HB 1
The HB1 is a compact, 2-way,
ported design featuring a 130mm Kevlar bass / mid driver and a 25mm
Aluminium Dome Tweeter. It has a substantial cabinet with an integral driver support
brace providing mechanical grounding for the bass unit. The front baffle
is a laminated MDF sandwich 34mm thick, which contributes to the
exceptional strength of the cabinet and provides a solid platform for both
drive units.
Gold plated, bi-wireable input terminals and a hard wired crossover
network featuring simple first order filters also contribute to its
unforced reproduction of timbre, vocals and superb stereo imaging.
It is recommended for use on heavy 500mm stands and will work well when
placed 150mm or more from a rear wall.
Immensely solid and well finished... their sound has composure and
maturity rarely found at twice the price... these Heybrooks really are
superb speakers... A new star is born.

These new HB1's were for us a revelation. In fact, for a more than
reasonable price, one can attain the reproduction of a musical event with
natural transparency, without any nasal quality to the midrange or hardness
in the treble. Everything happens with a certain refinement, an elegance
of timbre which is rare to find in a speaker at this price. They give real
listening pleasure. A winner!
