    Comparison - RF-83s vs Heresy II's

    Reply Contact

    I have both of my speaker pairs in the same room, with my Denon AVR-2106, HK 730 and CrownXTi 2000.  I'm going to be running through all the different combinations (powering woofers vs tweeter vs both on the 83 with each source) and posting my results.

    All I can say from my initial listen is "Wow."  The Heresy's midrange is amazing - and the RF-83 is somewhat lacking in comparison...

    Very cool, can't wait to see how it works out.

    I also have RF-83's but Heresy I, I was thinking about getting another pair of I's but might also look for II's instead.

    Got stopped at the mall the other day
    Heard a call from the other way
    that I just came from, some ni**a was sayin somethin
    talkin bout "Hey man, you remember me from school?" smoke some
    Naw not really but he kept smilin like a clown
    facial expression lookin silly
    And he kept askin me, what kind of car you drive, I know you paid
    I know y'all got buku of h**s from all them songs that y'all done made
    And I replied that I had been goin through tha same thing that he had
    True I got more fans than the average man but not enough loot to last me
    to the end of the week, I live by the beat like you live check to check
