[QUOTE="georobu, post: 1511568, member: 563522"] I run the seas lotus reference upfront and the boston z6 for rear fill. The bostons sound like Bose compared to seas, it's like it's missing a chunk of midrange inbetween tweeter and woofer. I blame it mostly on the tweeter, I don't like it at all. The woofer is amazing, with a decent phase plug I would say they are very comparable with the seas. I ran both the boston and seas active so I can't tell you how it's going to sound with the suplied xover, probably a lot different. Power wise, I ran 125Watts to the boston woofer and made it bottom out really easy with 80hz high pass. The Seas reference woofer is running over 250 watts same xover point and I can hardly make it bottom out, the coil overheats with continuous play however. I'd say 200 watts daily no problem though. I never ran the boston woofers with more power to test coil heat resistence but the suspension bottoms out before that. With all this in mind, ran active the Seas are in a higher class, with the Boston woofer giving it a good run. Instalation wise the Bostons have better options than any speaker set I've tried, it's virtually unbeatable for a clean install. [/QUOTE]
