[QUOTE="neo_styles, post: 8210475, member: 644168"] Comes down to your sound goals and personal preferences. I know people tend to get detracted from the fact that the MS comps use a titanium dome, but they're some of the butteriest dam[COLOR=black]n[/COLOR] metal domes that I've ever come across. In terms of midrange clarity and accuracy, it's a phenomenal set. However, if you're in greater pursuit of midbass punch and dynamics, you'll want to either look at the P660C or explore alternatives. Unfortunately, the MS don't have a huge amount of midbass presence and instead trade off for a more neutral response throughout the range. Honestly, the P660C is more characteristic of JBL's traditional sound signature of live, in-your-face viscerality and the MS is its more refined, softer-spoken counterpart. As far as comparing both to the C5, I think the MS would be a closer match. That being said, don't discount the alternatives. The Image Dynamics CXS and PHD FB 6.1 Kit sets are both phenomenal and would give the C5 a good run for its money. Both go for about $300 a set. [/QUOTE]
