First introduced in 1957, the Heresy® was arguably the first-ever center channel loudspeaker, used with the Klipschorn in
three-speaker stereo arrays. Legend has it that an acquaintance told Paul this design was in direct violation of PWK’s own fully
horn loaded principles and amounted to acoustic heresy. Never one to miss irony, Paul decided Heresy was the perfect name.
Today’s Heresy III is a compact, three-way design that uses horn-loaded compression drivers for midrange and treble
reproduction and a direct radiating 12-inch woofer for the low frequencies.
They told him it was Heresy,
so that’s what he named it.
