    Man, I miss my component system. A full Phase Linear rack with Pioneer HPM 100s and HPM 60s. I lost a significant amount of my hearing due to chemo therapy, so when one of my clients offered me an obscene amount of money for it, I sold it. I'm headphones only now and a lot of the highs I missed on speakers returned under headphones, but I sure miss my speaker system.

    I have the Heco Aurora 1000s for my 2-channel music system. Awesome, highly praised in limited reviews online, and a tremendous value for their specs compared to other large floorstanders. They’re also not as deep as some so easier to implement in some setups. I’d buy Heco any any any day. 🎉

    I tend to like soft dome tweeters that have a large surround, like these. They are similar to the Elac tweeter in the BS41 and DB5.2 - and on my MLTL-6 speakers. This tends to give them a lower Fs; which often means a clean and smooth response. Edit: in another part of the web page, they say the tweeter is 28mm, which is about 1 1/8". They quote the crossover as being 3.3kHz which is fairly high.

    I have those for almost a year now, serving as my computer / desk speakers. Paired with Aiyma D03 and WiiM Pro (followed by your recomendation), backed up by Presonus T8 sub . I couldn't be more happy with this setup. I was considering Elac Debut Reference B6 (also due too your recomandation of Elacs in general) but Elacs come with a higher price tag here in Europe compared to US market. With Heco is exactly the opposite. I paid $300 for the pair year ago in Poland. Now they go for $320, which is still a bargain.

  • @jaball77
    @jaball77 10 місяців тому +19

    I believe you that they sound great, but color me EXTREMELY skeptical about the 32Hz rating. The official info page doesn't list a +/- dB on that 32Hz number which is usually a red flag (Definitive Technology was notorious for this...). I'd love to see them actually measured!

    • @wendell7379
      @wendell7379 10 місяців тому +5

      Believe me.....German manufacturers have been doing this for decades...Canton, Heck, ELAC and more stating very unrealistic lower freq. end without founded measurements or ref. Maybe near wall response with the rear port...Bye,bye definition...Your perception is spot on....Maybe 32Hz with your ear next to the woofer unit.

    • @chrishernandez2490

      @34332 10 місяців тому +7

      Joe'n Tell reviewed the Heco line (and 300s) about a year ago and did some rough measurements.
      To sum it up, no, they don't hit 32hz (roll off around 60Hz if I remember correct).They are kind of V-shaped sounding. Sensitivity is also debatable.
      I think we can safely assume Heco is rather 'optimistic' about their specs...

    Great review and these look fantastic! Randy, I think it's time for another speaker shootout. We need a sub $300, sub $500, and sub $1000. I would LOVE to see these videos individually and THEN, another video doing a Randy's tier list as an overview of many of the speakers you've already reviewed where you rank the speakers in their respective price categories. THIS WOULD BE FANTASTIC and would bring so much needed perspective to your body of work as a whole. Also, recently, I've been accompanying a buddy of mine, trying to help him find an amazing set of bookshelf speakers to go with his Emotiva PT-1 and A2. We've listened to B & W 6 series, Klipsch RP series, Focal, Polk Reserve, Martin Logan, Revel, Wharfedale and KEF. So far his favorites are the R200 from Polk and and the Wharfedale Evo 4.1. But not enough to pull the trigger yet. And I gotta tell you, when I come home, fresh off of auditioning, and listen to my set up (Emotiva TA-100, WiiM Pro, Schiit Modi 3e DAC) with my Sony SSCS5's and Wharfedale D320, I personally am really happy with what I have. I also have a PT-1 and A2 waiting to be used, but the TA-100 is handling business well!. My buddy also has a set of the SSCS5's and loves them, frustrated that he hasn't found anything that to him is worth upgrading to. Are we crazy?

    Thanks Randy! You nailed it. I agree 100% with your review. I love the Heco’s . I run those on my bedroom system and all I can say is awesome for the money. I have the heco la diva in my main system, which are way more detailed and more straight forward. But there’s a difference of 9000,- bucks. Those Auroras are gorgeous speakers that kick as... It’s a speaker you can listen to for long time without your ears starting to bleed… a real bang for the buck!

    I’ve owned the tower version ( Aurora 1000) of these stand mounts for nearly a year and I can say Randy that you’re description is accurate to what I hear. These are speakers you can listen to all day without fatigue and with the towers I can actually run them without my subwoofer and be completely satisfied at one point I got up and had to check whether my sub was unplugged.

    This was a blast from the past. My very first proper hifi speakers, bought from a hifi shop with a little Denon amp, were Heco Interior Reflex standmounts. That was maybe 30 years ago.
    Good to know they are still making quality speakers now. Are they a German brand ? Thats what my memory tells me, anyway.

