Heco Victa Sub 25A Subwoofer

Sub 25A is the youngest model of the Victa series and capable, according to the manufacturer, to work adequately in both large home theater systems and highly advanced music systems. It was built according to the classical scheme for this company with two rear bass-reflex ports. Upon further acquaintance, you can find other proprietary solutions. First of all, it is a solid (250 mm) low-frequency driver with a reinforced cellulose diffuser and a solid magnetic system, an unusual body shape with rounded side walls and, finally, an integrated amplifier with a peak power of 200 watts. On the rear panel there are the cut-off frequency control (50-150 Hz) and the volume level. It is strange that the manufacturer has not foreseen a phase change - a very useful thing when setting up the system.

Without exaggeration, Heco's sound handwriting is incredibly effective and attracts to itself from the very first minutes of listening. Work in theatrical role comes to the sub extraordinarily easy, and this also does not surprise at all. The sound of the German bass machine differs in a strikingly wide dynamic and frequency range for this price category. Sometimes it seems that there are no tests that would be beyond its power. Both global low-frequency effects and subtle background sounds are amazingly natural and clean. Having an outstanding bass potential, Heco Victa Sub 25A demonstrates skillful handling with timbres, without leveling a variety of test material at all. Compression of the signal is almost not felt. Even when working at maximum volume, the sound is almost not coarsened, staying legible and clear.

Testing with musical material only strengthened the view of Heco Victa Sub 25A talent. Of course, the musical potential here is not as great as that of top models, but it is able to provide comfort when listening to most genres. This subwoofer is somewhat less than ideal because of the insufficient resolution of the lower bass and sometimes manifested simplification of the rhythmic structure of percussion instruments. But for this price category, the result is quite natural, so this model has no serious flaws.
