I'm actually going with the MB Quart "Q" Series QM 218.61 6.5" Component Set , which retail for $1500 and I'm getting them for $369.00.

SQ is what I'm going for!

I have Boston all the way around and I love them, I too at one point wanted MB Quart's but like a lot of people have said, they were way too bright. But good luck on whatever you decide.
