Budget Comps: CDT vs. PG

[Master0fPuppets 10+ year member]

Hey, first post here.

I've been looking around this forum for a while and have narrowed my choices of comps down to these, basically based on greatest quality for the lowest price.

I've seen both of these recommended a lot but no one comparing the two.

CDT cl-60a or Phoenix Gold RSd 65cs

What do you recommend? Any others?

I'm pretty sure the "Patriot Gold" you are referring to is Phoenix Gold haha, but it's ok. But, to give my personal opinion i'd say go with the Rsd's, because they are very good bang for the buck components and you'll enjoy the midbass. Most users will say don't get the CDT's unless you are getting the cl-61a series.

lol, edited. Anyway

The site I was looking to buy the 60a's from seemed to begiving away the 61a's to everyone on this board due to a short supply. I don;t know if this is still happening, but I was sort of counting on it.

the cdt's msrp at much more than the phoenix golds, are they much better?

The CDT's are much better sound quality IMO and are purchased from an authorized dealer so it has a better warranty too.

Hopefully I am not thread jacking, and that this question might benefit you as well, but do you have any recommendations of where to buy the rsds? I've seen a few off ebay for $105 shipped or so. Any better deals or places near that same price that will give a good warranty?

From this Authorized Internet Retailer for $129 shipped. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

if you have no way of hearing either one youll never know which one you will like best. Since they are about the same in price i say flip a coin //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sadly there is nowhere around here to listen to good spekaers, only cirtcuit city and best buy. Therefore I must go solely on online opinion :lurk:

i always like the way the cdt's sounded alot better then the pg's ... then again it's total perfrence.

I have never heard the rsd;s but I will tell you that im only giving my CDT CL61as 120w per side and I freaking LOve them. For the $100 I spent, I am absolutely satisfied.

 

[krisfnbz 10+ year member]

and I was one of those people who ordered the 60's and was upgraded to the 61a's for $100 shipped at woofersetc.com
