PLEASE, be aware that you get what you pay for. In this case, it's a distributer making a good profit on a cheap comp set.

I have personal experience with this series, and they are very disapointing. If Fisher Price built comp sets, this is what they'd look like.

I don't normally trash product like this, but sometimes a guy has got to take a stand against the crap.

Yes they do Seahag, very nice drivers used in some very nice high end home audio speakers.

I'm not knocking Peerless as a company, just these specific drivers.

Would you use a midrange with a plastic basket?

^ My Canton RS6 set has plastic frames for both the 4" mid and the 10" sub. I have no issues with their sound [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

I held the driver in my hand, I could flex the frame with my fingers.

Composite is good, plastic (think ABS) is bad IMO.

It took all of a few minutes listening for the owner to frown and send them back.

I guess I should have said that in the first place instead of tearing into how they were built.
