this was my first choice based on the large magnet and highest wattage but idk if that will actually affect the quality.

It looks to me like your gf's birthday is the same as my dad's, but that's for another day and stoned rice (ignore that).
Um, I can't really help as I don't know much about the speakers, but I wonder why pro audio speakers? |

None of your reasons for choosing these particular speakers has any specific relevance to sound quality. |

Andrew- do u plan on doing some DJ jobs? These speakers will all go loud, and fill a large area with noise, but thats about it. Do u want something for your home? |

eh they just seemed cheap and good i really dont kno anything about home audio as this is my first system being put together. which is why im lookin for advice  i would get a home theater but i really dont watch many movies and didnt know how well the set up would work for my type of music. i was thinkin about getting the mtx 12's tho i listened to them at abc warehouse and they sounded pretty decent do you guys figure those would be the best for under 300?} |

Sounds like you want the MTX 12's. So why do you need our permission? It's your cash. If we tell you not to, will you anyway? |

Look at all those tweeters on the Gem Stone TR 150's. They must sound good. And they're cheap.

Andrew,
It's best you check out a few stores and listen to a few speakers yourself. Only you know what you would like when you hear it. You'll find a few choices under $300. They will sound different, bring your music. |

Pro audio is not the way to go for a theater/music. It may seem like that but they are crap. |

The very first speakers I ever bought for myself back in the early 80's were a pair of giant Gemini three-ways; they were BIG, played loud, sounded like crap. |

Hopefully you paid the guy in the white van or the new version of them on eBay less than $50.
They're one of the White Van Speaker companies. Do a google search of "The White Van Speaker Scam" if you haven't heard of it. They're not just hitting the road in vans anymore.
Next time you buy something, do a little research first. There is a legit DaVinci company, but they only make turntables and needles. |

The "Podium" and "Acoustic" speakers are a scam too. Same garbage. If you haven't gotten them yet, and/or can return them, send them back. Speaking from personal experience, they're awful. |

i didnt get the reciver yet so good looking on that. i was going to wait and see how the speakers sound on my current reciever before spending anymore money. and the speakers were 170 and i can return them but it would cost me probally 60 to do so i bought them based on thier reviews from other buyers who got the speakers but thats not saying a whole lot. anyways i will have them in a week and im buyin the mtx 12s also goin to play them next to eachother and see which one i like lol |
