This was really an audiophile review. Youthman used all the key words that bring smiles to HIFI enthusiasts faces and ears. This was a very comprehensive speaker review. The highs never sound strained without being too bright. Love that description.
@@Youthman you don't give yourself enough credit. You definitely used some audiophile terms while still being authentic. You can tell you invested a tremendous amount of time in listening and in then finding descriptive words that conveyed what you heard. This review will let people know what to expect. Especially like how you discussed the center imaging as being a miss for you in your room. Some people also want an oversized soundstage for home theater. It isn't always as accurate to what is happening on screen when the soundstage is larger but many people don't mind the tradeoff of accuracy for more a grand scale especially with musical scores
I have a set of the 700s and I am impressed with them. They work well for the smaller room I have and offer a big bang for their buck. I have been able to crank them up without any type of sound quality loss. You can certainly get a better sounding speaker, but these provide a good balance of price and quality!
I have the Aurora 700s with a Musical Fidelity MSI integrated amp and Love them in my 13x19 room . They are pulled out about 2.5 ft from the back wall and I get a great sound stage, great center and extends well beyond the speakers depending on the recording.
I took a shot at the 300’s for my bedroom. I immediately noticed the build quality and that tells the story for the entirety of these quality speakers. In their price range and beyond these are very satisfying speakers for every genre I enjoy and there are several. These aren’t just the next affordable but disappointing shelf speakers as there are many.
Heco is awsome, I have the 30 year old 850, and these are still great. If you buy them, you can keep them for centuries. They are currently driven by a Sonos AMP, the third amp since I bought them. Only downside, you will not be able to replace them with anything cheaper.
I got the 5.1 speaker package, hooked up to an RZ50 and I'm really happy. The Heco a30 sub is okay, and will probably be upgraded. But the whole package is great out of the box for a HT starter.
Thanks for reviewing this Michael. This is one I have been waiting for since your first video on the Heco's. It is a shame that you did not get the 30 center and a couple of 300 rear speakers from Audio Advice to test them with some movies in a home theater environment. These might very well be what will be going into my living room/home theater in the coming year.
@@rickadams9Hey, no I settled (temporarily) for the Elac Debut 2.0 series which I am very happy with. These have served me very well in a 5.1.4 configuration until I have enough money to move to some Martin Logans XT or Mofi Sourcepoint 888. I would recommend you also look at the new Elac Debut 3 series that recently got released if you are shopping around for something like the Hecos. They have been getting really good reviews. All the best 🤝
I think the best price to performance ratio offers the Celan Revolution series. The top of the line Heco Celan Revolution 9 is a big speaker that performs great for only 3.6k EUR in Germany.
Truthfully, I can’t relate to most two channel shows because they often play music that I would never listen to myself. I love music that has a solid beat and gets my head bouncing. I grew up listening to hip hop and rap in the 90’s. I’ve enjoyed pop, rock, even dubstep when it was popular.
In Germany, 90‘s, Heco sold his products in local diy markets and they were very very cheap and mocked. I think this is the biggest problem with this speakers here in germany - the image from Heco. But the speakers are great now !
Hi, I'm using Canton Towers in my 2-ch rig. How is Canton thought off in Germany if you don't mind me asking. They are not well known here in the states.
What 🤔they had the Heco 750, 850 and 950 in the early 90s which were Not kits and cost £750 for the 750s so about £1,500 today and were highly regarded
@@edwarddiogu6377 For Klipsch rf7 you should probably put Heco Revolution 9. There is a video on TH-cam revolution9 vs Klipsch rf7mk3. I sold it myself. I replaced the Klipsch rp260f rp450c rp402s with the Heco Revolution7 rev4 center rev3 surr. The Heco needs more power than the Klipsch to make them sound great. I will write this in Stereo. The Heco wins, but in the cinema the Klipsch is probably the best.
I am glad you used the Monolith amp so to give the speakers enough power they need to perform. This is a fair test vs using an anemic AVR and then blaming the speakers of not performing well. :)
Those speakers look absolutely gorgeous and would love to hear them. In some photos and videos however, it's hard to tell if the side panels are white wood vinyl or are light oak vinyl. I think these would benefit tremendously from biamping over using a av receiver as all speakers with dual binding posts would.
Like @NeilParasons I have a wide-centered soundstage with depth from the Heco 1000"s, I have them pulled out 36 inches from the rear wall and 6 feet apart with Parasound electronics as well as the Onkyo Z50 with 300 watt Emotive amp. I love the sound what a bang for the buck smooth and musical they will be used in my 11.2 set up as I currently have a set of RBH which are a little brite for Home Theater.
I just bought the 700 s wich are pretty similar to the 1000s except for the 8 inch woofers. How big is your room and how far is your listening position??. Is 36 inch separation frpm the backwall to the back of the speaker or from the back pf the speaker to the wall?? Thbaks for the info
Hi youthman, I have Magnat (sister company of Heco) Signature 1109. It is really good speaker. I wish you review Magnat Signature 909 speakers in near future. As it has best measurements graphs.
I would like to see reviews that cover internal components. Justification of these prices should be backed with high quality networks for these speaker costs to the consumer.
You are welcome to reach out to see if they’ll send you some so that you can make some videos showing internal components of gear. That would be a specific niche review
@@Youthman GR research does those videos already I was thinking of that topic as an added speaking point to clarify what high end companies are building into these very exspensive speakers.
Idk but maybe you had a defective pair because mine image perfectly even sometimes with certain songs like Tool's "Chocolate Chip Trip" the drums go well beyond the left and right all the way to my left and right sides at 12 ft. away and the center image is great.
No. I have never heard a difference when biamping. I’m of the opinion the only way that really works is if you bypass the internal crossover and use an active network.
i currently have RP280f and itching to upgrade to a 3 way with a mid range for a more fuller detail sound. But will the mid range 3 way speaker make all the difference than the 2.5 way rp280f?

