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.

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.
