It's easy to understand why audiophiles love the Heresy. The quick, punchy sound of an acoustic suspension cabinet, with the horn-loaded mids and highs that Klipsch is known for. This pair is excellent both inside and out. The crossover points are right as rain, and the drivers are immaculate. We actually wondered if the owner knew the grills came off.

- Liner Notes
- The Klipsch Heresy was originally introduced in ’57 as a center channel speaker to go between two Klipschorns in larger rooms. When Paul Klipsch came up with the idea and the design, people told him he couldn’t do it, that it was acoustic heresy. “The hell I can’t,” he said, “and that’s exactly what I’m going to call it.” The resulting Heresy was a 3-way, acoustic suspension (sealed) design with a horn tweeter, horn midrange, and a 12” accordion surround woofer. The design has remained largely intact ever since.
