dls vs rainbow vs cdt OFF AXIS

[meinbeast 10+ year member]

upgrading my front 6.5 comps in my 04 tsx to either rainbow cmx or dls up6 or cdt hd's

the tweeter is located deep in the dash almost at the windshield. What component set is designed to sound better off axis? Bass response is almost equally important (no subs planned)

The stock system has a terrible sunken sound-stage, looking to correct that.

no shops in my area carry any of these to listen to, Ive narrowed it to these companies through several forums, seems each forum speaks highly of a different speaker.

I think Ive over-researched now Im running in circles, any help/opinions/comments appreciated.

I think they all have adequate off axis response. If i were to bury a tweet in the kicks, i'd count on the CMX tweet showing stronger dispersion and putting that sound dash top level over the UP6 tweet. No idea on the CDT, but the fact that they sell 'upstage' additional tweeter kits doesnt quite give me confidence in its ability for an extreme off axis install.

if at the windshield thats fine it'll be good. If possible the M6 would be better than the HD if going with no subs. But depth is deep.
