Morel dotech ovation vs hybrid ovation II's

I'm stuck between Morel's dotech ovation and hybrid ovation II's. I have no way of listening to either to base my opinion (no retailer to hear them myself), and want others consideration. Is the price jump up from the dotech's to the hybrid ovation II's worth it?

Speakers will be powered by a hifonics ZXi 6408 (340 watts x 2, Bridged @ 4 ohms)

I'm not interested in other brands, just responses from those who have heard/compared both.

Morel IMO is for Jazz or classical music. Ive build Ovation in 0.3 qf sealed box, and it played very easily down to 50Hz with no distortion.

Both are incredible sets of speakers, you can't miss on either one of them. I have one of the two sets in stock right now for that matter, just sold the other.

I bought a set of hybrid ovation I from MR2NR, and I love them. Best sounding speaker I've owned/heard; I just need a bit more power to them. I've never heard the Dotech Ovations, but with the $150 price difference (comparing some online prices) I would get the Hybrids. Its a bit of an upgrade all around.
However, I suggest getting the Hybrid Ovation I's; Better crossover and woofer.

I had the Hybrid Ovations back in the day and they were and still are the most natural sounding speaker Ive listened to, and I have had Focal and Kef Kar, for high end gear, the Kefs came close, but the Morels are just top notch!

Even though I don't have Morels right now, I still think they were the best sounding speakers I've had to date...as far as your choices...get the best you can afford. You can't go wrong with Morels either way!
