I was told these comps are tight on quality and accuracy of sound. im thinking of buying a pair for my front stage. um anyone has any details on them. also i've heard boston acoustics can take power. i think its rated at 65-70 rms (4ohms). can i overpower them. my amp does bout 85 x 4 at 4ohms stereo (Rockford Punch 450.4).

They aren't bad speakers at all. A lot of people say that you should step up to the pros or z's if you go with Bostons but I have been pleased with the s60's. I don't know how the sx's compare, I think they are just the shallow mount version. I noticed a big difference in midbass by properly deadening my doors and by changing the way they were originally mounted. The install of any speaker is very important. These speakers have the potential of sounding pretty good.

Not direct experience, but I really like the sound of my SL60s. Clear, smooth and very loud. I've been running them on an older RF amp thats rated at 100x2 bridged in my Tacoma for about a year. Huge step up from the Infinity Reference components I had before these.

Not the forum boner speakers of the month though...

I dont have personal experience with the SX60's, but I have the SL60's and their great, i love them. Very clean, solid mids, excellent highs and can get very loud. Im using the JL A4300 4 channel. And in the rear deck I have the SX65 coaxials, and there a very nice set of speakers. Clean, descent highs, and mids.

I would reccomend the SL60's atleast. I bought the Pro 60's for my front and put the SX60's in the rears. After the first week I blew out the SX60's and then put in another set of the Pro's. The SL's are actually better then the SX's and cost less only $200. The Pro's are about $350.
