[QUOTE="Steven, post: 92264, member: 544311"] Clarity is one of the most important thing when I considered what I bought. When I bought the pyramids, I compared them to some JBL's, Pioneers, Jensen, and many other brands priced under $75. When placed in my car, the pyramids had the best sound for the dollar. And seeig as how distortion is the #1 cause of stereos lacking clarity I'd say that is a vaild arguement. I refuse to base my judgements of how a speaker sounds like on how it sounded on the demo board. The demo board is no where near a car audio set-up. The rooms are designed to "amplify" the sound from the speaker so it sounds louder. The demo rooms are also "tuned" so that anything played in them sound "bassier" than it really is, this is because "MOST", and I stress MOST, people look for system that put out bass like there is no tomorrow. (don't tell me you were NEVER, EVER impressed by the car that just drove by and you could feel the bass from over 20 feet away.) Instead I base how a speaker sounds on how it sounds when installed. And when the pyramids sounded good in my custom enclosure running off my 280 watt kenwwod amp, I decided they were a good deal. Now just because they sounded good with my set-up does not mean that they will sound good with yours, and it definately doesn't mean that a better pair won't sound better. It just means that, at the time, they were a good speaker. I will argue to the death until you prove me wrong. To prove me wrong you'l have to show me how these speakers do not sound clear in my set-up. Just because the last time you heard a pyramid speaker it was one their bottom line models, being seriously overpowered on a demo board it sounded like crap does not mean that all pyramids will sound like crap in all installations.
