[QUOTE="Greg200SE-R, post: 965015, member: 560729"] I have had both the UR6 set and the Iridium 6.2 set in my car. Both of these absolutely sing. The iridiums are stunning in every way, but need careful installation to fully extract its potential. The UR6 can be dropped in and sound great in any situation. Good question, some posts on this board mention that the Iridium 6.5 is more musical than the "original" 8" but a new version of the 8" 'mid' is available. I have no experience with the 8 but I have the 6.2 set and these play as well as everyone says. Transparent and with very little resonance, the mids are extremely detailed but I've found only one drawback - they tend to sound a bit harsh (in my car anyway) above around 2.5KHz... but that's not a problem if your system is active because the UR1 tweeters play clean and smooth down to 1250Hz. My XO is 1.6KHz/24dB and the set just ******' Fings! Aluminum in DLS tweeters? Absolutely NOT. You heard wrong. DLS tweeters are amazing. The UR1s are amazingly smooth and delicate. Oh, and about the basketball grill: I'd rather have a low-diffraction (but very protective) BBall grill than a perforated mesh screen in front of my tweets anyday. Form follows function? I also have had the DLS UR6 set in my car and is one incredible sounding set out of the box. Great, balanced sound w/nice midbass. Same tweeter as the Iridium 6.2, but silghtly different mid (poly cone rather than paper). Not as installation-dependent as the Iridium 6.2. In my opinion, the UR6 mid has an overall smoother sound than the Iridium mid, but the Iridium makes up with a light and well-damped cone for transparency, imaging and quick impacts. I have not heard DLS' lower or middle line, but you can't go wrong with the comps mentioned above. [/QUOTE]
