[airtas 10+ year member]

I currently have polk db's which I like but I think they are lacking something not sure what.

I have an infinity 4 channel pushing out 111 rms per channel and also have two alpine type r subs

what can I do for a speaker upgrade, I was looking at the boston pro 60's

yes, no?

pro 60's are good but there's so many options across all the brands. i have cdt m6's with drt-26 aluminum tweeters and i love them for rock

if you don't know what the db's are lacking then how do you know what you want in a new set of speakers.

I really liked Rainbow CMX 265's with the CAL25 titanium tweeter for my rock/metal music.

The board member Hemiscott has a pair of those that I used to own that he's selling for $175 shipped. that's a great deal on a set that's usually around $300 brand new.

Do you have a budget in mind?

Ps - nice amp... I have a 7541a

the new image dynamics look real good... i like dynaudio-killer sound quality. stay away from metal dome tweeters.

what is your budget?

 

[airtas 10+ year member]

budget isn't really an issue i would like to stay within 300-600

I think the polks are lacking treble and some mid bass

I recommend the Powerline CMX 265 Kick. On a good clean 2x200w rms. Yeah baby.

I'd jump all over these if I were you

 

[Gary S 10+ year member]

Yes, you could do much better than the Polks.

The rainbow speakers mentioned above are good. Other great bang for the buck speakers are Cerwin Vega V-max 65, PPI 356cs, Image Dynamics, and Critical Mass.

no mention of any deadening, how do you have your polks installed?

 

[gamecock guru]

the new image dynamics is your best bet. think about it this way... would you rather have the lower line of a high dollar comp or the top of the line of a mid-high level comp? with rainbow you don't want anything lower than the geraniums. modles less than just listed is a waste. your just buying the name.

- This is very wise advice.

I love that avatar... too much junk in the trunk is just right... and I'm not talking about audio equipment!
