Hertz HSK 165
Hertz Hi-Energy series 6.5″ component set
After a long thought of review of the Hertz MLK 165, we now take the time to check out the next in line—the Hertz Hi-Energy HSK 165. This is not an actual review, just a brief overview of how it may compare with the MLK 165.
The HSKs are sold in the sub $300 price range, making it around $500 less than the MLKs. Basing for that observation alone, it might not have half of what the highly-regarded MLK has to offer. It uses the HT25 neodymium tweeter, which we know is a decent tweeter with decent materials, which is 3-way adjustable.
It has a maximum wattage rating of 250 watts, 50 less than the MLK, and an RMS handling of 125 watts (25 less than the MLK). As with frequency response, it goes as low as 50Hz, as expected, because the MLK can go as low as 35Hz. But surprisingly, it goes upwards of 22 kHz compared with the MLK’s 7kHz (what’s up with that?).
It would be great to listen to one of these and see for ourselves what kind of mid-product Hertz offers. We’ve been awed and amazed with the MLKs so we’re really itching to listen to one of these. Once set up, we will post a full critical review of the HSK 165. Stay tuned.
