Just got my stage 1 hertz center speaker installed. It sounds UNREAL! I actually cant believe how good it sounds . 120% recommended ! Installation was a breeze.
Great upgrade for the Mk 8.5 w/Harmon Kardon. Vocals are more pronounced and installation takes less than 5 minutes. I ended up purchasing the Audison front and rear speakers as well, and can't wait to install them!
Also, Phil is excellent to work with and made the buying experience easy. The service he provides is top notch as others have stated, and I highly recommend his products and his company.
Easy fit, great sound.
I can't believe that the difference this one speaker made! The clarity is next level now. Install was a breeze. No regrets here.
Just this one little speaker makes all of the difference, bringing the MK8.5 from sub-par to pretty dang good.
