Anyone have these speaks as replacements? Happy? Buy them again?

Looking to use them in the 5er, just wanted to "hear" some opinions.

I listened to some JL VRs before I bought my Quarts. I didn't like them. They're sound was certainly not commensurate to their price--they were very midrange-y, very muddy sounding.

Listen to them yourself and see what you think. However, there are better speakers out there for the price.

What about the XRs or ZRs? I listened to the XRs but couldn't really compare to anything else, I was in a small local shops sound area.

^^I'd like to know about the XR as well. I'm about to buy a 5.25 set on ebay.

Ive heard them, i didnt like the VR's, i didnt like the XR's. Way too dull IMO. hard to explain but you would just have to take a listen for yourself. I would look into CDT, OZ, image dynamics, DLS, morel (israel), adire audio, RE components are suppose to be great as well.

Thanks for your input guys. Muddy or dull is exactly what I was trying to avoid. I am wishing for something crisp for stock replacements. My initial first choice was MB's, sounds like this would be a better choice.

My brother has Vr's all around and with any sort of equalizer, they will sound bad ass. There great and the tweeters are extremely powerful. I would recommend XR's to anybody with any system!
