Very nice! Thanks for the feedback!

Love hearing you guys talk about the speakers you have at home. Would you do a series diving into the components you run with them? Would love to better understand the systems you out together for your space & listening tastes.

The comparison was great! Would love to see the same for speakers > 5000. I would like to know how the Forte IV compare to speakers like, lets say Wharfedale Dovedale, the Sourcepoint 10 and the Elipson XLS 15.

Thank you for the sound clip comparisons. For me, by far, the KLH model 5's had the best clarity. The female voice sounded better on the Model 5's, as well. When the kick drum started during her chorus, that was the clincher. The drum sounded the most realistic.

With the KLH being half the price of the Missions and sounding equal or even a little better in some respects, they are definitely the best value here. The Wharfedales were outclassed by those two.

Definatly the Mission 770 is definatly the best overall sound that I prefer with the model 5 second.

I'd suggest Heresy speakers belong in a "lively" 25'x30' room or larger with a high ceiling. I've owned these, and they were too big for me and sounded shrill and muddy as my room(s) was too small, but set up in my buddy's garage-studio they sounded amazing with some of the cleanest bass I can recall. Heresy's can work as stage monitors for a live band, so they're in an entirely different class than the rest of these speakers. If you're not sitting 15+ feet away, too close.

Surprise, DrSinisster! My #1 and #2 choices were the same; Mission 770 were my #1 pick, no doubt of it. The KLH, were to my surprise, my #2 pick! The Wharfedale, which I presumed ahead would be my #2 pick, were actually not! The Wharfedale Lintons were, instead, my #3 pick. The female singer's voice is what nailed #2 and #3 choices for me. I agree about Klipsch being my last choice, also. Never much liked the the thinness, the shrillness nor the honkiness (not here, but it's even worse) coloration of some horns. I have noticed that tube amps tend to work better for horns (especially with the super-warm, lush and smooth sound with the EL34 power tubes plugged in), but are still not a complete cure.

Thanks for the very informative video. I'm just wondering why the Elipson XLS 15 aren't included here? I would love to know how they compare.

Listened on Adam Audio S3Vs in digital mode and preferred the Mission 770 by far.

Great demonstration. This is one of the few videos where the comparison is valid. You guys know how to record music. The audio quality makes the judgements easy. The PSB and the KLH are almost the same. The Linton sounds bland, but maybe that's because the level is lower. The Heresy is just awful. The 770's are excellent, but not that far ahead of the PSB and KLH. The 770's are not worth over twice the price of the other two. I can't see anyone being unhappy with either the PSB or KLH. I currently own Ariel Acoustics 7T's so I think I'm OK for a while.

5:57 I believe the Missions have an 8" lower frequency driver, not a 10".

Would the KLH model 5 stands work for the Heresy’s? Or are they not wide enough? I know you mentioned you like the Wharfdale stands but I’ve been considering the KLH stands for my Heresy’s.

I have a pair of original JBL 100's. Which of these would be an upgrade?

The mission 770 was on another level...but surprisingly, the passif was amazing. It almost held its own against the 770. I know i will watch this one.

I Liked the Wharfedale and KLH. The Klipsch is a perfect candidate for your throwing game.

Any personal view on wharfedale modus four speakers. I pick up a set yesterday at a pawn shop for 20 dollars including the cubes. They sound amazing to me, but I cant find any reviews on them. Pls share

How do these compare to some of the vintage stuff? Like the Pioneer HPM 100s. What's the best match for a vintage reciever?

in my experience over the years, Klipsch speakers like big music recorded in a big live space, played-back in a big listening room via slightly "warm" electronics.

the Mission 770 at 27:00 you only played the bass lead part so I couldn't get a sense of the guitar rhythms. At first I thought you were looping the song and then I thought the 770 got rid of treble and mids all for bass for twice the price of the other speakers. Then I heard them again at 28:58 and I was like 'Oh there it is. These are way better than the rest'

Wharfdales are supposed to be played with the grils on, so why don't these guys know this?

I just got back into audio after a long hiatus. I'm surprised to find that I'm apparently a KLH 5 fan, at a very close #2 according to the tiny speakers in my computer monitor, and phone Bluetooth earbuds. My main system in the mid to late '70's included four Ohm C2 speakers two stacked per side, Luxman Amp, a Dual704 or Technics turntable, Micro Acoustic cartridge, Nakamichi Wedge 600 cassette tape player. BTW, about 50 years ago we would measure and equalize decibel output because some speakers were simply louder, but not necessarily better at the same volume. The overall best Missions are in another price range, appeared to have a louder bass, seemingly favoring mid bass over power draining lower bass. The Klipsch are at #5, not balanced, a bit harsh. I was rooting for the Wharfedale's as I liked the look, the staff each own the brand, and there's a beautiful pair of W70D on Marketplace at a bargain price, but they were #4 IMO. But if the Passif disappear into the room, they're my #1 pick for a medium size room, the KLH if it was larger.

My entire sound system costs less than $1100. My record/music collection however is worth about 20 times that amount. Never forget why you switch your sound system on in the first place.

those speakerswith the horns are like the old altec lansing speakers

What is song two on the ending comparison? Great guitar work.

I generally really like including sound reviews. What kind of mic was used? I ask because if it’s a directional mic it only captures what is in its direct path. It doesn’t really capture sound in room. So then any front ported ones will sound better than rear ported. I think there might be user error here as no other klipsch heresy Iv sounds like that on KZread or in real life.

Nice sound , KLH Model 5 but those Mission's have something.

They do!

I think for the klh 5 black is the way to go, with the grayish grills is sweet

Is there any surround sound amplifier that is only 17 inches wide. I need something really compact

I have the Heco Aurora 300 - Black Ebony - Bookshelf Speaker, it doesn't cost much and is certainly not bad

The psb has a passive radiator on the bottom, its not a three way it's basically like having a port on the bottom.

I'd love to know this as well!

I have a pair of sansui sp 20000 i match them with any ,, feeding off a tube amp

I’m on the fence between the KLH & the Missions. So I guess the KLH for me because they were So So Close but the price difference was the deciding factor ❤

I'm curious how the Mission speakers compare with the MoFi SourcePoint 10 speakers.
