They supposed to be really good especially for sound q. Also keep hearing good things about them. I also think there is a dealer for CDT if i am not mistaken.

There's a lot of good information on the site. I don't know if the results they obtained is due to product or install.

Sorry about not getting back to you with that, this was quite hectic after just returning from CES.

~snyper~ would be able to give you a demo for any of the model you want that is currently available at this moment. Again sorry for the inconvenience.

Coming soon is the Eurosports and the HD series.

Other than that anyone????

i'm using a pair of the coaxials for rear fill....... imo u can't get a better pair of coaxials for that price. Its cleann and produces alot of midbass. i'm using a pair of dls c6 comps in front... the cdt gets louder with the same power. No distortion and it'll hit every note from 50hz.

I must say.. I auditioned the CDT's in my car... and have the following comments to date. I will post a complete review a bit later in the week ...

I am referring to the Classic series of products.... namely:

CL-62
CL-6EX

Wha bout dem ting?
The CDT's performance is one of the best I have heard given the products that are available (on the market) in the same price range and $ vs power option...

Dey bess?
The construction of the units display some method of hand craftsmanship. (Personally.. this is a good thing)
In this series, you get a soft silk dome tweeter which is coupled with a 6" mid bass driver. In both the component and the coaxial system, the 6" driver is the same.
The component set has tweeter level attenuation, protection features. There is also an extra pair of outputs to connect a set of CDT Imaging Tweeters
The two systems are rated (avg) 90 watts rms... yeah thaas right ... RMS

ok...enough of describing dem ting....How do they sound?
Bess .... performance is well kept for such a set... excellent mid-bass and adequate mid to high mids.....
....the tweeter a bit stinging...this is what I noticed at first glance... however... I assume that as i tweak along.. and more importantly...tweak the preamp (since ah do ah fass ting dey nah) .. I can make it sound alot better-eR

The flaw?
Dat damn red colour they does use for the basket.... thankfully the grills hide that red colour!!!!

i am in the process of testing the CL62 model of the CDT.

no processing, on a bridged powersource (aprox 110 x 2), crossed on a 12db/octave higpass crossover @ 60hz. woofer mounted in the door, tweeter in the A pillar

PHYSICAL:
firstly the system is neatly packaged. however on initial inspection i thought the build quality could have been better. the tweeter housings and mounting options are below my expectations for a name that carries a high rep. same for the mounting ring for the woofer. the passive is simple and decently constructed. again i do not like the quality of the plastic used.

the woofer on the other hand is well built. comes with butyl surround which facilitates low responses. nice magnet size. nice polished cone.

SOUND:
The silk tweets are a bit bright. Very alive. very directional. plays upper octaves (10k +) very well.

the woofer is the linchpin of this system. nice midbass response. decent vocals. i thought that the woofer could have been a bit brighter since the vocals are bit airy, hollow,and spacious. handles power nicely.

CONCLUSION:
Keeping in mind that this is a budget system, it is a good choice. just make sure you have adequate power.

Thanks for the honest comments guys, Roger did make a very good point regarding the power required to drive them. In my experience especially in the case of good quality midrange speakers its good to have enough power to push them. When this is done you can really appreciate the performance.

Sounds like I will not like these, especially with descriptions of bright tweeters and the need for tweeking.

DE AUDIO · Postby **DE AUDIO** » January 15th, 2007, 11:42 am

every person might have a different judgment on them based on personal preferences of what they like in a speaker. Also take into consideration the prices which is definately cheaper than most of the stuff available on the market today.

Take a listen and tell us what you think. For a demo you can arrange with ~snyper~ as I am out of the country at this point in time.

I would be pleased to know what you think.