    • @callending
      @callending 10 місяців тому +1

      Yes, they’re a German brand, available in the US through Audio Advice. And…you wouldn’t know these are paper cones…the composite material feels more like poly than paper. Excellent craftsmanship and IMO the Aurora 1000s I have sound incredible.

    @sabresys45 10 місяців тому +2

    My two cents for everyone reading these reviews trying to decide on purchases....I auditioned the Aurora 200 back to back against Monitor Audio bronze 50's and Wharfedale Diamond 225's, and the Heco were very, very, laid back, very prominent bass (overly done), they lacked so much detail in the mid range that the vocals and instruments like saxophone sounded dark and almost muffled. I wanted to like them and maybe the bigger cabinets are a different story, but the 200's weren't even close to the Monitor Audios or Wharfedales. (and in case you're curious, the Monitor Audio were the most detailed and forward of the three, but it wasn't overdone or harsh, I think they were as close to neutral as you can get given the size of the cabinet, they were my top pick, the Wharefdale sounded very balanced as well, but were voiced a little bit laid back, not anything huge like the Heco, but definitely not as detailed or neutral as the Monitor Audio. YMMV.

    Hey Randy :) Congrats on getting over the 200k hump! Been watching for a while now looking to make my next speaker purchase. I'm looking at these Heco Aurora 300's and the ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 that I see you have reviewed a few times here. At this time they are similarly priced and have both received pretty good reviews. Was curious to hear your thoughts comparing the two otherwise I'll just need to bring them in and try them out. I know that it mostly will depend on my space which is a 16' x 11' bedroom I converted into an office/listening room when the pandemic hit. These are strictly for 2 channel listening (mostly vintage vinyl with a vintage table and either the Fosi Phono Box X2 or the iFi Zen). Since you don't know me, the short of it is that I am a music producer among other things and my ears still work :)~ What I'm really trying to do my best is to avoid a return if I can by gaining an edge between the two. Worst case I return one and pick up the other but I'm most certainly keeping my eyes peeled for deals with Black Friday and Cyber Monday on approach as well. Can't say enough thanks to you for being here! THANK YOU!!!

    Randy!
    Does the 90 dB sensitivity make these good for low volume listening?
    And how much distance from the wall can we get away with?
    Thinking of the Dayton HTA200 to go with it.

    Just snagged one of the last pair of Aurora 300's... in Black. I was searching for the white (less friction from the wife) however they are nowhere to be found. Key rep at Audio Advice shared that they are in negotiations with Heco and may not carry the line anyone. Not due to quality, but apparently due to the excessive inventory they'd be required to carry as an exclusive dealer.

    Hey Randy, i'm planning to put together my first audio system and was thinking of using the ELAC Debut Reference with an SMSL A300 and an SMSL SU1, maybe add a WIIM Mini. What do you think?

    i know Heco from the past; had always good bass(like Magnat, and Canton ;but not all of them),old German brand. But now i use Triangle Borea 3 on Aiyima D03(before that a restored Sansui AU-317;1978).
    I like this speakers a lot. Enough bass, but not to much. Before these speakers i used Dali Oberon 5, very very nice, but a little to much bass with a lot of tracks(Tidal & Spotify).
    But..i will keep the Dali's.
    I live in a small apartment(3x4 meters,but high ceiling) in the centre of Amsterdam, that's why.

  • @alexeym.1175
    @alexeym.1175 10 місяців тому +4

    I have already tested these speakers. You can listen everything with these but they are boring, there is no dynamic and you can very good use it for Musik production or use them like studio monitors. Yes they are very compareble to elac debut series, but elac debut series does sound great or exciting. In Europe you can afford them for round about 300 euros.

      Thank you CAM for giving the positioning setup for the speakers. Due to our house floorplan constraints, I've got some stand mount speakers setup on bookshelves right now. It may take moving into another home to be able to have them set up so they can really shine lol. With the hundreds of comments posted, it would be nearly impossible for any UA-cam maker to respond to all commenting questions, even the "good" makers 😎. (Normally I try to have my comments with questions to be aimed and answered from the other viewers commenting.) Thanks for all of your videos and for taking the time in answering my question .

    I'm glad I followed your recommendation here (and elsewhere). The Heco Aurora's are truly ouststanding bookshelf speakers. Better than the Q Acoustics 3030i I picked previously and used for a year. Why? Because, while both models are tuned towards a warmer profile, the Hecos's feel much more dynamic and "alive", for lack of a better word. I tried the Elac Debut 6.2's, which I know you like, before, but those, while superbly spacious in sound, felt lightweight and overly bright in comparison.
