i'd go with the bostons. i've heard that the tweets on the MB quarts are a little harsh

I think I'm going with the MB Quart PCE216 Premium Series. I just heard them earlier tonight, and they sound incredible.

Accord Man · 06-14-2003, 01:27 PM

the Reference doesnt really belong there..

What type of music do you listen to?

Judging from the rest of your setup, SQ is the name of the game.. right?

I'm actually going with the MB Quart "Q" Series QM 218.61 6.5" Component Set , which retail for $1500 and I'm getting them for $369.00.

SQ is what I'm going for!

Accord Man · 06-15-2003, 10:35 AM

Cool!
I hope you dont find them too bright, because they are a bit brighter than average..

06-17-2003, 01:04 PM

i say bostond but CDT or Focal are awesome too

06-19-2003, 02:58 PM

I say go with what sounds the best to you.

ShagginJet · 06-20-2003, 02:00 PM

I say Infinity Kappa is BEST.

I have Boston all the way around and I love them, I too at one point wanted MB Quart's but like a lot of people have said, they were way too bright. But good luck on whatever you decide.

I just picked up a set of Diamond Audio Technology M6 Components, they sound DAMN nice and are very affordable..
