I was reading through my December Car Audio & Electronics magazine, and came across a review for the TS-C720PRS 6 3/4" Component set. They received very good marks. The subjective score chart was 80.5 points out a 100. At a price of $550 dollars they are calling them a bargain. The guy reviewing them said that you could spend two to three times as much and not get something better sounding. Those are pretty big claims. I would like to take a listen to them, just to hear what they sound like.

    so you could spend $1000-1500 and still not get something better sounding when the polks received a better score and are only $750...

    I love CA&E mag...

    There are many people who actually do not give too much weight to those reviews as they feel they can be tainted at times. I think it would be interesting to take a listen....

    ive always been impressed with pioneers rev series. They dont get that much attention on the forums but they are solid performers in their range. A lot of ppl have been raving about the new PRS set, but i havent heard them
