Silver Member Username: ExigeCDT, Audiopulse Dealer Post Number: 745 Registered: Nov-07 | A set of CDT ES-62i's would do very well for you and currently be less expensive than the Polk set. It should also get a good bit louder than the Polk set. Have a look here: http://cdtgold.com/es62i.htm Standard cost is $800, but email me at mike@exigeaudio.com and I can work out a price in your budget for you  |

A speaker which would bring out even the tiniest detail of the song....allll these within 450$, thats why I chose SR6500 because of the clarity and depth Also I am new to high end audio installations...so are you sure CDT es62i is better than SR6500 in every aspect i.e. you mentioned cdt being louder, but i am not a big fan of loudness...so pls help me out |

You want a lot of midbass extension though.... you would likely have to run a 3 way system (which prob would require custom work) to get that without compromising standard midRANGE output. |

New member Username: Bch5h7Post Number: 5 Registered: Mar-09 | I am no expert but I am also looking for speakers in a similar price range. My budget is $400 for speakers so you may be able something better, but here are the brands I have been looking at. This forum is really big on CDT speakers. With that being said, CDT seems to be a very well like brand on other forums as well, so they are definitely worth looking at. You may also want to look a DLS, Morel, Image Dynamic, Rainbow, and Focal. I have been looking on www.woofersetc.com. I don't think they have the best prices but they have a good selection, which allows you to compare the different brands. Good luck. |
