[QUOTE="BringDaBoom, post: 3531608, member: 581483"] The C5's, in essence, are what the XR's should have been from the start. The woofer (Along with the ZR) is light years ahead of their other component sets because they are basically engineered, designed, and built like their subwoofers. Prior to the C5's and ZR that hadn't happened. And the Silk dome tweeter is smoother than an aluminum or metal tweeter, but still very crisp (Think VR's. Same tweeter) They have two main features and engineering points of the W7 and W6 (which much of has been passed on down to the W3 and even some stuff to the W1) DMA optimized motor elevated frame cooling Add into that the quality of the materials (Kurt Muller Woofers and suspension parts, Butyl rubber surround) and hand assembled in Germany. I've heard them once and really, really liked them. I have owned all VR's up to this point, and have now gotten 5x7 C5's for my install going down next month. I liked the XR's but the tweeters were a bit too harsh for my liking. Now with a better woofer and silk tweeter, the C5's are the perfect blend of XR and VR for my liking. MB Quart is also a top notch speaker. They are one of the original great sounding car audio loudspeakers and they continue to make a great product. They only way to really know which one is better for you, is to sample them both with some music you know real well and decide. When it comes to accurate sound reproduction, clarity, and some pretty decent output as well, the C5's do it for me. [/QUOTE]
