Biete diese 2 HECO PSM 1000 Lautsprecher in gutem gebrauchten Zustand.
Durch das Alter natürlich nicht mehr makelfrei aber liefern noch einen super Sound.
This is an early-1980s design, so timing matters mainly as a vintage buy: there’s no “replacement model” angle here, just whether these classic boxes are still healthy. At €99, it looks like a strong buy versus the typical used market, which seems to cluster around roughly €80 to €160 depending on condition; this sits comfortably on the low side of that range and is close enough to the bargain end to be attractive.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual vintage HECO appeal: big, musical presentation, solid build, and enough character to suit anyone who likes older German speakers with real scale. The upside is best if the drivers are all original, surrounds are intact, and the cabinets are cleaner than average. At this price, only walk if there’s a functional issue, missing drivers, or evidence of repair work done badly; otherwise it’s the kind of listing a hi-fi hobbyist can buy with confidence.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
HECO traces its roots to 1949, when Gerhard Richard Hennel and his wife Susanne founded Hennel & Co. KG in the German Taunus region town of Schmitten. Initially focused on manufacturing speaker chassis and baskets for cinemas and restaurants, the family business quickly pivoted to high-quality home audio, producing its first series-production speaker chassis in 1950 and the legendary compact B130 model by 1964. This heritage of German engineering precision has defined HECO for over seven decades, evolving through innovations like the 1951 Orchester Type C16 and early multichannel speaker sets.
The brand specializes in premium loudspeakers, with iconic series such as Superior (1987), Concerto Grosso, and Celan (launched 2005 and continually refined) anchoring its reputation. HECO has occasionally ventured into car audio with lines like Sprint and Turbo amplifiers in the 1990s, but its core strength remains floorstanding, bookshelf, and compact home speakers renowned for balanced, dynamic sound. Ambitious designs prioritize music reproduction in domestic settings, blending tradition with modern materials.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end contender, HECO commands respect among discerning hi-fi enthusiasts for exceptional price-to-performance ratios, numerous test victories, and enduring series that rival pricier rivals. No longer a small family operation but part of Audio-Produkte GmbH, it sustains innovative momentum, delivering "true sound" that appeals to knowledgeable buyers seeking reliable German quality without ultra-boutique excess.
