I purchased my Heresy speakers in 1989 and have enjoyed them immensely. They sound great at any volume because they are VERY efficient. Whether you listen to rock, jazz, blues, Motown, classical or country you will enjoy the sound. Paul Klipsch was told he was committing heresy for making these speakers and getting away from the horn loaded technology he invented. The word stuck with him and thus the name...

I have owned Klipschorns for 30 years. Electronics change,houses change,wife's change,but the sound of the horns has been constant.Its one purchase I've never regreted.Thumpy speakers fatigue the ears over time, not these.

A lifelong experimenter and designer, Paul W. Klipsch was a major force in 20th-Century American audio, winning numerous patents and creating many classic products that continue to inspire engineers today. Few mature audiophiles today could have failed to be influenced by the Klipsch sound. In the 1950s and '60s, Klipsch loudspeakers were essential components in high-fidelity systems. Powered by electronics from companies like Marantz, McIntosh, Scott, and Fisher, even the earliest generations of high-efficiency Klipsch speakers were capable of astoundingly lifelike dynamics and detail. The sonic realism that today's best systems can deliver is in many ways the result of ground-breaking work done by Klipsch with his Klipschorn, LaScala, Belle, Cornwall, and Heresy models. He was often quoted as saying, What this country needs is a really good five-watt amplifier. Tubes + Horns = Music
