Hertz HSK-165 vs MLK-165

Wow man that's going to be amazing. Pretty close to what Tim B did, only he went with the MLK 2's like I did. You will be happy no matter what with that combo. Good luck and post a review like everyone else is saying.

Yeah man, I am completely blown away!!

I been driving around Houston burning gas just to listen to it since I left. I will post a better review some time this week, but in short, it sounds unbelievable.

That ML2500 does NOT sound like a 10" sub, and the gain is only set at half way on it. People are right about the mid-bass on the MLK165's -- amazing. I was listening to the Metallica S&M CD, track 2 "The Call Of Ktulu" and I heard things in that track that I never noticed before.

Anyways, just wanted to say it sounds much better than I expected. I will listen to some more music on it, and write up a proper review.

how are the tweets with only 50watts? Does it blend well?

Definitely ... the tweets are not harsh at all, but they are very detailed and clean. Tweets definitely held their own through out the Metallica S&M CD -- the triangles, flutes, violins and other higher frequency instruments came through clear against the drums and lower frequency instruments -- including the bass guitar.

Biamp on the xovers? Nah, I am not using the passive xovers. The a-channel of the amp is powering the tweeters @ high pass, the b-channel of the amp is powering the mids @ bandpass, and the d-channel of the amp is powering the sub @ low pass.

As for the sound? I am working on a review //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

what'd you end up crossing over the tweets and mids at?

 

[Bun-Bun 10+ year member]

Wow I just found this thread again...

Ok I think you guys convinced me to get the MLK's to be powered by my PDX4.150 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Might pick up the HSK's for cheap until then though...
