Te koop een paar krachtige luidsprekers van heco. Fenobinabel goede sound. Zuiver en krachtig, en transparante set. Op een krachtige versterker komen deze het beste uit de verf. Zelf had ik er een mar
This is a fair ask to slightly ambitious, depending on condition and whether it’s a matched pair. A clean used HECO Mythos 700 at €275 sits above the low-end bargain territory, but not absurdly so for a sizeable German-made floorstander with decent reputation; if they’re original, complete, and cosmetically strong, it’s a reasonable buy rather than a steal.
What makes them worth considering is the lively, full-range presentation the Mythos line is known for: solid bass weight for the size, smooth mids, and an easy listen that works well for music and TV. The main thing to check is driver originality and crossover health, especially on older HECOs where mismatched replacements or tired capacitors can change the sound. If they’re all original and functioning properly, this is a solid enthusiast-level pickup.
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.
