Found a set of HSK from an international Ebay seller at a very good price. With the talk of fakes I would normally dismiss a seller like this immediately, but he's sold over 70k items with a 99% positive feedback, and accepts returns. Would you guys order from a seller in Europe like him?

yea, they originate from Italy so they are pretty popular in Europe.

Sound deadened and tuned ESK to 4200hz. They sound entirely different. Definitely tune Hertz higher than crossover.

Anyone know how the Hertz sets are rated power wise? is it 300w/set or per pair?

Curious if anyone has any of these sets and how they're powering them?

Thanks!

per pair. Limited by the crossover. Going active you can put way more power to each driver

Finally...someone explains. So that's why the individual speaker ratings are so different from the sets. I think the woofer alone on the MKL1800.3 is 200/400max, but the set says 150/300max. The set seems really underrated.
