I received my pair of HRv2 on February 1. A little too early for a full review, however I will share some initial thoughts after 38 hours of play.

Packaging is superb. The outer boxes had dents, cuts, and water damage and none of this made it through to the inner box or multiple layers of foam board.

Finish is also superb. I went with the Cherry finish, and while lighter than I would prefer, it is well done. Ziggy even took the time to book-match the front of each speaker down to the knots on each being perfectly mirrored.

I have placed these in my primary listening room connected to a Torii MKV, replacing a pair of 1981 Klipsch Heresy’s. BASS, I did not even know I have been missing bass. The HR’s deliver more bass than their appearance would indicate, and it is extremely articulate/tight. The sound of an upright bass has never sounded this good.

The overall cohesion of the music is just as appealing. The crossover seems perfectly dialed in as no one part of the music stands out from the next. Everything is just seamless. I am having a lot of fun playing music and just getting lost in some new detail making itself known. Looking forward to how the sound changes over the next few months.

Congrats Lon! These speakers (I have two pair of the original HR-1) will continue to sound better and your enjoyment will deepen.

The room is 14’ x 16’ with 360 degrees of glass. Everywhere you see curtain is floor to ceiling glass. The ceiling is cathedral, going from 7.5 to 11.5 at peak with a skylight on both sides.

Floor is tile, with radiant heat so carpet is not possible. All of this would say harsh environment. Anything but. The curtains which go completely around the room bring the sound from 34 decibels down to 26 when closed. It is a remarkable difference.

I could not be happier right now.

Beautiful!

Very nice! Speakers as well as room!!!

Drop dead gorgeous— congrats Lon!
