Best Speakers for warm natural sound but do not sound like crap with mp3's

[flightz71 10+ year member]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to do a set of 6.5" components for my 98 Supra.

Price does not matter, as long as it sounds like how I want it to.

I currently own some top notch speakers... Focal K2Power 165 KRX2 in my M3, but the highs are just wayyyy too harsh. I like how music sounds richer when you crank up the treble and bass on the HU (I have a W505) as well as turn on the "loudness" button. These speakers though play just wayyy too bright. If I leave the bass and treble flat... the music has no depth and sounds very bland. Moreover... the KRX2's just don't get low... if I run a full range (no crossover) signal to the speakers... they distort at higher volumes. The midbass is very punchy but I want to hear the deep hum's type of bass... the kind you hear when you turn the bass knob up on factory systems... not the pounding. Finally, these speakers are as detailed as everyone says but at the expensive of fatigue on my ears.

With this said... I want my new ones that:

Don't sound like crap with 192k mp3's.

Can play lowwww... I really like on factory systems like in the G37/e46 M3 you get even 50Hz coming from the doors and how the bump and you can feel the vibrations / hum from the bass instead of all the way back from the sub.

Ones where I don't need to change the EQ on every **** song. I want it similar to a factory system where just turning up the volume gets me more music instead of the tweeter threathen to deaf me and the bass response pounding so hard it's going to give me a headache. (obviously due to the fact that both the treble and bass are turned up... but again without them the music sounds flat and bland due to the mp3's)

I heard more expensive speakers pronouce the flaws in mp3's more so I'm guessing I need a more low end speaker to achieve what I'm looking for? Honestly... even the factory bose system in my brother's RSX sounds "better" (just no low end) than my $3500 system in my M3. I feel like many factory systems make me content (the M3 one was supar which is why I upgraded) when I went all out and did the best (W505, KRX2, JL 450/4, 500/1, 10W6v2) I just gave myself more problems that I started with.

I know i'm a bit vague and untechnical in my description but just looking for some input.

I was just looking as stuff like:

Polk Audio - db Series - Mobile / Marie Speakers

I figure a more budget style speaker might fit what I'm looking for.

You shouldn't be able to hear "where" your bass is coming from. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

you turn your bass and treble all the way up? seriously?

you turn the loudness setting on? seriously?

tweeters are too harsh? have you tried turning the attenuation down?

midbass isn't' punchy? are your doors deadened?

sounds good with 192 kbps mp3s? seriously?

you want mids that play down to 50 hz? seriously?

you like to hear the bass coming from behind you? seriously?
