Default 17cm components - Alpine or Phase Linear?

Try www.avisound.com, (crap site but great speakers) available from
www.techdistributionltd.co.uk or www.audioimages.co.uk at the least.

I've got some of the 'EL' series and they are absolutely superb. Crystal
clear. Canadian hand made and they're not particualrly dear, unless you want
the top of the range with massive 30mm tweeter. Think mine were about £200

I wouldn't overly worry about using too much power, its distortion which is
the killer. I used to power some 80w RMS JBL Centurys (5.25" coaxials) with
160w RMS bridged power off a 4 channel Alpine MRVf405, sounded ace (but not
a patch on the AVI's).

om...
My 1995 Audi S6 has tiny 10cm components that I want to replace with
17cm components..

I realise that I'll have to build door mounts for them and I've
already lined the doors with dynamat.

I'm leaning towards the Phase Linear PC165.20 speakers, but can find
no reviews or information on the web at all about them. - I have Phase
Linear amps, so I would hope that they would sound good together.

I found a review of the alpine SPR-176A speakers on a US website -
they would compliment my alpine head unit, but I'm a little worried
about their power handling, at 50W RMS, thats less than the 75W that
my Phase Linear PC220 amp puts out - is this going to be a problem?

Any input would be most gratefully recieved.

Cheers..
