Default New 6x9's...Pioneer or Boston?

Im looking at these 2 6x9's and was wondering which would sound better?

Pioneer Premier

Boston

The Bostons are only $10 more, but Ive heard the Pioneer Premier line is really good too.

I've never been an audiophile but I remember hearing nothing but good things about Boston Acoustics 7 years ago.

Different wattage, different response, one's 2-way the other 3-way... maybe someone can interpret these?

Boston. Their specs are usually accurate, Pioneer's (and Sony's) are usually a bit exaggerated. As far as the range, I doubt the Pioneer's go down to 31 Hz and human hearing only goes to 20kHz, so going to 29kHz is meaningless.

I don't know why but I've always liked Pioneer. I've had my eye on these for awhile.

Go to millionbuy.com and get some MB Quart 6x9's.

I just installed their Formula FTA169's in the Tib (along with some Onyx 6-1/2's and a Discus DSC450 amp, all MB Quart) and they're great.

From you choices, I've had good experience from Pioneer Premiere.

Oddly enough, one of the best speakers I've heard was a cheap set of 6.5's by Phase Linear! They are an offshoot of Jensen. On clearance for 19 bucks a pair at car toys a couple years ago. If I'da known how good they were going to sound, I would have bought all of them and replaced all my Audiobahns with them!!! LOL!

If I had MY choice, I've always loved the sound of Polk Audio. They make some really nice high quality speakers that wont break the bank.

Maxxsonics, but yeah that's what you meant. smile.gif

I also have some Polk Audio speakers in the Accent, and am happy with them.
