[QUOTE="Gary S, post: 1897038, member: 568291"] The JL XR was their top of the line set just a couple years ago... it's a good buy for the money. I chatted with the Crystal owner a few months back about the scss component systems... while the mid is top notch and can hang with the best, I don't like the design philosophy... the crossover point is high, and I can't see a surround on that tweeter. I think you will find the depth on the 6.5 set to be 3.25". It appears to be made in the same Asian factory as the DEI/directed stuff... the basket and magnet are the same as the old DEI Viper. I think the Orion is the best overall out of the three sets/price range... low crossover point, same tweet as on the top of the line DEI/PPI/Viper sets that retailed for as much as $500.00 ... professionally designed by Patrick Turnmire of Redrock Acoustics. The only reason they are so cheap is because they are priced fairly, about half the price of competing speakers... they compete with speakers in the $600 - $700 suggested list range. [/QUOTE]
