I voted Bostons because that's what I use and I love them. I have never compared them to any of the others listed, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. At least I won't recommend speakers that I have never listened to. You may get some of that around here, lol.

I voted for the Pro60's, because of all of the reviews I've read on them that they can easily take anywhere from 150-250w a side without issue.

I personally have my Rainbow CMX 265's running at 200w a side bridged, and they take it great....I just have to keep the gains fairly low.

i voted diamonds... either hex set will make you vary happy... i am running germs right now first time rainbow user... and to be honest the $200 price on the diamonds for me ears sounded better then the $450 rainbows... i would go diamond if i had to do it over again... I have ran the silk and aluminum S600 hex series comps and both were awesome... i also ran them both on 200 watts each.... frickin insane and nice... im seriously considering sellin my germs and goin back to diamonds...

I will be picking up a pair of Focal 165K2P 6.5 ....i've heard some good things about these babies, but only one bad part about them. The lowest i've ever seen them was $563 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Heard they can produce some massive sound..."concert" like almost

The HEX's ****....

Gotta agree. First had the Diamond Motorsport M6s about 5 years ago and they sucked...so I figured upgrade to the HEX series. They sucked too...hours of tuning and just could never get them to sound right.

BUT to each his own. My ears are not yours.
