At €190, this is on the reasonable-to-good side for a vintage Heco 3-way, especially if the pair is genuinely excellent and fully original. The model was an upper-tier Heco bookshelf from the 1970s era, with an original price around 308 DM per speaker, so a clean surviving pair at this level is not out of line.
What makes it worth a look is the classic German-vintage appeal: closed-box simplicity, solid driver complement, and a compact format that can still sound lively and coherent with the right amp. If the surrounds, crossover, and cabinet corners are all clean, this is the kind of listing that can be a satisfying buy rather than a project.

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.
