I'd stick with CDT.  What amp are you powering the components with?  That might help in your decision.That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Uh no whoever said 'CDT's lack midbass' is a bad-installer, deaf, or both. In fact, one of the most outstanding features of CDT's is the warm, generous helpings of midrange they dole out... a very *thick* midrange seriously. Generally, the stock tweeter setting on the xover (at least, the 3 different CDT passive xovers I've had a chance to play with) is, quite opposite from the shrill Alpine or Quart speaker, often almost underwhelming at first... adding just the slightest velvety touch of top end to the sound... not that aggressive, mass-marketed 'hot' sound your probably more used to. In case you're wondering my CDT's are installed against closed cell weather stripping and a 1/2" MDF baffle bolted to the frame. That is to say... 'done right.' Flat out warmest midbasses I've *ever* used..."I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview
