In the first video he said he took measurements at the standard 1m and also at 54 inches given the larger size of the speaker. What would be the advantage of measuring at 5m? A speaker that needs a 5m listening distance to integrate properly isn't going to be of much use unless listeners have a long enough room to sit 5 metres away from it.Mmm, 10k suck out on a speaker for film ain't anything. He really needs to show the distance for the measurements, 1m or 5m makes a huge difference. The 2.5 way is an improvement for sure though.
Without distortion measurements talking about parts swapping is pointless.
Part of the flat line brigade which chants the mantra that a 'speaker is only worthy if ruler flat.
There is so, so much more to good sound!
There are cases where at great cost he's reversed deliberate designs in honor of his microphone-only approach and thus worsened time error, increased phase rotation, increased acoustical energy storage, and generally ruined the original sound. But when you have something to peddle and a simplified visual graphics to peddle it with, you can offend dozens of brands, impair sound quality, and still sell expensive "upgrades".So, random YouTube bloke knows more than both Klipsch and Tannoy now! Bet he knows more than Quad and the BBC too!
Remember that’s a very large American speaker and a UK price! It would cost a substantial amount just to ship it. It is definitely a budget party speaker, kind of Cerwin Vega market to my mind. The Klipsch Heritage range, of which the Heresy is a part, isn’t this at all (they are about £3.5k in the UK).
