Nice! I also own both H2s and F1s and have enjoyed them, though I think each can benefit from DSP multiamping and tweaks as my much-preferred LaScala-anchored DIY system does. I've often recommended that Heresy owners boost the bass with a tone control, as being sealed boxes they can take moderate bass boost without woofer excursion problems. This video demonstrates that well.
Best-ever comparison between any speakers in recent times. Can actually hear the difference. Clever you ! Especially great comparing these well seasoned models. Love them both ! Initially streamed via car stereo and just now with headphones (Mezze 99 and Dragonfly Cobolt). Thanks for posting.
Great comparison video. I've had Heresy 1.5s for some time and just picked up Forte 1s due to your earlier review video. So this was fun to hear the difference on the st70.
If The recording is limited to say, 45hz there won’t be much of an audible difference in the bass. The mid range however, there is a striking difference being that the fortes presents the vocals further back in soundstage vs the Heresy IIs. But the heresy IIs are awesome and have always been legendary. I think I prefer the sound of the lil’ Heresy 2s in this demonstration. There is just something more inviting between toggling back and forth (from my cruddy headphones here at work.)
