This speaker is easily comparable to a magnetic face speaker pair from any Top tier name brand that would retail for 350 dollars per pair and have sound that is just as crisp. I enjoy mostly the extra effort that was put into the crossover range, as the mid frequencies come out in this product quite nicely compared to same priced competitors without the enhanced crossover pieces. It takes a little more watts for the volume, but I would expect that from a piece with the extra pathway for the power, so a touch less efficiency for an overall superior product in this pricing point. Great Job on this SKU CDD!
