Please don't post in all caps, and please use punctuation. Reading the forum rules might be a good idea.

I personally prefer the Alpine PDX to the JL Audio amps for mains. For subs those have no discernible difference.

PDX, baby! I have 2200 watts of the stuff in my trunk. I will tell you right now, though... You WON'T like the Focals with the revealing nature of the PDX amps. (I don't like the Focals ANYWAYS, but they will be B-R-I-G-H-T on those amps.) The Focals have a very brash character to start with, (metal domes, and all...) and I'm not a fan of the metal domes, from ANY manufacturer. The Focal products are FAR more expensive than they are worth.

(Just since you were asking for opinions... Focals? Beauties? Not in my book.)

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I agree, Focal tweeters are bright and kind of annoying after about 10 minutes of listening. I also took a listen the Hex Series from Diamond audio much smoother with silk dome tweeter.

Oyeah, i meant cosmetically beautiful.

The Morels would be a better choice in my opine! I am a Morel fan from WAY back. The CDTs DO have some nice products, but from what I have heard they are far more critical of placement. This leads me to believe that the crossovers are really shallow slopes, or not necessarily perfectly integrated... Translation: cheap-ish. This is just me. If you were to go with a full active system, the CDTs are very nice, indeed.

Zapco is a FANTASTIC product. I love that stuff, too. Expendy, but worth it. For slightly less money, the new Alpine PDX amps are also beautiful products. HUGE power in small efficient boxes.

Which series from Morel? Hopefully they sound better than MBQ's sq amps pdx/jl hd/ jl slash v2 series -- posted image.
