DLS Iridium 8.3 comps, CDT ES-643, Focal 165VR3

[miked56 0]

Well, it looks like I got screwed on eBay on my speaker purchase so I'm in the market for speakers, AGAIN.

What do you all think about the items listed above? I can get all for about the same price, 450-500, new.

Help please

Thanking you in advance

Mike

What are you amping them with? And do you have speaker locations picked out yet?

I love the DLS Iridium line of speakers Very smooth sound... my favorite set in a car to date was the 6.3 set I had in my BMW (when I had it). Only thing it lacked, to me, was strong midbass -- which the 8.3 set should have

I'm amping them with zapco DC 360.4 and 350.2.

I'd like to install them in a custom made kick and in modified A pillars of a 1986 MB 560SL

how many forums are you posting the exact same thread in?

Who cares? At least he's not double posting here.

Maybe he just needs to get answers from different types of people.

Yes I've posted to several. I assume, maybe wrongly, that the best way to get a good cross section of opinions would be to post to several forums because of the diversity of people viewing. If most forums have the same people on them then I'm sorry, new to the audio sound forum space, and will try and remove some posts.

I guess it would also help me figure out which forums have active members that respond and thus are worth staying with.

Only hear the Focals but I'll say DLS anyway

I'll agree with Jacob on the smoothness of the DLS tweets. The Focal gear is also very nice. CDT tweets are a little harsh for me, but you might find them appealing.

On a purchase this expensive, it would probably worth wile to find a dealer and set up a listening interview. I would highly recommend this.

I wish I could. Unfortunately the closest dealer for DLS and/or CDT, different dealers, is in NJ (3-4 hours away)

And since I can't compare side by side I'm not sure it's worth the drive there and back.

Thanks all for your input. I bought the DLS system.
