  • "Over 60 years of experience in loudspeaker construction can be shown by the German company HECO. Experience that is impressively reflected in the top model of the Metas Series XT 701. The 108 cm bass reflex loudspeakers are made of stable MDF wood and are braced several times. The die-cast aluminium drivers stand out from the high-gloss lacquered baffle in an elegant and solid way. All drivers and diaphragms are proprietary developments of the Cologne audio forge and the result of years of development processes and state-of-the-art measurement technology. ..."
