not enough to overwhelm and drown out the music. I think you will like them. I mainly listen to rock (Journey, Foreigner, etc) and disco/pop like the Bee Gees.
