I've owned all three of the recomended speakers here and just installed some of the new Pioneer Z (CH) series (which I rank up with the $500+ Morel and Focals, I know, shocker but they are phenominal!. If you want to get more from what you already got, try going woth the 2ohm NVX V series 6x9 compenents, they will give you more from your amp at a given wattage as they are 2ohm load speakers. If your amp is not 2 ohm stable, try the NVX "X" series, go to sonicelectronics, great very high performance mid budget speakers for the money. These are all good and believe it or not, the 6.5" Pioneer TS-Z65CH 6.5" are really an outstanding sleeper of a speaker, very high res!
