B&T, you relish reminding me that I am NOT from the "current" generation na? ;-)

Just curious , are there any sub 10 k,(sub 8k ish if possible) compos with a laid back sound ? (preferably textile dome tweeters)
Textile dome really isnt an issue, but most budget metal tweeters(at least the ones I've heard, both car and home audio) tend to make their music sound crisp, while I'd rather have it smooth.

I've heard that that the hertz sound quite nice. any idea about their prices / model numbers

Hertz DSK165 (Dieci line): around 6K
Hertz ESK165 (Energy line): around 9/10K

Thank you. You have no idea how much that makes me happy!
Please Could you post an approximate price of the DCX 690(the Dieci series coax 6x9), and I'll be just a pio 3050/4050 UB short of my dream system

No idea, am guessing that they should cost as much as the 6.5" components...you can PM Gunbir/ Autophile for more details.

1. Maybe the 9881/9883
2. Blau THc, GTO JBL 607c, Hertz Deici, Illusion Electra
3. The Blau THx 693 is good

Sir,

(preferably textile dome tweeters)
Textile dome really isnt an issue, but most budget metal tweeters(at least the ones I've heard, both car and home audio) tend to make their music sound crisp, while I'd rather have it smooth.

Interesting observation;

Good you got it up.
Just wanted to know, if it could be the HU or the Amplifier that makes Metal Domes a 'bit crisper'

IMHO & in a few listening sessions / audition, I have observed that it also has a lt to do with the genre of music player.
Generally, Trance + Hip Hop + Rock [Heavy] play 'better' through Metal Domes & Vocal + Indian / Western Classical + Jazz etc. seem to sound a bit more 'laid' back with 'textile / silk dome' tweeters.

Were/are the Illusion Electra EX component systems available? The Illusion Audio site mentions this model

One budget dome tweeter (home audio) that was not too bright and even easy to XO was the Vifa D25AG35. Google it and you will find many high end speakers used it.

PM B&T. He represents Illusion.

Shallow version of EL. Not in production. Neither is the Euro, which is UniQ based.

[shuvc]

Illusion Luccent 6.1 and Electra 6.1
B&T and others who may have listened to both - how would you describe the sound from these sets relative to each other?

[greenhorn]

Hertz was suggested earlier , but just came across the fact that the blau THc's also use mylar tweeters. How do the Blaupunkt THc's compare with Hertz DSK's ?

[nitrous]

@shuvc: I believe the Luccent are not available in India anymore.
