Default Amped component choice

I used to run Infinity Kappa 60.5cs in the front off my Kenwood headunit, but a few years back I decided to run my fronts amped. I used the amped rationalization to move into Focal 165v1's, since they seemed to be a little more capable of handling the 125 watts RMS that I am throwing through the front channel now.
Yesterday one of the Focals blew.
So now I have to decide if I want to replace the one bad woofer, or if I want to upgrade the whole component front system.
I thought the focals were decent (once I adjusted the brightness down a little). They didn't go as low as I would have liked, but overall I got 2.5 years of loud music out of them, so I guess I can't complain.

I did contact someone semi-locally that said they could sell me a replacement Focal woofer for $60-$120 depending on the exact need. I look at that and think $60 might be a good price to get right back into the game, but if I were to spend another $120 or so I might be back in the game and sounding even better than before. (At $120 I wouldn't even bother getting the replacement)

I've been eyeing specs on the Polk MM6501 and MM6, but I really am at a loss here.
I need something around the $200 (or less) mark, and it needs handle 125 watts RMS (4 ohms).
Any recomendations?

The CDTs are a good choice.
