Would i be satisfied with MB Quart DSE 216 running on the Alpine MRV-T320? If not what is another set of MBs or anything that would sound great. I dont want to spend a TON cause im planning on adding another aluminum Eclipse 15 too but any suggestions are great.thanks

I say go listen to them first. MBQ, Focal, Diamond, Boston... there are a lot of mid-priced component sets and you should buy the ones you think sound the best. Be sure to compare using the same sound source.

Try to listen to the RCE and PCE components and see if you can justify the increased quality. I personally would rather spend more money on the top 19920hz before buying another sub, but that's just me. I haven't had a chance to listen to the DSEs, but compared the RCE, PCE, and QSD 6.5s at my dealer this past Friday. I simply didn't have the budget for the QSDs.

I went for the PCE's over the RCE's because I felt like the bass was a little tighter and more separated from the mid vocals and the highs just a little less harsh. I don't know from personal experience, but I'm guesing the same sort of differences are present between the DSE's and RCEs.

Kfr01 is definitely right on about the bass response on the PCE's vs the RCE's. The plus with the PCE's over the Discus and the Reference is the fact that the cones on the midbass have a titanium powder coat which helps with unwanted cone resonance. The other huge plus is the fact that they have 1" tweeters vs the References 3/4" and the Discus 1/2". I would strongly suggest the PCE's if they are in your budget range.

There is a great set of components out there by Adire Audio, called Koda 6.1 that will run you $350. Great sound.

PCE216 is the correct model # for the premium components ( I use these)

RCE216 is the Reference components

DSE216 is the Discus components
