Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

speaking of the 'Skilsaw' tendency of the Heritage Klipsches

Know what? This weekend, I spent a bit of time listening to my Fisher 500C on the Cornwalls. This is an astonishingly "warm" combination. The MR and HF drivers and horns on the Cornwalls (same as the Heresys of the same era, I think) can get pretty brutal depending upon program material and amplification, but they were pretty well behaved with the 500C. Bass of this ol' warhorse receiver, though, is a bit "whumph-y"... more the lush, romantic, boozy/hazy 'tube sound' that folks who don't like tube sound complain about. The EICO HF-81 is all-around better sounding, but the 500C certainly made music effortlessly on the big ol' Cornies. One of the Cornies is hiding under the 500C, and behind the Allison One and a Bob Brines-esque ML TQWT in the photo that should be visible above.

Back on topic: in fairness, it's certainly possible that the Heresy III's are different than their progenitors.


all the best,
