Hey Radar, can you speak on the performance/sound of the component speakers? IE: they sound like, BSW, Alpine, etc...
I really have no idea what I am doing
Frogs...I'm afraid that's a question that can't be answered honestly, by anyone. Let me explain.
I can take speaker A and install it slightly different in two cars and get two completely different sounds from it. And what sounds "bright" to me might sound "mellow" to you. VERY subjective.
I can say this, though. Mass-produced speakers (what I call mid-fi - Sony, JVC, Kenwood, Clarion, Pioneer, lower lines of Boston, Alpine, etc.) are produced to make money in much larger ratios than smaller "esoteric" brand speakers. In other words, you get more value from the lesser-known brands. Here's an analogy, although maybe not a good one: if you ask someone what a good quality brand of bicycle is, they might say SCHWINN. If you,ask them what an OK band is, they might say HUFFY. Both SCHWINN and HUFFY make mass-produced bikes, with SCHWINN being the better brand, lets say. SCHWINN bikes are proportionately higher priced and proportionately better, but HUFFY bikes are proportionately cheaper and proportionately crappier. Both companies work off of a 65% profit margin relative to their pricing. NOW, ask someone who REALLY knows about bikes and they may answer TREK, or CANNONDALE. These companies operate on a smaller scale, make much better bikes, and only look for a 30% profit margin. So if you can afford it, you would want the CANNONDALE or TREK, right? Same thing with speakers, believe it or not.
I think, personally, that if you have pretty good amounts of amplifier power (100+ watts per channel for the fronts/mains), then you will be AMAZED by the RM6.2 by DLS. They are a little power-hungry, that's the down-side.
This is a system that should cost SO MUCH MORE, but doesn't! Killer mid-bass punch, mellow and smooth top end, high quality construction from Sweden; Germany, Sweden, and Denmark are where some of the best sounding speakers (not subwoofers) are produced.
Hope that helps.
