Ok, so right now I have an older set of MbQaurt Q series components, they are fairly old, used a bit, but sound good and only paid $175. I think the model was somthing like MB Quart QM 218.03 CX but not 100% sure. But right now there is a guy selling a set of Focal Polykelar 165K for $300 new in box.

Any recomendations? I've listened to my quarts only a handful of times and I think they sound pretty good... but I've never had the chance to listen to this type of focal but heard many many good things about them.

And the thing is I know I can sell off my quarts for the same price I paid, so basically for another $125 I'd have a new set of focals.


What do you guys think? Whats everyones experiences with each type?

 

Nobody?

 

Agreed. It is purely subjective.
Personally I found the QM160's that I just took out of my car to be a bit harsh (the tweets anyway) and my new Kickers sound amazing now. I have listened to many sets of the Polykevs and they are very nice sounding IMO. Warm yet crisp enough to bring a smile to yer face.

 

Well problem is they are new in box, meaning he hasn't ever installed them before so a demo might not be avaliable. I think he might have another set in his car but I'll have to ask him.

And with my quarts I run into the problem I've never installed them either! Had listened to them in a couple test boxes for awhile and thats about it. So I really don't know how they sound either.

Sooooo... it's tough to tell which I would prefer given the fact I can't really hear either. But I'm kindof leaning towards the focal simply because I'm not a fan of absolutly intense tweeters, I don't mind them but I do remember back when I had a OZ component set with the silk tweeters I prefered the highs over these MbQuarts, only problem is the set of OZ I had couldn't handle much power and I wanted to step up to somthing that could put out a little more... and came across the Quarts.


Sooooo... don't know what i'll do.

 

Hey tom, I acually sold you the quarts you have now.

They were nice sounding, I prefeer the sound of soft dome (or silk dome tweeters though)

If you want smooth I would recomend any brand of good quality with soft dome tweeters, ask jeepbeats about the crystal speakers, I looked at them and they look great(neaver heard them though) and a very nice price too.

I have heard the utopia and Q's and both seem bright. very nice mind you just not my taste.

 

go with the focal, poly glass series are sweet speakers
