[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8345638, member: 576029"] I should clarify that I have the most experience with the MLK-165 which uses the ML-165 and ML-28. I haven't spent time with the new Legend series, and they've made drastic changes to the construction. The new crossovers look smaller, the new tweeters are not tunable (but stuck with the 920Hz fs I prefer and still have high- and low-density damping). Compared to the next-gen ML1600 i prefer the older ML165. The ESK series has certainly made good strides to becoming better than it was. But just stealing the V-Cone concept but applying it with cheaper materials isn't a recipe for success. I did testing to compare the legit MLK-165 vs. the fake MLK-165. Two speaker systems that are nearly identical cosmetically could not have sounded any different. The fakes were awful, you'd make faces when listening to them compared to the legit speakers. of course, T/S and impedance sweeps were also different. [/QUOTE]
