Hertz HSK 165 - Fake/Real?

I recently purchased a set of Hertz HSK 165's on eBay without doing my due diligence (research). These came in from Malaysia, and I think they're fake, but can anyone verify?

First, the box - it is a flimsy cardboard, single layered. The text on the back is all kinds of wrong:

P9200462.jpg


But the speakers themselves look real (to me). They have serial numbers on the crossovers and mids:

P9200464.jpg


P9200465.jpg


P9200466.jpg

What do you think? Have I been had? Seller says the box literature on authentic Hertz products such as the MLK series have misspellings/grammar issues - is this true?

 
I was thinking about buying these exact speakers and haven't pulled the trigger due to the fact that they are from Malaysia. I was curious to see if they were older model Hi-Energy set. However, I was unable to find this line/look of Hi-Energy. Let us know what you find out as to whether or not they are real. Worst case hook them up and see how they sound.

Will do. I emailed Hertz tech support so I'll let you guys know what they say. I too am hoping it was cheap due to being a discontinued older model. Stupid me didn't see they were from Malaysia until after I placed the bid.
