well all the good word the Crystals are getting I might go w/ them ...$80 is pretty damn cheep too. Only thing that is worrying me is that the Crystals are rated at 100 Peak. Thats not very high, I wonder what the RMS is. If I buy the Panasonic MXE CQ-C9800U will it blow or distort the crystals????
Don't get all caught up in a speaker's power handling figures. If you hear distortion, you're pushing the speaker beyond its safe limits and need to turn it down.
Ya i know, but if I plan on buying that beast HU (panasonic) I want speakers that will be able to handle ALL the power and not distort or blow. Wondering if the Crystals will handle it. On the other hand i dont want speakers with a rediculously high RMS and Max rating which will not be optimized by the power of the panasonic.
Basically I'm looking for a great sounding set of 4 5x7/6x8's w/ silk tweeter that will be optimized by the panasonic HU. speaker price range per pair = $150 or >
Eh... Do what you want. If spending another $140 for no/minimal gains in performance makes you happy, go for for it.
It seems you're more caught up in specifications than just buying quality, good-sounding equipment. I could easily fry some aftermarket speakers with a simple 25w by cranking gains, upping EQ's, turning on the bass boost/loud, and running some test tones. Does that mean the speakers have been "optimized"?
BTW, the Polks are nice speaks too. They're just overpriced, especially anything labeled Polk/MOMO.
