Bronze Member Username: Bmage29IA USA Post Number: 12 Registered: May-06 | Something happened to my previous post, don't know what though. ANYWAYS... My current speakers are about shot, and I need new ones. I got a comparison from crutchfield.com and need some more opinions. Also is sony any good since it's so cheap? http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/prodcomp.asp?g=51800&compareite ms=500SPS130A&compareitems=158XSV1342&compareitems=130TSA1371&compareitems=500SP S13C2&compareitems=109GTO527&compareitems=113KFC1390&hidesimilar=y I want the speakers to merely replace my factory ones, without adding an extra amp or extra wiring. Crutchfield says they send addaptors for factory settings. Recommendations would be appreciated. ALSO NOT SPENDING OVER $100 for speakers, I might replace my rear speakers, but they are still in fairly good shape. |

I just got the QSDs and they are the best speaker you can get on the market right now other than Focal. I has the alpine type Rs before these and the MB Quarts blow them out of the water. |

Bronze Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 87 Registered: Mar-05 | Of the ones in your comparison I'd also go with the Type S, but you may also want to think about a set of Polk db525's. They're $89.99 on Crutchfield and you can get them cheaper on ebay (here is an auction going on now). I run the component version (db5250) and am very happy with them. Keep in mind though that we can give you all the advice in the world, but the best thing to do is go out and listen for yourself. I listened to the Type S as well as many others (Infinity, MTX, Pioneer, Kenwood) and settled on the Polk speakers simply based on my personal preference. You're not going to find a lot of tangible difference in terms of quality and materials if you stick to major brands in a similar price range, so it comes down to which ones sound best to you. |
