Lecson HL1

dnsey · 19th November 2005, 05:55 PM

Has anyone had experience of these speakers?
I may have an opportunity to buy a number of them cheaply. The general design appeals, but I've never heard them, and won't have an opportunity before making an offer.
Any comments?

Without doubt the HL1 is the worst speaker I've ever owned, garbage drive units looks so cool too! I'd seriously advise you to pass, I bought a pair after David Prakel in Hi-Fi Answers passed favourable comment on them, he could not have heard them.

Thanks for the useful reply.
Pity, I was hoping they'd sound rather like the Impulse horns

I wouldn't go as far as Calvert, but they are fairly average. As with all these things though, it depends on how much they want for them!

Well, I was doing some A/V work in a church hall the other day, and there was a scruffy Lecson being used as a table. I remarked on it to the caretaker, who said that they had several of them knocking around doing nothing!

She also said that they had lifeted the lid off one of them and found a packet of biscuits inside
