I am going to replace my polks and was thinking of using MB Quart speakers. Here are the model's I was thinking of getting DSD-216 or RSC-216. I don't know much about MB Quart and was looking for feedback on these. I will be using a alpine amp pushing them at about 60watts. Are these any good? How do they sound? Also if you know of another brand that is cheap let me know.
I would go with the RSC 216 over the DSD 216 Mb Quart is one of the top names when it comes to speakers. The mids highs on them are extremely loud clean and crisp. They do however lack when it comes to the low end bass. My suggestion to you is go to a local store that caries MB Quart and listen to them and then their competitors and see what sounds best to you. But MB Quart is defiantly worth the money.

Above you can compare the two as you can see they are completely different. They operate at different frequencies and use different components If you have the extra money I would look @ the QM 218.61Q series they go for about 300 on eBay But once again be sure to listen too all your options and choose the set you like best.

that is a link to some reviews on MB QUART speakers, different models and different specs...I found it interesting and helpful.
I STRONGLY SUG. THAT YOU GO WITH MB QUARTS THE ARE THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO MIDS/HIGHS AND IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT SOUND I SUGGEST YOU GO WITH THE RSC IT MIGHT COST A LITTLE MORE BUT WELL WORTH IT GOOD LUCK

If you are willing to spend $230, i would go a step above the rsc and the the psd. I bought mine on ebay for 230 shipped and the rsc's are only like $20 less, so i would just go with the psd-216's
