Component Help/Advice

[jdowney 10+ year member]

Hate to start a thread like this but here it goes:

I am looking at buying these components :

Focal 165w

Mb Quart QSD 216

JL ZR650-Csi

Dynaudio gt240

Boston Acoustic Z6

i will be using a zapco ref350 amp, and install is in a 2004 chevy avalanche.

I have heard the Mb quarts, the boston acoustics and the Focals in person and liked them all. I dont know much about tuning, local dealer said they will spend the time to adjust everything based on a few cds i bring in to my prefrences. What I would like to know is which component set might best serve me, I listen to everything from talk radio->Rammstein->2pac->Miles Davis->Trance music.

I am leaning towards the focals but wanted to see if anyone knew of a reason to stick with one of the others since they are all in the same price range. I was looking at a step below towards the mid line sets like the Mb Quart pce 216's and the JL audio xr650 but wasnt really impressed the way i was with the focals, boston's and quarts.

They will be ran by an Eclipse AVN5435

Just to make sure I am not asking which is best or a better brand since alot depends on the install and the application, just want to get some input from some people that have owned or do own them that listen to similiar music to me and possibly another recommendation on wether to use a 4 channel amp for each speaker and tweeter.

I have the MB Quarts. They are really nice speakers and will scream. I would really suggest these speakers to someone who listens to alot of rap. At the time when i put my system in thats about all i listen to was rap, since then I have changed and mostly onlye listen to alternative and rock. They do not do all that well on rock because they are somewhat harsh to me, I even set the tweets way low. Rap they are awesome, rock they are alright. Since you listen to mostly everything I might suggest you get a set with silk tweeter. They will be alittle smoother for you.
