Default Which of these components? [searched]

why does the search engine not allow 3 letter words to be searched for...

looking to spend around 200 +/- 50. i listen to hip hop mostly, some pop, some classical. this would be powered by an amp, probably 150rms (leaning towards alpine pdx)

got it narrowed down so far to...
Alpine SPX 177R
Crystal SSCS-6
CDT CL-61A-25PRO
CDT EF-61FG
CDT EF-61FG/TW25 PRO
Focal 165-V1
MB Quart PCE216


im open to any other suggestions as well. the doors will have sound deadening, but im not quite an audiophile yet, so it will be a simple install.

i know everything is subject to preference, but the nearest cdt dealer is a couple hours away. again, sorry for the pure mass of these threads to those that frequent this board often.

the tweeters dont sound natural. they're kind of harsh but they also lack a lot of detail.
