Bookshelf speakers Heco Xenon 200
Xenon 200 - a recent addition to the firm "inert" series speakers from Germany Heco. In system design, no pretentiousness - everything is simple and at the same time soundly. Housing without unnecessary adornments, but hard enough. Tweeter with textile dome and woofer with a polymer membrane are identical externally applied to the top models. Power, of course, is more modest. Yet at the scale of the test system to get a solid class in all respects. Reasonable that the developers did not invest in excess of separate connection like strips of magnetic shielding - better yet pfennig spend here on things more directly affecting the sound quality...
Amazing how different can sound systems at high frequencies with similar objective data. And it is very difficult sometimes to prefer one version or another. It would seem that in the case of Heco Xenon 200 has all the prerequisites for piping bright, lush, flowery sound. But high in the German couple - if a clear pencil drawing. Its sound in general analytically somewhat dry, with the exact dosage of timbre. However, the rumor says an emphasis on extremely high frequencies, giving the characteristic selection sizzling "tails" consonants background entourage. But I must say that in this case, these effects are not burdensome and even slightly enliven the picture. And objectively and subjectively good Averages: smooth and clear, with decent power potential. Mature upper bass confidently asserts itself when the sound track is oversaturated rock'n'roll bottoms; very clear during this section of the shock. When the energy is more or less evenly distributed over the low frequency band (live classical music), the sound is cool, as would appear unreasonable. Note that to achieve the best balance is optimal mode comfortable volume. When the amplitude of more attention pulls over the top middle, bass like retreats into the shadows, the sound becomes metallic hues become noticeable limit the dynamic range. It is gratifying that "two hundredth xenon" shoulder competent organization of the image space: the scene is well established in depth (there is a sense of distance), normally detailed; its geometry naturally clearly responding to the changes of the amplitudes.
Heco Xenon 200 at medium volume provides quite a comfortable sound atmosphere. In music applications is good for fans of modern styles of rock. Presumably, a pair of get a good theatrical front, and probably great surround speakers.
