I'm going to spend $700 though (had nothing that high on display) maybe it changes as you get higher?
The DLS's didn't have enough mid for me, the Focals a bit to much overshadowing the vocals to much for my liking, but the CDT's were spot on, again this was in the $400 range.
Been looking around is CDT going under or something? Several sites and stores are clearing out CDT stock.

I have CDT top of the line ES. Excellent set, but a bit mellow in the upper midrange and midbass is strong. Tweeters are soft dome, but in no way mellow, they are pretty bright for a soft dome. I really had to work on them to tone them down on a bright HU Alpine matched with a bright Steg amp.
The other day at the SQ comp, I heard a car with Hertz MLK165's in the front, High Energies in the rear, and Mille 2x10" subs sealed. The cabin speakers were ran on the new model Audison Lrx and the subs were on Audison Vrx Chrome Edition big mono. The car sounded incredible.
Components need no introduction, as everyone seems to love them. I was especially surprised with the subs. They have a very good SQ sound to them similar sonic signature as DLS Nobeliums and Aurasounds and boy did they still pound on the Vrx amp. I have not heard the v4 Mags yet, but I am hoping the Mags are similar in sonic signature to these three subs, as I have not heard more musical subs than these three and they are currently my top three subs in SQ category with some cojones with Aurasound being the least loud of three. I also heard a Morel Ultimo sub, and was very impressed, but I wish I had listened to it longer to form an opinion, but it seems to be on the same level.
