[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2528256, member: 550915"] They became Kove at some point in the mid 90s. The Real stuff that is. Didn't mean to rain on your parade but that was my memory of the brand from the early 90s. I'm sure that they had some gems in the lineup. Most of the companies that were little more than a flash in the pan in the late 80's early 90's did. What allowed those companies that are still around to survive was getting national exposure for their products and at the time the magazines were the only way to do that. Hart probably had a loyal local following in some areas but they never made it on the national level at that time. Petras was the same way. So were a lot of other bradns that no longer exist. The Hart sub that I remember being reviewed was pretty well panned. The sound was described as muddy. The take-away from the situation IMHO is that if you are a small company trying to get good press to get you national exposure to grow your company you don't throw your budget driver out there to the wolves unless it is a real standout in its class. The JL 10W1 was the perfect example of how to generate good press. [/QUOTE]
