Thanks "Warehouse" for the information.
Since my original post, I have tried an original HGS-12 side by side with a Series II. I can hear no difference in the performance of one verses the other except for a slight "humm" at idle out of the original model. I assume this is the noise your friend described. This noise is virtually insignificant as one has to put his ear right in front of the sub and listen carefully in order to hear it at all.
As for reliablility.........who knows.
Anyhow, thanks again, and Happy New Year.
