Hi all,
Noob here. Had MB Quartz (forgot which model) on my 2000 Civic abt 5yrs ago. Just bought an '06 Odyssey, and I'm also looking in the $200-350 range for a 6.5" component system. I listen to mostly smooth jazz (Fourplay, Norah), and a few DVDs with DTS (like Eagles Hell Freezes Over DTS) for watching/listening to DVDs in the van. I don't want the sound to be too crisp or bright. Neutral + accurate , perhaps?
Will be mating them with maybe a 4-ch JL amp, and I *would* like to get the JL 13W7 with the 1000/1 amp. My buddy says that's overkill for the van, maybe a 10W3or something similar would suffice.
What would you guys recommend? CDT, Diamond, Focal, Dynaudio, Polk? I've never heard of the Rainbows or Crystals before I started reading this forum. I know that I should go out there and audition and listen, listen, listen....
