Heretic AD614 : Stereophile recommended component and Reviewer’s choice!
Stereophile Herb Reichert wrote:
« The AD614s displayed an oceans-wide, minutely drawn, evenly lit soundspace that felt natural and relaxed, not exaggerated or contrived »
“…the Heretics’ upper octaves sounded creamy, extradynamic, and clear. The 614’s treble sounded uncompressed, wide open, and low-distortion, making sopranos, trumpets, and the upper octaves of the piano sound more intense than they did through my tiny Falcons or DeVore Fidelity’s broad-baffled Orangutan O/93 floorstanders.”
“ the Heretics proved they could play comfortably and enjoyably with a wide range of amplifier types. That’s rare.”
