RE: Pricey?

Posted by RGA on February 20, 2017 at 04:36:51:

Hi Dave - the RA is over $25,000.

These speakers would be a great comparison to the Audio Note E/LX which I just sold in December and retailed for $5800. Though it is probably more comparable to the AN E/D with paper woofer that lists for just $3,985 US.

I would absolutely love to see someone pit this Heco up against the E/D.


Personally - I REALLY want to here these speakers because I really love affordable easy to drive speakers and this Heco Direkt was reviewed off of an Audio Note OTO (one of the best and affordable SE amplifiers on the market for the last 25+ years).

I would like to see a lot more of these wide baffle higher sensitive speakers out there at affordable price points than slim line towers with a bunch of woofers covering the same frequency with some ringy dingy metal tweeter pinging things at me.

AN E/D gives you the old school wooden box look and these HECOs have a modern look but similar Snell approach. I hope I can find a pair to try out down the line. Editor's choice in Hi-Fi Choice isn't too bad and Hi-fi Critic gave them a best buy. I'm okay with the racing stripe too.
