these or the Polk Audio DB6501?

Depends...I went with All kappa series so the tuning would be similar with all the crossovers etc. Do you have any other speakers in the vehicle?

I have not heard those BIC's, but I have some of their bookshelf versions. I suspect they will compare well against the Klipsch. I do have a pair of these and am pleased with them.

They are both great, but the 315's are better sounding. I have a pair of 535's that sound good, but I use these more often than most all my earbuds. If I am listening through my home system, I use Beyerdynamic's either mt T-70's or my T-90's. Also as with all speakers and headphones there is going to be a break in period. They will sound different in a few weeks than right out of the box.

I use the L820 speakers for everything except the center channel (LC1) and the subwoofer (ES150P) and they are driven by an Onkyo (TX-NR809). They work just fine.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but this is directly from Martin Logan website. (65-25 kHz, 90 dB) I actually matched these up the Polk Audio TL3 Black Center Speaker, works well and matches the color perfectly.

I like them. But, I like them a lot better with a separate subwoofer. I have a theater set up with two sets of these and a Polk subwoofer. I do like my all-Polk system better, but it was also more expensive.

I have always need partial to Klipsch, plenty of stamina to handle the peak outputs when you want to feel the music. For the living room I stay with Polk, great quality throughout the listening range for a pleasant experience. If I already had the JBL's I would look for complementary JBL's to finish the setup. Speaker choice really depends on what you listen to, the acoustics of the room, your budget and how it sounds to you. Find a store that will let you try out different speakers or at least exchange without a fee.

The mm6501 definately sounds better, but if your not amplifying the speakers your better off with the lower end set... No point in spending extra $ on a nice set if your not going to give it the power it needs

I never saw or heard the hm-700, but you can consider the re-400 ear pieces balanced, if colored sound is your concern. They are very lean on the bass, more mid-range focused. When my pair were burned in after about a week of use, they lost all the bass, I couldn't tolerate them, so they were returned. If you want analytic audio gear, you will love these.

i have this amp on all 4 of my polk db6501 and they sound great it will take a little bit of tuning but if you know what your doing it will be easy. my birth sheet also shows that the amp rated 522 watts.

The 6501's were rated best speaker for the money by car audio. Not sure bout the jbl's or how they sound. I'm happy with the 6501. Crystal clear but the mid bass doesn't like a lot of power. Then again, your not spending 400 a pair.

I'm looking at the Polk 50 soundbar now. I believe this is going to be the route I go with. Thanks for the input.

Hi Major Tom. I am probably the wrong guy to answer. I called Klipch directly as I wanted to match the tone, etc of my mains that I have had for close to 20 years. I was leaning toward the rc's as I thought them to be the better speaker. The direction from Klipsch was the C series. I have the C20 center and matched with surrounds. I am quite happy now the I have them dialed in. If it matters, I am using a Marantz 7008. Good luck, JG

I recommend a good heavy duty speaker wire with banana plugs. Search Amazon in speaker wire with banana plug ends. On the sub, I use a Yamaha 10" which is somewhat overkill for the Polk speakers. I've been using juat the two Polk speakers on their own and the bass from these speakers is crazy. I turned off the sub since the bass was too much with both.

Don't understand foss's comment re: junk. What's not to like about deep rich bass and a great midrange. Might like a little more high end. My system replaced my Onkyo 5 speaker surround system and sounds nearly as good but I can relocate the polk where I want.

I replaced a Velodyne which originally sold for $2500 years ago and the Klipsch does an great job in a large living room.I am not familiar with the other brands except Polk which I use for outside speakers.

Probably, yes. Polk's R series are garbage, that's why they are so cheap. Their next model line up, the Monitor series, can often be had at deep discounts from newegg. The Monitor series have a full 1" tweeter, as opposed to the Primus's 3/4" tweeter. Or get the Primus 152 and spend $100-200 on a decent subwoofer if needed for home theater.
