Klipsch Heresy IV Speakers, $3200 per pair

(24.81h, 15.5w, 13.25d, 45 lbs, 99dB SPL)


Heresy 4 is a new, improved version of Klipsch’s iconic Heritage entry level model. It’s still made in Hope, Arkansas. H4 is a fanny kicking 12” 3-way in a beautiful real wood cabinet.

Heresy 4 is significantly improved in several areas.

  • K has made the cabinet a little taller than its predecessor. This has allowed space for K to install a port on the rear which deepens the bass response.
  • K has a new mid driver using a polyimide diaphragm – for greater speed and detail.
  • K has a new titanium tweeter with wider dispersion, portraying a larger sweet spot.
  • K has a muscular 12” accordion suspension (vs over rolled) surround woofer. This big boy can hit hard but is also very fast due to its construction.
  • K has an improved crossover, wiring and binding posts. This.. improves the sound more than you would expect.

The tweeter now comes in at 4.5k. In H3, it crossed over at 5k, which is more traditional. H4 has a bit less bite, or brightness, than its predecessor. Hence H4 is more extended in the bass and smoother on top, than the already highly regarded H3. This, is a win-win result! Stronger, yet smoother and more revealing.

Note that Heresy runs 99dB SPL. That means you can drive it plenty loud with ANY amp.
The industry is full of $3k per pair speakers that need Herculean amps to wake ‘em up. Not so with Heresy.

If you have a modest system and want to move up, speakers will give you more performance for your investment than anything else.

The beauty of Heresy is, you can mate it to a $600 NAD C328 or better yet, Rogue Sphinx V3, $1700 and H4 has more to give you with each step!

After hearing traditional speakers, Heresy sounds lightning fast, punchy and enormous. Contrast that with virtually anything else for the price and you’ll ask, “Where’s the beef?” The size of the image and IMPACT Heresy delivers with the right music- can make you squeal with glee!