Hey Techie, Did you get the Heco's. If so, how's it working for you ? Something else maybe.

Unfortunately it takes time to repair a damaged brand image. Seems like they are making significant strides to repair it.

@@dentman67 canton has an good reputation here, only in my opinion is the bad resale value (I don't know why myself)

Greetings I Have The 1000 Tower's 300 Book,s 30A Sub And Center What ( AVR ) Do You Recommend To Drive Them With ? Let Me Know Ok Thank You
Very direct and strong review. I'd like to ask: how does the HECO compare with the Klipsch 8000f, and the klipsch 7lll?
Thanks.
I have the RP8060FA II in for review. These do not remotely compare to the RF7 III.

To be fair, most mid-tier AVR’s wouldn’t have any difficulty powering these in 2ch.
@@Youthman That's great 👍

I think these would benefit tremendously from biamping over using a av receiver as all speakers with dual binding posts would.
Has anyone here compared the Heco 1000 to the Polk reference r700 series?
I think Audio Advice did a comparison with the Polk R700s.
It's great to see that you are at 103K subscribers.
Thank you Michael
I really had placement issues with the heco 700s too. I returned them
I had no issues with placement with mine. They centered and sound stage excellent in my experience.
Interesting that some have good imaging and others do not. David, it’s good that you were able to get them to image well.
great review they sound great with music but how did they play with movies? can they be used for dual duty?
Like @NeilParasons I have a wide-centered soundstage with depth from the Heco 1000"s, I have them pulled out 36 inches from the rear wall and 6 feet apart with Parasound electronics as well as the Onkyo Z50 with 300 watt Emotive amp.

I wanted those, could only get the 700s when I was looking to buy.
Hi Michael, can you review monitor audio maby?nice review!
It’s definitely a possibility sometime down the road. I currently do not have a contact with them
+1 for monitor audio
Hello how you doing can you make a review of the klipsch 820f floor stand speakers 🙏
In Australia the heco aurora 700 as a pair is 2.5k let alone the 1000's 😢
I'm seeing your vedios from India because I like your vedios and contents
Really good quality and great work
Thank you for the kind words
Very well reviewed speaker brand

@@Youthman GR research does those videos already I was thinking of that topic as an added speaking point to clarify what high end companies are building into these very exspensive speakers.
There you go. Looks like Danny has it covered
Canton GLE 90 is the best :D
Idk but maybe you had a defective pair because mine image perfectly even sometimes with certain songs like Tool's "Chocolate Chip Trip" the drums go well beyond the left and right all the way to my left and right sides at 12 ft. away and the center image is great.
There was nothing about them that would lead me to believe it was something defective.
Did you try a bi-amp config with them
No. I have never heard a difference when biamping. I’m of the opinion the only way that really works is if you bypass the internal crossover and use an active network.
Nice video review
This or the Klipsch RP-8000F II?
Depends on what your ears prefer. I personally prefer the sound of Klipsch for their detail, clarity and dynamics.
i currently have RP280f and itching to upgrade to a 3 way with a mid range for a more fuller detail sound. But will the mid range 3 way speaker make all the difference than the 2.5 way rp280f?
@joeydelmarsjr.646 I would check out the MartinLogan F200 from their Motion XT series. I’m REALLY enjoying them.
@@Youthman sweet thank you Youthman for your recommendation
These r Nice.....AWEsome!!!
Never heard of them......
Youthman I hope you will be casting your vote for Ron Desantis in this midterm election! He has been wonderful for your state!
He won by a large margin! Awesome.
