Description
The Klipsch Heresy IV is a three-way speaker descended from a model launched in 1957, originally designed as a centre channel speaker to accompany the Klipschorn in three-speaker stereo systems. It now sits within Klipsch's Heritage range, with a deliberately vintage aesthetic and a high-quality wood veneer.
This fourth generation incorporates a bi-wiring network, a titanium-diaphragm tweeter paired with a larger magnet, as well as a midrange driver whose phenolic diaphragm has been replaced with a titanium diaphragm. These developments result in an improved tonal balance and a higher output level, for a dynamic yet smooth sound with low distortion.
Thanks to its relative compactness within the Heritage range, the Heresy IV offers the greatest placement flexibility in the line-up. It is supplied with a removable angled plinth, allowing installation on the floor as well as integration into a cabinet.
This model is aimed at enthusiasts of the Klipsch sound looking for a compact floorstanding speaker, capable of adapting to smaller rooms or cabinet installation, without giving up the brand's sonic and aesthetic identity.
What to check before buying used
The suspensions of the woofers deserve careful checking, as sagging or hardening of the surround affects performance at low frequencies. It is also worth inspecting the wood veneer and the corners of the cabinetry, which are prone to knocks and humidity damage over the course of house moves. A check of the titanium diaphragms of the midrange and tweeter, ensuring they are free of any deformation or dents, along with the condition of the removable plinth, completes the inspection.
