I have heard some good things on this BBS about the MB Quarts, but am wondering which models people like. The brochure I have lists 4 series: Q, Referenz Premium, Referenz and Autobahn. In addition, they have "SoundSets", such as the QM 325.21 BMW for 3-series BMWs, which the web page hints are Referenz level (I have a 98 BMW M3)

These different series have basically 3 different crossovers; the Q, Musicomp and Standard.

All of these options are rather confusing to me. When people rave about how good MB Quarts are, do they mean only the Q series, or Quart's in general?

I am still deciding on all of my system, but have settled on a Hifonics Z700 amp (5 channels: 4x50 and 1x200), and am thinking about a referenz premium level, musicomp equipped MB Quart for the front. If the BMW sound set is a referenz premium that is perfect, since it is a three-way component set with 5.5/4/.75. Otherwise I may go with a PSC 213, which has a musicomp crossover and 5.5/1 drivers.

For the rest I am thinking a JL Audio 10" sub with a custom enclosure (the shop I am using likes JL Audios), and the stock Harmon Kardons as rear fill.

Does anyone have any advice on which MB Quarts I should go for?

Thanks,
