Default Trying to pick components

Looking at components. Considering MB Quart QM216's, CDT HD-642's, and Focal 165K2's. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Money is a little more of an issue for the Focal's. Thanks for you help

I'm a big fan of MB Quarts. What are you going to power them with?

I know these are unproven amps but I'm willing to take a chance on them given their size, advertised performance, and the fact that heck, someone has to do it. I think that gives me plenty of headroom also to keep the gains low and the SQ high. Also using an Eclipse 8051 HU

I've used them already for a while and had no problems. What happened with theirs?
