if you are hurting for cash go with the db if you have the money get the momos. Components offer something that coaxials cant really do and thats get the right imaging by moving around the tweeter. After you have a front set of components you will never get coaxials in the front again. Now for the rear just leave coaxials for fill if anything at all.

I say the momos. Ive been a Polk fan for years, and the db sound good for their price, but the Momos sound alot better. Alot more detal and clarity at low and high volumes.

Sorry forgot about this thread, I have owned both and the DBs are good for the price and have good clarity and suprising punch. However, the MMC have much better clarity at high volume. For the price of the DBs, their are better options out there. I dont have any exp with the alpines though.

Yes, noticeable difference between the two Polk sets when installed correctly.

As for the SPX's, I run them and they are fabulous speakers. Feed them about 80-100W rms per side and they will sing with disctinction. Not *loud* per-se, just crystal clear.

If you are looking for a more aggressive midbass, go with the Momo's. If you are looking for uncomprimised clarity, go with the SPX's.

The Rainbow SLC's should also be on your list for possibilities.
