[QUOTE="supoaneko, post: 8475577, member: 668964"] Hey, all. I am finally jumping out of the entry-level game (db6501s) and moving into something a little better. Right now I have a 100w RMS per channel Rockford Fosgate amp for the front channels. I want to go active instead of passive once spring comes. I ordered a pair of CTX65cs comps because I didn't want my current amp to blow new speakers. I've heard great things about the Esprits and the IDs but I have a hunch the Esprits might be better. But what is better? I listen to EDM music mixed in with the occasional "something else" (could be anything from symphonic orchestra to hip hop to heavy metal). I have a hard time with harsh highs. What I wonder is two things: would it make sense to replace my amp to run the CTX65cs at 150w RMS each -OR- return the CTX65cs and replace them the the Esprit 6.5" comp set and maybe upgrade my amp down the road? Could the Esprits handle 100w RMS comfortably? Should I even be buying component sets if I plan to go active? [/QUOTE]
