how about this list the speakers you have used or listened to enough to rate them on a 1-10 scale this way people can read an see which speakers more people like

try not to be biased (those who are sponsored or work for a manufacture)

see alot of people never get to here some brands so please be there ears.

i was wondering if anyone has listen to the new alpine pro sets
if there are even out yet?

Subject: Re: SQ speaker ratings Fri Oct 12, 2007 11:04 am

on our everyday sales we use

alpine s and jl tr between those two the jl is definately the better speaker for dropins.

99-150 speaker range

so far when compareing the alpine to jl the jl comes out on top at each price level.

s<tr
r<vr
x<xr

those are our main two lines. we are looking at focal and were wondering were they would settle into the mix. mainly the access level
can anyone compare the access to the jl tr or vr?

Unfortunately I don't get to hear many nice lines of speakers. Alpine type-s is our most commonly sold line.

We also sell quite a few of the Rockford Punch line aswell. For the kids wanting alot of tweet. Those things scream. Not in such a great way though.

I run the MB Quart QSDs in my truck and am very happy with them. I have not heard the new Q-line yet so I cannot vouch for them.

Ive used or heard a number of different speakers from Jensens to Focal BE. And I still like the Focal Utopias.

I have run anything from infinty perfects to MBq Q series to Dyns, to Rainbow platinums, to Hertz Millies to Morels. I love my dyns for midbGluteus Maximus my hertz for midrange and tweets, and my Rainbows for tweets and midbGluteus Maximus

And I'd put the Hybrid Audio Technologies Legatia line in the ring with some Focal Utopias anyday. Honestly. I'll let you take a listen at Finals.
I like Dynaudio also...just not their small format tweeters...the Esotar is nice.
I've heard some really nice Focal Be set-ups...and some really nasty ones.
I've heard MBQuarts QSD and Q serises stuff. Some really good, some really bad.
I've heard some old school CliffDesigns and new CDT stuff that was stellar as well.
I've always liked the Scan product (F#1 stuff etc) in most apps.

There are others...the night is short...

I second the Hybrid gear.

Also, the Scan Rev 4" are no joke!

A couple of good low budget comp sets...Focal's Access and JL's mid line set with the silk tweet...whatever the designation is.

No not true at all. You can have the most expensive set up but if the install is sucks so will your expensive speakers. Granted it will be built better than most cheaper lines and the quality of the sound my be better to some bias ears.
