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.
@@jackdanyal4329 Except it does mean that the Heco's are very bass prominent compared to other book shelves in this class, on a relative basis. All of the factors you state absolutely effect the sound, but not to the extent that one can't point to a speaker and say "that's very bass prominent". And FYI, I listed to them in three separate rooms on three separate amps, all three being very different listening environments. You also forgot, "whose ears", tastes vary wildly! If I told you all the room/amp factors would it matter, you still can't hear them yourself? None of the speakers in this class (economical bookshelves) are very good, none of the ones in my audition list were anyway, but some are better than others, and some are just really poorly done. My point is the Heco's are very bass heavy, take all your factors (room, amp, music, ears, etc.), but in the end the Heco's are overdone in the bass and too lacking in the mid for most people to consider them a well balanced or neutral sounding speaker. I'm not saying that nobody would like them, I'm sure there are bass freaks out there that will love them, but studies have shown that most people prefer neutral leaning sound, and in this class of speaker there are others that do a better job of achieving that than the Heco's. Like I said, I wanted to like them, and they are pleasant and smooth, but when auditioned back to back with comparable competition, the bass-heavy nature sticks out as a fault.
thank you so much for your comment. i also have the 225's and was looking into HECO speakers. I think the real upgrade would be Heco Celan Revolution 3 for us.
Any other speakers you would recommend in this price point? (In Europe the Heco are 480 euros). I currently have Dali Spektors 2 that I've had for quite a while now and I think they're a bit too bright with not much bass extension. I mostly listen to Pop, hip-hop, rap.
Debut Reference 6.2? Oh, definitely. You are going to lose a bit of bass, and the Elac are much, much harder to drive. Basically, you are going from one end of the spectrum (can be driven with a 25-watt amp) to the other end of the spectrum (up to 120 watt into 6 ohm). But the sound ...
@@Dampfaeus I have both DR 6.2(for TV) and Aurora 300(for home office). For me Aurora's are much better. Compared them connected to the system in my home office. so, same room, same source (Burson Play as DAC and Yamaha A-S501 as amp)
@@nobicubalibre2143 outside of my price range here in switzerland... double the price of a pair of oberon 3 which is the more expensive of the 2. Like the sound of the oberon a tiny bit more I think, a bit more neutral to my hear than the heco
@@joachimjenni well what really counts is what your ears like what you enjoy more,, Dali make great sounding speakers so if you like them and the price is good go with Dali you will enjoy them
Heco can cost as low as 300usd in Europe. Dali Oberon is king of staging, but "3" should be some 130-160USD more, competing with Polk Reference or Monitor audio bronze 100. Heco 300 is priced more like Polk Signature or Qacoustics 3030i.
well 300 euro is not alot but i would look on the used market for a integrated amp or a stand alone amp.. you can get more for your money on the used market. but if i had a choice i would go with emotiva or a denon
Great sound. Very clear, but without sharpness. Thanks for the sound demo!

I agree with the assesment of the aurora. I had the 300s
sorry, but your experience says nothing. we don't know where you demoed them, which amp, what kind of music, the position of the speakers, etc.

For what its worth i sold them. Bass is indeed over emphisized and ive learned my lesson to never believe the internet but my own ears

Your audio sounds great.

I wonder how these would compare to the similarly priced and also warm sounding Wharfdale Denton 80's ?
never heard the wharfdales but heard great things about them
Good job.
They sound great, but would also have liked the hear the KLH's in comparison.
oh i can tell you that there is no comparison the KLH are a much better sounding speaker
Impressive for the price 😎
yes they are
@@nobicubalibre2143 how do they sound with female vocals,I'm trying decide between the heco 300 and the triangle borea3
Loved it, but can you please tell me your setup, like it is directly AVR or Amps?
for music listening i am using a parasound pre 200 and a parasiund 2125 v2 amp with a eversolo dmp a6 dac streamer

are the aurora 300 better than the css audio torii?
well thats hard to say not that one sounds better than the other but the have diffrent sound signatures

@@Ann0Savciuc oh yes you can go wrong with yamaha and remember as long as you like the waay its sounds that is all that counts enjoy your sounds!!
What is the difference in sound for the Dynaudio Evoke 20?
The evoke are a lot more detailed in the sound and better bass
Very happy to have seen your video love the sound it’s good to see my Latino people getting in to good sounds que viva la musica 🇵🇷
