Default Component decision * MB Quart vs Pioneer

I've been out the car audio game for awhile and was looking to get some advice on which ones to pick out of the following. I was headed towards getting the MB Quart, but a friend of mine who works at an audio shop highly recommended these Pioneers..

I am providing links for each and hopefully some of you can take a few seconds and give me your recommendation.

Any help is appreciated.

Depends on what sound you prefer. The MBQuarts are going to be brighter, and the Pioneers are a bit warmer. My preference for a warmer sound would push me toward the Pioneers.

Difference between warmer and brighter. Forgive me, I am not in tune with audio sound. Thanks.

That's ok......I'll do my best to paint a picture for you.....

MB Quarts use a titanium tweeter, metal can sound very harsh in the upper range especially at higher volumes, but it is extremely clean and crisp.

Pioneers use a fabric tweeter which won't be as harsh at high volumes, but may give up a little in the crispness - which may be a preferred sound quality.....a little more realistic (my opinion).

The harshness of metal tweeters hurts my ears at high volumes, so I prefer fabric tweeters. My Diamond Audio components give a choice of aluminum or silk tweeters, so I obviously chose the silk.

The type of music you listen to can also help make your decision between the two. If you are more Hip-Hop, R&B and the like, then the Pioneer. If you are rock, classical, etc, then the MB Quart. IMO.
