[QUOTE="alteraudiousa, post: 2136795, member: 564560"] Squeak does have a point that the Upstage and IEK sets are a little much but I will say they have there place in a poorly imaged install. Even though I'm a dealer for CDT i don't use the Upstage or IEK sets since my imaging is set quite well and naturally my music seems to hover around steering wheel height. Also with the addition of the M6 driver now into the mix, CDT's have a legitimately good driver with good midbass. I have found that CDT drivers have a tendency to have a "weaK midbass section but excel in the midrange and the tweeter is always nice. I have tried the Focals, DLS, some older MB's, and listened to some Seas and while I do like their sound their price range was the same or more than a comparable CDT set or with some of the Seas way over my price range i'd want to spend. But I would not say go with the CL series anymore, go EF or above or better yet, mix and match. Like me i've just finished up using in my car a set of HD-6's in the doors, ES-4 and ES-01 in the kicks. Sounded quite nice, but now I'm going back to my original plan for my M6 in the doors, Hybrid L3 in the kick and Drt-25 braxial mount and a custom crossover for the L3 and drt-25. [/QUOTE]
