I am thinking of purchasing the CDT Audio CL-61A - CDT Audio Classic 6.5" 2-Way Component Speakers from woofersetc.com, because they are only $140.00 shipped. How do these speakers stack up against the competition (rainbow, canton, scanspeak, etc)? I am looking for something with a nice soft tweeter, not too soft, and a lot of midbass, which can take a good 100 wrms or so. Anyone run these? Any cons??

How do they compare to the JL XR series?

Thanks

 

Sounds like the tweeter is what you are looking for. I love all the tweeters in the CDT lineup. They are not to hard or soft, you dont seem to miss out on any details. As for the midbass? Its not bad on the classics but if you have the money upgrade to the EF's or even better the HD's. The HD's IMO are one of the best bang for your buck on the market.
