mb quart or diamond?

I think I have narrowed it to 2 choices.  My problem is that I cannot listen to both of them side by side.

what are your thougts?

mb quart pce216 6.5 component

diamond m661 6.5 component

Going in a Camaro SS Convert.  Probably going to use Memphis amp.

thanks

Thanks for the input.

Can you elaborate a bit?  Do you own the Diamonds?  Did you listen to both?  Do you have experience with MB?

thanks again,

dave

You're comparing two different price classes of speakers. 

The Diamond Hex series is much more similar to the Quart PCE set.  Have you considered the Hex series?  THAT might be a tough decision.  I compared the PCE set with the Hex set and thought they both had great sound quality.  One of the main reasons I picked the PCE is because of the coax mount feature. 

I think the Quart will give you better sound.  Is the increase in price worth it?  That is up to your ears to decide.  Have you heard them independently, what were your impressions?

MB 216 - $289

Diamond M661 - $220

Diamond Hex  - $329

I have not listened to them side by side.  I have not heard the Hex's at all.  Also, it is tough to tell when they are in a show room.  My 3rd choice, no one else likes at all, JL Audio Components XR650-CSi.  My guess is that I won't go wrong with any of them.  I just wanted to hear others opinions.

No, not retail.  Almost double for retail.  I'm buying some things local and some Internet.

Yea, taking the same CD in to each store, variety of music that I listen to.

Gonna listen to the MB's one more time, then make a decision.  There are too many choices out there.  Too easy to over analyze this stuff.

Looks like you went with the 216's and rest is pretty top stuff.  So, I'm sure I can't go wrong w/them.

krf01 - you think 75w is right power for them?  Looking at Alpine 540 amp, to power 1 set of 216's then bridged to run JL 12w3 D2.

thanks, been a big help!
