I'm a fan of the CDT CL6 coaxials. On woofersetc, they're on sale right now for under 100.

Leaning towards the Pioneers for the price.

i had the pioneer tsd 702p and they are great for the money. best coaxs ive heard. ive had them running on 30-80wrms a piece and they sounded great. tweets are not harsh at all and they were able to keep up with my 15" on 1kw.

cant comment on the others. iirc , madisound has some hi-fi coaxes for a decent price. i havnt been able to find anything on them but they look nice. cheaper than the rest too.

depending on your budget, if you want good midbass and a tweeter thats detailed but not harsh, look at the morel, or hertz. The Energy line of coaxials may be your best bet!

are you talkin about the ctx65cs comp set or the ctx65 coax set?

Both look like nice sets I like the CTX65 Coaxials...

i've heard the the tweets in the coax set and imo they aren't harsh.

Focal are harsh but ID are in no way even close to harsh, the ID's have a slik tweeter that is actually very smooth.

Go with the ID's you won't regret it, im using them and love the way they sound.

Harsh from a ID tweet you say? You smoking crack at the time?
