I recorded this video 1 year ago. In the meantime I bought an Advance Acoustic X-A160 / X-preamp which will probably remain my main amplifier. Yesterday I picked up the Advance Acoustic from Ivar (on youtube: The audiophile Barista) who had the set to borrow for 5 weeks to test it extensively. According to Ivar, this AA set is extremely suitable for me given the performance/price and the sound. According to him I have to keep it because in this price range I can't find a better sound in combination with the very good preamp and built in DAC. I still have to test it myself( let it play in my house for some time but not really tested it yet). Because I did not had access to the AA set for 5 weeks, I tested some Chinese products for 5 weeks. For 5 weeks the Soundartist SA-200IA was playing here, which with 2x150W / 8Ohm ore 2x200W/4ohm has just as much power as the Advance Acoustic X-A160, but with a ridiculously low price of 270 $. In these 5 weeks I also tested the Soundartist LS3 / 5A monitors that have a price of 600 $ incl. Shipping and I tested the Soundartist monitors S5B with a price of 200 $ (unknown if that includes shipping). I will be releasing the test videos of these 3 products over the next 3 weeks, starting with the Soundartist LS3 / 5A. Here the links of the coming tests: www.china-hifi-audio.com/en/s... www.china-hifi-audio.com/en/s... www.china-hifi-audio.com/en/s...
Hi. I have a pair of speakers with te woofers on the side to, if i place them with the woofers to the inside the sound is awful , the side woofers should be pointed to the outside otherwise the sound is not ok. Please try with to swap the speakers and try again. Keep up the good work!
Hello Andrej.good video. What do you think abaot fonum 701/701dc,gle490 and ergo92dc? Are you listen anything of that? Whats your pic of this list? Thanks
Have you ever tested the canton ergo rc-a? I think it's the best ergo speaker. The integrated amp for bass drivers are quite good and they have better mid drivers.
@@vintagestereo these speakers need a lot of power. The more power in the more you get out of them. That is what they say. Thanks for your advice. Love your channel!
I don't know where you live, in Europe there is plenty Heco but America and some other parts there is no heco. Just read ther specs of the speakers you are intersted in. When frequency response say 20hz to 20khz mean you have very deep bass because 20 hz is very low, When it is 45hz to 20khz(20.000hz) it doesn't go low but everythng under 30hz is ok. the second number(20.000hz is for the tweeters but al modern tweeters reach now minimal 20.000hz. it doesnt matter if it's 20khz ore 30khz because oure ears can'tt hear over 20.000 hz
@@vintagestereo Ok anyway what do you advise me to better heco speakers for classic rock music that has old electric guitars with quiet smooth sound ? Examples : Direkt or dreiklang or the statement model ? Or recommend other trademark that there is in america like Dynaudio
There is a hugh difference in sound between these two. The Cantons are much opener and brighter in comparison with the Hecos. The Hecos sound stage is to small, but then it is all about taste of the ears and the looks. By the way, did you get the speaker cables which "The Audiophile Barista" was going to manufacture for you? I was wondering if these new speaker cables has had a positive impact on the sound with your equipment?
The speaker cables are not finished yet because I asked him to wait..I don't want them with the normal plastic cable splitters and ordered by aliexpress metal cable splitters: nl.aliexpress.com/item/32811924145.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.2f2c3c00deTWeq&mp=1 I think this cable will give a big improvement, only 0,41 ohm resistance ...The only problem was that the cable is 13mm thick and there are many 12mm and 14 ore 16mm but this metal splitter was the only 13mm splitter there was on aliexpress. The cheaper speaker cables(10mm) I going to make myself will be with the plastic cable splitters.
to much bass on Heco.... excesive bass... poor medium and hights... Canton have a genuine wood case... did you ever seen a Stradivarius made with synthetic wood like?.. Cantons are opener and brighter and dynamic... great for every music...
Zend eens een mail naar marsdes@gmail.com zodat niet iedereen jou mailadres weet. Zend ik jou een geluidsfragment van 2 oude Canton LE 109 met 2 advance monoblokken. Gewoon opgenomen met de telefoon en niet met zo n speciale microfoon als jij hebt.

Nice :), so as of today Advance Acoustic X-A160 / X-preamp is the best companion for your Cantons? Or you have a better combination?
Cantons are more open sounding , much better in the highs

Second hand speakers to try in good prices: AudioPhysic Yara 5,AudioPhysic Tempo2, AudioPhysic Virgo2, Audio Phycic Classic 10, Heco Aleva GT602, Jamo 97 II, Avance Dana503, Avance Omega 503/509, yamaha NS777/555, Jbl Studio 580/590, Focal Chorus 716/714
I try to score real vintage speakers like trechnics sb-7000 kenwood kl-777 but these speakers doubled in price in a few year. Very hard to score them
Oh Andrew, how I love the sound of those Cantons, never any for sale in the UK unfortunately.😢
potver dat is een machtig mooie sansui :O
Canton still best
Have you ever tested the canton ergo rc-a? I think it's the best ergo speaker. The integrated amp for bass drivers are quite good and they have better mid drivers.
Not yet, hope to score them once
I have Dali 505 speakers. What amplifier can you recommend? I have no idea. Thanks.
a second hand sansui
@@vintagestereo Thanx! Looked it up on the Internet. Reviewers always come up with NAD. Why is that?
@@wielentschoten575 Nad is also good but it's a more neutral sound

Can you recommend me the better Heco speakers for classic rock 60's and 70's like the shadows and the spotnicks please ?
