Message: <blockquote data-quote="loknload" data-source="post: 8078895" data-attributes="member: 645148">I recently bought a set of HD-62AS from Trumpet and am hugely impressed.  I was considering the Hertz HSK-165, HAT Clarus series and the Rainbow SLC series.  I listened to the Hertz and they sound great but I didn't think they gave the punch that I wanted out of my mids and they just didn't have the warmth that I wanted.  I was able to listen to the HATs and they were awesome but about $150-200 more expensive than the CDTs.  I never was able to listen to the Rainbows.  I have also previously listened to the Focal line from the Access series to the K2s and I feel that the tweeters are too harsh for my liking on the Access and Performance series and, unless you buy a $600 set of components from Focal, the tweeters are too harsh.  Here is what I wrote to Trumpet when I got my CDTs installed:"I got my HD-62AS …in yesterday evening and started playing with them. Holy Cow! I love the way they sound. I thought my Polk Momo’s had good midbass and smooth highs. They’re lacking compared to the CDT’s. My tweeters ended up in the sail panels where my previous tweeters were (even though CDT and everybody else says not to do that) because it’s one of the only places in the truck for a tweeter to have a stealth install and the silk tweeter is tame enough that it does great up there. In fact, I get less imaging issues and had to use less EQ than I did with the Polk’s. I don’t have the imaging tweeters in yet but I’m going to put them in today and see how it sounds. I’m very glad I went this route instead of spending $50 more on the Hertz High Energy line and probably not having as warm or punchy of a speaker, which is what I like with the type of music I listen to..."I now have the imaging tweeters in and this set does everything it is supposed to.  The music is very real and very clear and is up in front of me on the dash board.  I have also previously had Boston Pro Series and I agree with you on the tweeters.  In fact, I'm not a metal tweeter fan.  CDTs silk dome tweeters are so smooth and realistic that I am totally satisfied with them.  Most shops out here don't know what CDT is and, if they do, you get a reaction like you did.  I'd put my front stage up against a Hertz HSK front stage any day.  My system is in a 2010 Toyota Tundra double cab and the front stage is being run by a Boston Accoustics GT4100 amp.  I have two 10" subs in a ported enclosure under the rear seat and they were crossed over at 80 hz and my front stage was crossed over at 100 hz.  When I put the CDTs in and started tuning, I turned the sub crossover down to 63 hz because the CDTs have so much punch and midbass and the CDTs are crossed over at 80 hz (12 db/octave on both).Listen to Trumpet.  He won't steer you wrong and he has great prices to boot.</blockquote>
