Looking at throwing some tweeters on today. Was looking for the Infinity Kappa 10.9Ts but talked to a guy in Modesto CA that has Boston Acoustics Neo Type-M SE (retail is 249.99) for less than half the price. I know nothing of speakers and was curious if these are better tweeters then the Kappas??

Of course the guy at the audio shop said the BAs blow the Inifinitys out of the water. He also said he carried the Inifinitys but just didn't have them in stock.

Anyone that can chime in with some advice would be much appreciated. Leaving within the next hour to go look at them.

I will eventually swap out the stock for j&ms but right I'm going to add tweeters. Off to see what kind of deal I can get on these. May just stay with the infinity for the better range

I didn't think (high end ) was the problem with the stock speakers. I thought it was the LOW end people wanted improved..? Instead o adding tweeters to only rip into the speaker assembly again, why not just purchase an all together Better Full range speaker??

Well got my answer for the Bostons. The impedence on them is 8. Going to scrap this plan and just go with different speakers.
