Yeah I like the sound and would buy from the shop, but they're around $450 (towards top end of my budget) so I just wanted to see if there were other speakers that were very well known around that price. Also on other audio forums I've read some people picking them up online for like $300...but the only ones under $400 I've seen were either the 1st gen. or from Malaysia (not real).
Any info regarding Hertz in general would also be very much appreciated
