Klipsch

3-Way Walnut Heritage Series Floorstanding Speaker

The audio industry he helped to create told Paul Klipsch that his newest speaker -- effectively the world's first center channel, designed to sit between a pair of Klipschorns -- contradicted his own horn-loaded doctrines, amounting to acoustic heresy. Paul liked that idea so much he named his speaker after it. Introducing the Klipsch Heresy: in the pursuit of excellence, nothing is sacred.

Heresy: In The Pursuit Of Excellence, Nothing Is Sacred

First introduced in 1957, the Heresy was arguably the world's first center channel speaker, designed to be used with a pair of Klipschorns in a three speaker stereo array. Legend has it that an acquaintance told Paul Klipsch that his new design was in direct violation of his own fully horn-loaded principles and that it amounted to acoustic heresy. Apparently Mr. Klipsch didn't object... and decided to use the name for his new product. Today's Heritage Series Heresy III is a compact, three-way design using horn-loaded compression drivers for mid-range and treble reproduction and a direct radiating 12" woofer to carry the low frequencies. From it, you will hear the result of over 55 years of stringent engineering and class-leading research and development. Like all Klipsch products, the Heresy III features Horn-loaded Technology -- the guiding design for the first Klipschorn developed in 1946 and for every product that has followed. Horn-loading allows the speaker to deliver very high sensitivity, low distortion, flat frequency response, and broad, controlled dispersion. This translates to unequaled power, detail, and dynamics, the hallmarks of "The Klipsch Sound."

In The Words Of The Original Mr. Klipsch

"I wanted something with a closer approach to accuracy in reproduction."

Sixty years and a zillion devotees later, you might say Klipsch got his wish.

Like the original Klipschorn, the Heresy III generates rich, full, smooth, ultra-low distortion sound. It also utilizes the same horn-loaded design as the Klipschorn, making it highly efficient and able to produce high volumes consuming very little power and undetectable distortion. Does it have the Model K-28-E 12" fiber-composite cone woofer with folded horn? Check. Does it have the Model K-53-TI 1.75" Titanium Diaphragm Compression Midrange Driver With Exponential MF Horn? Check. The K-107-TI 1" Titanium Diaphragm Compression Driver Tweeter? Check. Does its compact form permit a wider range of placement flexibility than any other Klipsch Heritage Speaker, including a slant riser that is easily removeable for cabinet installation? Check. Would Mr. Klipsch have been uber-proud of this speaker? Check. Do you need it in your living room? Check.

Upgrades Ala Mode

Today, the new Heresy III has a more powerful woofer, a bi-wire network, and a titanium diaphragm tweeter with a larger magnet assembly. The midrange compression driver also features a new titanium diaphragm, an upgrade from the phenolic model in its predecessor. All of these changes result in improved tonal balance and increased output. In fact, the Heresy III is three decibels louder (96 to 99dB) than the original, improving on its already high sensitivity.

Klipsch Craftmanship

Music to your decibel-damaged ears, this baby is also a pleasure for your eyes. A meticulously crafted work of audio artistry, the Klipsch Heresy III loudspeaker enables you to experience the high quality sonic performance of the concert hall, in your living room. It is also meticulously crafted to look remarkably cool in all its walnut retro glory. Assembled by skilled craftsmen in Hope, Arkansas, where the Klipsch legacy began, these speakers have a legacy like no other.
