They are pretty damn good speakers.  Very efficient and accurate.  Only potential deficiency could be in lowest octaves at higher playback levels.  But that would depend on what your program material might be.  I used to use them with 18" subs for modern (rock & hip-hop) music at dance levels.  Mine (LSI-BG models) weigh a lot, due to the Fiberglas overlay, so they don't get out much.  I may use a single pair for a Record Collector's meeting, one of these days.  They would be fine w/o subs at more reasonable listening levels.

Thanks to any welcome messages I have not personally replied to.
I appreciate the very positive thoughts.

If there are any questions about DJ / PA gear, please pose them.  I have been around the block a few times and would be happy to help out, if I can.  Some caveats:

1} I do not speak Bose, self-powered plastic speakers or mp3 files.

2) I do speak Bozak, Crown, dbx, Denon, EAW, Klipsch, Rane, vinyl and 1st generation CD.

If you understand the differences between 1 and 2, I'm here to help.

Thank you.    Really Good Stuff is timeless.   

I used to listen to CKLW and WABC, when the skip was good.  That was on a 1960 vintage GE 5 transistor radio.  9 volt batteries were 69 cents and were made with mercury.  Ah, the good old days......

Hi Bill,

I was not familiar with the Heresy pro-line till recently,  Picked up a set a while back and they rocked my place for halloween.  Ugly as dirt, but good sounding.  Hope to hook up to some tubes this week.

Welcome!!


Congrats!!!!

Industrial Heresy’s are the most amazing speakers for the DJ market.  I bought my first pair in the Seventies.  They were HIP’s (Heresy Industrial Ported) and were both bulletproof and sonically incredible.  I’d still have them if they weren’t stolen when I lived in NY.

Over 30 years ago, I filled in at a bar for a friend who used whatever was the Bose Flavor of the Month.  When he returned to that gig, he was told how lousy his speakers sounded.  Oops.  He bought a pair of HIP’s and uses them, to this day, doing weddings.

Hi Bill,

Mine are also labeled HIP, but they are not ported.  Are you sure yours were?

I am very sure.   ;D

Is there a slot at the bottom / front of your speaker?
