Alright, I've done an absurd amount of searches in this forum and I think I've narrowed down my choices a bit. Here's my current setup:
Pioneer 7500mp
DEI 2055 comps
ESX q1204
(2) JL 10W0-8ohms
The JLs and DEIs have seen better days and are going to be replaced. I'm likely going to go with the AA Assassins (whenever they're available/in stock again) to replace the JLs.
I love the way the DEIs sound, for a reference of what I like. Clean but smooth tweeters (not a fan of super-bright ones) and some nice punchy midbass. I'm SQ all the way, don't really care about SPL.
What 5.25s would you guys recommend for $150 or less (preferably less)? So far I'm thinking my best options are:
- CDT C51s
- Crystal SSCs
- a/d/s 245ix
I'd love to have Rainbows, but they're out of my price range. I believe I've seen a some people recommend a set of reasonably priced Orions...how do they stack up to the above comps?
Also keep in mind that the ESX will be pushing ~ 120w to whatever I get.
Thanks for the help.
