Are Seas Reference comps really that good?

[Colin+M 10+ year member]

I am torn between the Seas Ref. set, Boston Z6's and Focal 165K2P.

which do you think would be the most impressive off of 250 watts per side.

I also have 500 watts per side available for the Z6's if needed.

I know the Seas have a great reputation, and I can get all three sets for about the same $$$.

any help will be appreciated

If you are going to run 250rms per side, dont get the seas.

i mean set the gains and should be fine. i heard a set of lotus refs and absolutely loved it. i thought it was more detailed than the dls iridiums.

Ouch! I picked up my Iridiums a little while back and will have them installed next week in the truck.... 205W each //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif You are saying these are better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif I read and heard alot about the Iridiums so that leaned me towards getting them. What is the top of the line Seas and where/how much?

would you put them above the Boston Z6's?

I plan on powering them with the front channels of my MB QAA4250

intercooler, dont worry. the iridiums are an awesome set. Very warm sounding detailed speakers. Honestly you can't go wrong with either set but i felt that the lotus refs were a bit more detailed and the tweeter fit my taste more than the iridiums. the iridium tweets were smoothe though i loved that set as well.

colin+m, i haven't heard a set of boston z6's so i can't really make a real comparison. But if i had the money, i'd get me a set of lotus refs. its 10% off at mobilesq.com right now.

670 bones. They would have to show me ALOT to get the nod over a set of Z-6's at the same price.

Actually I can get the Z6's BNIB cheaper than a set of used Seas Ref's. I think I'll pocket the extra flow and power the hell out of the Z6's.

I might do a DIY setup with Seas down the road, its cheaper that way.

the seas reference is an awesome set.

I know, I almost hate to go with the Bostons just because I feel like I would regret it down the road. I want this to be my last set of comps for awhile. I am tired of changing things up

from what i heard, the z6's are supposed to be awesome and would absolutely love the power that you have. if its cheaper, then i'd go for the z6 (although like i said i haven't heard them but heard great things about them).

You wont ever regret the day you bought the z6's.
