I would have to go with the CDT's. The HCCA's are great, but with Woofersect.com you get a warranty. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

This is what I hate about CDT..."Power handling: 110 watt RMS @ 120Hz High-Pass"

If I were him I'd spend an extra $100 and get the eurosport or a/d/s 346cs (or the PPI ones which are the same for only $225) comps off of ebay.

- I agree. Also, the new PPI 356cs is a step up from the ADS sets. I just saw a set listed on ebay last week for $175, that would be the best bang for the buck, and probably 90% of what anyone of us need.

That gonzo set gets the gong... overpriced, mismatched drivers and crossover, ten-year old outdated technology... need I say more?!

i would get the CDT. i am using the entry level CLs and love them. the ones you linked are a better speaker so they should sound great.

it has to do with the crossovers. If you look at what CDT has on their webpage, the crossovers aren't the same.
