Now that Bill and Rob are working here, they have a long relationship with EM (Audison/Hertz) and I have a really good understanding with the lineup. Basically, the Hertz lineup is made to be installed on axis for the most part. That is why, it usually sounds like crap on a display board (much like our JL Audio ZR components). But, when you hear it installed, their whole lineup is nothing short of impressive.

I was on the fence for a long time about this (we are obviously JL fans around here). But, over the last few weeks, I have heard quite a few side by side comparisons throughout the whole lineup, and I am impressed. The only thing that I am not a real fan of is their low line of speakers is all two ohms. So, being considered "cheater" speakers, they tend to sound much louder than anything put against them. If a customer is allowed to play with the display board "unattended", those tend to be the first speakers they go "wow" about. Anyway...
