[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8679856, member: 675210"] Different speakers same amp = different gain settings. Higher power handling doesn't necessarily mean "better speaker" and the same goes the other way. Efficiencies and materials of the speaker will be priority. Example: Tweeter #1 - 150w rms 82db 1.1" soft dome Tweeter #2 - 75w rms 96db 1.1" soft dome #2 is more efficient with less power and if the same "75w" is given to both speakers, #2 will be louder. Better sound... well, materials and placement as well as crossover frequency would be the focus here. Is the material different than the speakers being replaced? If so, you may prefer to stay with similar materials if that's what your ear likes... it IS all about what sounds good to YOU. [/QUOTE]
