> Ive found metallic tweeters to be more harsh on my ears then the silk’s imho

a lot of people say that about my setup. im going to pick up my friends pda and tune them down a couple of notches. though, in general i prefer titanium or aluminum. ceramic isnt bad, theyre kinda almost metallic sounding, but silk seems the mildest to me.

I prefer silk dome tweeters myself in passive crossover systems. Elaborate actively crossed over and equalized systems can run anything.

Always remember there is no more critical part of your system than the speakers themselves.

It is also important to know what your ultimate system will be. There is no need for Focal components if you have a spark-o-matic deck, with a discman and a tape adapter.

Conversely you don’t need Audison HR100’s running your factory speakers.

There is a reason why it is called a system, it all needs to work together.

I also would not buy anything before I listened to it in a proper setting.

Figure out what you want to end up with before you buy anything.

Quality speakers and amps should move with you from car to car for years.
