Heybrook is tugging hard at the nostalgic heartstrings of British hi-fi enthusiasts by announcing that it is not only returning to the loudspeaker business but also making its first comeback product a modern reimagining of its most iconic model from the 80s.
The all-new HB1 Evolution are indeed built on the foundations of the iconic HB1, which were the first speakers (product, even) to win three What Hi-Fi? Awards in a row – in 1983, 1984 and 1985. The entry-level bookshelf speakers were designed by the company's co-founder Peter Comeau (designer of other loudspeaker icons such as the Wharfedale Diamonds and Mission 780) and feature, no less, in both our list of the best British speakers of all time and the best speakers of What Hi-Fi?'s lifetime.
