Need Opinion on Good 6.5 Speakers - Cerwin Vega / Audiobahn

Anyone here have any experience with MA Audio Speakers? How good are they? I’ve looked around for a little and they seems pretty decent in price and feature. Any opinion weather I should go with the HK65 or MA6529? Please let me know if there are better 6.5 and mid power amp? I’m trying to build something nice and on a low budget of $200-$250.

HK65
OR
MA6529

AND
HK-298 400 Watt

Thanks.





EDIT

How about this setup?

Cerwin-Vega XL-300.2 Amp
AND

Audiobahn ABC600T 6-1/2" Component System
OR
Cerwin-Vega V-MAG 6502 6-1/2" Component System

I apparently didnt get it.

Theres no inside joke. Rainbow is a highend speaker company based in Germany with speakers ranging from the $100ish range (entry level coaxials) to the $10,000 range.

Yes I can. Off the top of my head the CAL26s would be in the $300 range and the CAL28s in the mid $500 range.

Have you heard the cal28's? If so what do you think?

Do the silk tweets (cal26) sound alot better than the titan tweets?

How much clean power (rms) can these tweeters handle?

How about the choice of the items below? I like the Amp, but am debating between the Components. I am leaning toward the Audiobahn b/c it have more base, but the Cerwin have better frequency response. I have no plans for a subwoofer. These will still keep me in my budget. Any experience/feedback is welcome

Audiobahn ABC600T 6-1/2" Component System

How much are you going to pay for those? I would be willing to bet you could get better equipment at around that same price. CV has been around forever, I still haven't owned a single product for car audio. As far as Audiobahn, I personally have seen sub surrounds tear and VC's fail too many times to give you a push in that direction. Keep looking. Or just call Don. I have kicked myself for not doing it earlier. JMO.
