New member Username: Stick1Post Number: 8 Registered: Apr-06 | I currently have an Alpine SPR-176a component set and I'm looking to upgrade. The amp for the set is an Alpine mrv450?(unsure of the model number, but it is 50x4). I also have 2 Alpine TypeR 10s, and 1 TypeR 12. I want to step up in the component set. I've been searching the forum for two days straight and I'm no closer to a decision, so I need some adive. I listen primarily to metal in mp3 format. I think I have it narrowed down to a few so hear they are: Focal 165v2 CDT ES-610 Diamond S600a JL XR653 DLS (not sure which model, still looking) I have 300-400 to spend and I would prefer to use the amp I have. I'm open to suggestions and would really appreciate some help. I'm looking for more midrange from the doors. Thanks |

They do not post here anymore. So you listen to metal in MP3 format? Well then you need a loud setup, or at least you want a mid that screams. This means that it is loud in the upper midrange. CDT, which is Vifa, are probably your best choice for loud screamy mids. I have used Vifa in home systems and they have a rock and roll response. The others are also great choices, but you need to have all of them side by side to see which one is actually better in your opinion. |

New member Username: Stick1Post Number: 9 Registered: Apr-06 | Thanks for the quick response. I was actually leaning toward CDT. The ES610 listed on wooferetc seem to be last years model. How does the ES (eurosport?) compare to the CL-61-560? |

I can get you either but I think the ES(especially the new) will be out of your price range. The new ones are orange and have a black cone. The ES and CL are no where near the same. But PM me if you have questions on CDT, i'm a dealer for them. |
