Crystal CPE60s 6.5" Comp for $70

or

New Diamond Audio D6 D661A 6.5" Component Speaker M651 for $180

I know that most will say Dimonds but the question is are they worth the extra $110

amp hifonics zx8000

4 x 50 Watts + 1 x 200 Watts @ 4 Ohms for $200

orion 500.5 (Cobalt) (not sure of price friend of a friend)

Which speakers sound BEST to YOU? Who cares what other people think of how speakers sound. You are buying them so you can lsiten to them, you better like them.

Amps you listed, all in about the same class, I'd go with which ever one has a better cross over.

Good point, however I can't find a shop around my area who caries Frystal or Diamond speakers.

Crystal doesn't make a bad speaker...I had a set of the CSC60S's and they were pretty darn nice...if you're only going to be putting 50watts to each of them then I would say the Crystals should do just fine...IMO

I agree with getting whatever sounds best to you, try them both and see if the extra money is worth it. I can recommend Diamond from personal experience though, great stuff and the warrenties on them from a shop are hard to beat, 3 years I beleive if you have them installed. I generally do most of the install and have them just do the actual speaker hookups and they still give me the full warrenty for next to nothing extra in install fees at my local shop.

Thanks for all the replies.

The thing is I don't have a shop where I can hear them both so I'm kind of asking for opinions to make my decision.

Also the $100+ difference is steep and somehow I don't think is proportional with the performance.
