Default Infinity Perfect or Focal?

Getting a pair of front speakers... looking at Infinity Perfect 6.1 and Focal 165K or 165V slim(or V2?) now, any suggestions?
I heard that the Infinity's bass isn't that good?

Have you looked into Boston Acoustics? They are WELL worth the money. I have the Rally crossovers and they are amazing when connected to an amp. They can handle up to 275 watts.

I just want to know the difference between V and K series... are Ks really worth that much more?

Boston Acoustics RC620 here I just installed these a week ago and I love them!! I think msrp is 300 for two midwoofers, two tweeters, and two x-over boxes.

krnlikewh0a,

Did you installed an aftermarket head unit? plus did you get rear speakers?

No, i did not install a head unit or amp, and i can still tell that there is a significant difference in sound. When I turn the volume up in the 20 range, it does not get distorted whatsoever. I also did not change my rear speakers. I have heard that changing the rear speakers gives you minimal results and distorts the sound a little. Just for reference, the BA's recommended wattage is 275, and my dinky stock HU is pushing probably like 20 if even that right now. Think of the potential!!!

How about a pair of Rainbow Reference Series for a mere $6000? Go with Focal 165K2....they are amazing.
