Overview
The AURORA XT 700 floorstanding speaker by Heco is an excellent choice for audiophiles seeking powerful and detailed sound in an elegant design. This model combines Heco’s advanced acoustic technologies with meticulous craftsmanship to deliver an immersive listening experience.
Cutting-Edge Acoustic Design
The AURORA XT 700 is a 3-way bass-reflex speaker that incorporates Heco’s latest innovations in sound reproduction. Its architecture features a 28 mm Fluktus tweeter with a silk dome, a 170 mm midrange driver, and two 170 mm woofers.
The Fluktus tweeter is a Heco exclusive, distinguished by its computer-optimized wave-shaped acoustic flange. This unique design ensures perfect high-frequency dispersion and precise sound imaging. The silk dome provides smooth and airy treble reproduction.
For midrange and bass, Heco has chosen kraft paper cones, a lightweight yet rigid material that ensures a fast and natural response. The two 170 mm woofers deliver deep and impactful bass, while the dedicated midrange driver ensures clear and detailed reproduction of voices and instruments.
Dynamic and Balanced Sound
Thanks to its meticulous design, the AURORA XT 700 delivers outstanding sound performance. Its high sensitivity of 92 dB allows for powerful sound even with moderately powered amplifiers. The nominal impedance of 4-8 Ω also makes it an easy load for most amplifiers.
The frequency response ranges from 25 Hz to 42,500 Hz, covering the entire audible spectrum and beyond. The bass is deep and well-defined, the midrange natural, and the treble airy. The sound is both dynamic and balanced, faithfully reproducing all types of music.
The soundstage created by these speakers is wide and deep, with excellent stereo imaging. Instruments are well-positioned in space, and vocals stand out with clarity and presence. Whether for music listening or a home theater system, the AURORA XT 700 offers an immersive and realistic experience.
Practical Features
Heco has equipped the AURORA XT 700 with several practical features to optimize its use. The gold-plated terminals on the back allow for bi-wiring or bi-amping, catering to audiophiles looking to push performance even further.
The base includes sturdy crossbars with height-adjustable solid aluminum spikes. This ensures perfect speaker stability and isolates it from floor vibrations. Rubber inserts are also provided for use on hard floors.
The front protective grille is removable and attaches via invisible magnets. This allows you to enjoy the speaker’s sleek design while protecting the drivers if needed.
Remarkable Versatility
Whether for music listening or as part of a home theater system, the AURORA XT 700 demonstrates great versatility. Its dynamics and precision make it an ideal speaker for all musical styles, from classical to rock, jazz, or electronic music.
In a home theater setup, it excels as a main front speaker. Its ability to reproduce deep bass even allows for the omission of a subwoofer in certain configurations. The AURORA XT 700 pairs perfectly with other models in the Aurora range to create a cohesive multi-channel system.
