they look fantastic, pure sex!

Bet they sound amazing too!

It will be interesting to hear how they sound - wearing the Hertz flag you would expect them to be on the nicer side of accurate

Priced very well also.

Very interesting. I remember last time I bumped into Phil he was saying about something along this line. Be very interested to hear them price is very enticing.

Rubber surround looks - interesting. Hopefully like most Hertz gear they play loud too

im extremely interested in hearing these as im looking for new speakers, with the new hertz mille sub this may be a perfect fit, Hertz is extremely nice gear in my opinion

they sure look sexy

The first shipment of MLK165 arrived this week and was snapped up in total by Westside Car Audio in WA.

Stock should be out of their central warehouse and in the stores (Morley, Cannington & Osborn Park) by Monday the 27th.

Further stocks will be arriving late December / early Jan 2007 depending on transit times from Italy.

Nice to finally see something from hertz to bridge the gap - it's something I feel has been long needed.

The HSK's have always been quite a nice set in their price point, so it's good to see the brand reach out to other markets.

Waiting to hear some news on these

Damn thats sexy!! hahah

hmm should i upgrade my Hsks to these??

id tap those....and yes, you should

I just ordered a set of these. They sound fantastic..

Trits, please post once Westside have installed the speakers, I'd love to see a pic or two and get your view of the speakers performance once they have bedded in a little.

Lol. How did you know they were being installed at Westside?

Sure, I'll do a little writeup or something on them.

Westside is the only store that has stock....

Plus they are the only store in WA that sells Hertz...

We have two outlets for Hertz / Audison in WA one is in Broome (and somehow they seem to move a ton of gear up there) and Westside Car Audio who have three stores at this time.

Westside were selected due to their quality of workmanship and coverage of the Perth metro area, all Westside stores are owned by one company which we believe is a major factor in the consistancy of quality.

Westside also represent other leading brands for WA.

For the record, the second shipment of the MLK-165 has just arrived and all bar two sets went to Westside, their customers it seems just cant get enough of them!

These look great. Would love to hear them!

That's because there is soooo much money to spend on toys floating around up here with the resource boom! Not a whole heap of knowledge to back it up though...

I've written a few bits on them under the SQ forum...

Another one from the Hertz line eh... The MLK165 looks devilish!!! I can only imagine how these sing after listening to the ESK 3 ways I came away really impressed!!

Sat down and had a really good listen to these at a store in Melbourne with them on the board, after some setting up changes and the like i found these speakers to have an unusual cosmetic appearance, very nice midwoofer, with a truly impressive cone and surround setup, tweeter seems a little on the large side with a large punctured silver mesh cover, the woofers mesh grille also has the word Mille embossed upon it, a little touch that many wouldn't notice. Upon listening i found them to have tremendous midbass authority but to me the upper mid and treble seemed a bit loose and lacking. They will crank too!

anyone got an in depth review on these.....my ESK's are dieing so im looking to upgrade and id like to stick with hertz

also what do they tend to sell for?

You need to have a look around, there have been many members buy these and as yet no one has told me that they were disapointed with them only very happy.



Current RRP is $780 odd (too tired to look at the price list now) but they are heading to $829 odd July 1st due to a poor exchange rate between USD and Euro.



Phil

thanks.....i might just go with a new set of ESK's lol cos im yet to hear a set of speakers i like better (yes, i may be biased) but ive listened to DLS, Dyn, Focal, Morel, Alpine, etc and im yet to say "id buy a set of those"

thats not to say that they werent good or even fantastic but i suppose if you have listened to the same set of speakers for the last year or so you get used to them.....quite like a pair of shoes, sure the new ones are nice and trendy but they are just missing that something special that you are used to having every day

not that ive ever bought the same pair of shoes twice....i guess ill learn to love a new set of speakers.....might put up another "what speakers" thread in the general section
