The German company HECO celebrated its anniversary by releasing a new version of the acoustics — HECO Direkt Premium 75th Anniversary Edition. The loudspeakers are decorated in a retro design and take us back to the atmosphere of the 1970s.
HECO Direkt Premium 75th Anniversary Edition is a two-way acoustics that uses a midrange/low-frequency driver with an 11” paper diffuser and a proprietary HECO Fluktus tweeter with a 28-mm silk composite dome. The tweeter is equipped with a powerful dual magnet system and is enclosed in a Fluktus Wave Control horn with special geometry. Only audiophile components were used for the crossover components and internal wiring.
The HECO Direkt Premium 75th Anniversary Edition features a two-tone front panel combining natural walnut veneer with a black or white satin finish. The loudspeakers rests on a base with three metal feet and is tilted back six degrees for optimal sound distribution in the room. Magnetic grilles are the icing on the cake.
The HECO Direkt Premium 75th Anniversary Edition is now available for purchase at a recommended retail price of €1,499 per one speaker.

Last year, Goldmund launched the impressive Goldmund Rhea and Theia acoustics in active versions with a wireless streamer. The all-in-one solution certainly looked brilliant, but High-End fans often prefer component systems. So now the company has introduced the Goldmund Rhea and Theia loudspeakers in a Passive version.
Stratton Acoustics has introduced two models of compact bookshelf loudspeakers – Element 6 and Element 8. Both speakers use the company’s patented soft dome tweeters with a diameter of 29 mm, equipped with a waveguide to provide wide sound dispersion.
