[POLL] Best 6.5" Component Speakers less than $400

[azngurlbaybee]

I'm making a list

Let me know what you guys think...Here's what I have seen as being the top 5 from bouncing around all sorts of forums:

1) Adire Koda
2) CDT HD 62
3t) JL Audio XR650-CSi
3t) Cadence Neo
5) Focal 165k2

Any thoughts about changes I should make? Stuff that should be added?

The reason I do this is because this is one of the more common questions I see being asked and it would be cool to have some general consensus...

kodas all the way man

[azngurlbaybee]

p.s. If what you see isn't here, feel free to reply with what you think should be here

Some other things I was thinking of were:

OZ matrix
ID chameleon
Rainbow Pro Series
MB Quart Q series
ID Horns either the cd1e, or cd1pro

i've heard the jl audio components and im not very impress with them.. i like the infinity better than than the jl audio components... as for those that you like.. i would go with either the focal or the cdt.. you cant go wrong with both..

[azngurlbaybee]

Wow...people on this board seem to really like the Infinity comps...I heard them locally and was unimpressed at how quickly they distorted

wouldn't recomend putting over 70 RMS on those speakers.... but i've heard both infinity and jl and i like infinity better.. like i said before, cdt or focal. you cant go wrong with them.. what nationality are you?

That's what some say....they have them at a local shop and they were real nice but not *amazing*

loka-loka.. azn din yun..anong coche mo? ilang taon ka na?

Uh...sorry

[B&R Innovations]

I gotta go the way of Rainbow or Coda or maybe Neo

[avistar23]

im for Kodas..

[Wonderbread]

now for the real question...

have any of you managed to hear these sets? especially the Koda's? lol.
the midline focal stuff is impressive, but not outstanding, however their utopia series are incredible...

[SuckMikeHawk23]

im willing to bet the majority of this board recommends stuff they've never heard before, they just by word of mouth and spread what they hear...

[MikeofTulsa]

ive not actually heard the kodas.....but i base my decision on them from very reliable sources (alaxan, josh, loyd, and a few others)
