[QUOTE="LCP, post: 161455, member: 2424"] Auditioning for 5.25" components... not much success so far, especially here in Penang... not many keep stock of anything more expensive than run-of-the-mill stuff, even if they do, it will be a 6.5". I do not intend to go for high end speakers, mid level is good enough... was looking at Morels (no, don't shoot me, I haven't bought any Israeli thing yet)... one shop has Pulse 5.25", but haven't audition yet because I don't intend to buy from that shop (can get smuggled Morels cheaper elsewhere, possibly one grade up Dotech Mk II at same price). All I have done is try to sit in people's car and listen... and surprisingly (remember, my budget criteria is "mid" level) I find Blaupunkt speakers sounding reasonable, heard the ODx series in a Pug 306, surprisingly good considering that the speaker has virtually super thin mounting depth. Also heard Blaupunkt XL series components on an E36, this has dome tweeter, quite bright, but detailed. My other car (Satria) has Nakamichi coaxials all-round, for coaxes they are good. Again, Nakamichi's only component speakers SP-S5200 and SP-S6500 were introduced many years back and the stock (at Cosplus Jln Kelawei) all looked damn aged, not to mention more expensive than the "legal" Morels. Nakamichi also went into bankruptcy a few years back, so no new models. Right now looking at Blaupunkt Velocity series, they have 2 ranges: standard Velocity Vc132/Vc172 and Velocity Competition VPc132/VPc172. The Velocity Competition series is more than twice the price the standard Velocity: was quoted RM1300 for VPc132 versus RM600 for Vc132. What I like about these Velocities is that they have moved into soft dome tweeters (one of my criteria)... Not many speakers out there are on soft dome tweeters... I'm on the brink of "can't take it anymore" (the sound from my current from 4" Infinities)... might settle for the Velocity Vc132 soon... the VPc132 may be a bit too deep to fit into the kick panels...
