I've been up in the air about which set of speakers to get. I will be powering them off a JL 300/2v2 (150w rms x 2) and will only be running front speakers. I have heard the Polk's at a local store and they were definitely the best speakers that were avialable there (not a huge selection though) I have heard pros/cons about both. Some have told me the tweeter on the Hertz can be a bit harsh but that there mids are much better while the Polk's have a great tweeter. Freq range is also a big larger on the Polk's if that actually means anything. Any thoughts, anyone heard both of these speakers? Polk's would end up costing about $100 less as well but I don't want to just save $100 and then regret it later.

 

Find a place that you can listen to Hertz. I have heard the HSK165 and thought they sounded nice, but not sure they are worth the price tag. How much can you get them for?

 

The place is asking 330 for them, I'm sure I could get them down to atleast $300 if not less. It is also the place that I will most likely be getting everything installed so I have a feeling If I purchase from them I'll be able to talk down the price for the install. Like I said the Polk's I see online for like $230 after tax/shipping, saw them new on ebay for $179.99 though.

 

we used to sell the mm line and they sounded good.... but i prefer the hertz

 

not quite the same league of speakres.

IMO the HSK is a much better sounding spekaer than the MM. but then again, i dont anyhting in the polk line other than of course the SR

 

Still loving my SR's

Getting them at cost makes me like them more, full retail would of steered me to DLS or DynAudio since Hertz was not on my list back then.

 

I dont know why you dont here alot about these speakers but for the price you cant beet them and less than $300.00 online the Pioneer TS-C720PRS sound really nice. Yes there not focals or DLS but for the money they sound great!
