Bin sehr begeistert. Der Einbau dauerte keine 10min. Der Hertz mp700.3 Harmoniert sehr gut mit Upgrade Lautsprecher von eton. Klare Stimmen bis max Lautstärke. Absolut zu empfehlen
My take as an electrical engineer and amateur audio guy: for the price, ease of installation, and improvement, you should just get one. Gets rid of the horrible distortion and compression that the stock speaker experiences, and although this means it's less "bright" at lower volumes, it's just a much better experience when you turn the volume up even a little. Sound stage is much improved; clarity wise I think it's alright but you're not getting audiophile-level instrument separation with a small speaker-only upgrade. Sibilance is either more noticeable or being introduced by the speaker somewhat, but the positives outweigh this con.
This replacement speaker is crystal clear especially at higher volumes. Get rid of the muddy sounding stock speaker.
Easy installation with a number of video's online as reference. And the speaker is great, clarity and definition are greatly improved. Definitely the first step with adding poly fill to the subwoofer.
I bought this speaker with a hope that it would be noticeably better than the stock one, which is poor in my opinion. But really, this is a night and day difference! I wasn't expecting that much of a change. I am very happy, it exceeded my expectations. If one does not hear a difference then they don't need HK sound system in the first place - they are just insensitive to quality sound.
