It's actually a fun change of pace to swap them out. But it requires a generous adjustment period for the ear as they're total opposites in presentation.

Funny you mention the "adjustment period" - AudioDwebe 19:47:30 06/30/20 (1)
because whenever I've swapped speakers in the past, I'd adjust to the sound pretty quickly. A few hours at most.

My recent change, going from an Acoustic Technologies Classic to a Totem Model One Signatures took a few days to adjust, which I found totally weird. The Totems sounded so bright for a while.

I've since returned to the ATs. But adjusting to the change back was pretty quick, although I had a pair of Dunlavy SC-I's just before the ATs.

  In regard to swapping out speakers and adjustment periods. Sometimes I have to reach into my "basket of cables" to get the synergy I'm looking for. Example would be when I swap to the Zu Omen DW's, I'll use Zu Mission IC's and SC's. Needless to say, having 4 amps and 4 pairs of speakers, I've pretty much had to sort out "best fits" in this regard as well.

Both are iconic and have a rich history, but the approaches they take are totally different.

I have a pair of Heresy II speakers, though they are more or less in storage for now, and have owned KLF 20s. As I posted above, I am considering going the Ohm Walsh route next.

  My only further bits of advice would be to buy new taking advantage of the 120 day audition period offered. Better than spending almost as much on a refurb project only to not like the end result. Use his simple room volume formula to choose the model that's the best fit. And finally, give them enough power with ample headroom to fill that volume.
