I've read that the Boston's are quite capable in numerous threads, but I've only auditioned the Momo's.

That said, I'd go with the Polks just because they are very capable and enjoyable (to my ears) drivers.

Yep. I don't care for the way they sound. But that's me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

They're generally a safe bet. The new Pioneer D series comps (TS-D720C or TS-D1720C -- replacements for the discontinued REV comps) would be another safe bet. Great reviews thus far.

I'd only recommend that if the OP has the capability or the desire to go active.

save your money on spending it on the boston, go with polk and use the money saved into a good amp to power them!

Yep, focus on your front stage first. In fact, you might want to disconnect the rears altogether for a couple months so you can best tune the front stage. You might like it so much that rears might not even be needed, thus keeping the sound stage and imaging where it belongs.... up front.

I vote polks also. Had 75w going to them and they got plenty loud.
