Polkaudio DB 6501 ...............(200 DLS)
Hertz Dieci ESK 165 .............(150 DLS)

    With no amp I would buy the most efficient set.

    thanks guys

    i would like to have polk audio on my local best buy, but they dont sell it here.

    and "ampliaudio" (mexiacans polkaudio´s dealer) dont sell them at a competitive price, if not, that would make polk so popular over here.

    all the people who listen to my SRs comps and SR Sub get so amazed about polks quality, polk rocks

    Polk Audio makes phenomanal speakers don't get me wrong but...IMO I don't think they're speakers really shine until you start to get towards the hi-end of the things i.e. the SR's. But that's just my .02 though. I've only heard of Focal and Hertz never had the pleasure of hearing them. I dunno bout the Hertz but on paper all the Focals seem like they don't have very good midrange. I could be wrong though it wouldn't be a first :)

    I recently found here (local ebay) a set of used Polks MM6510 (the old old ones) in 90 DLS

    do you think those worth it? (are used, but low price)

    and where can i find the specs of that comps?
