personally, i preferred the type s components over the type r's when i demoed them side by side a few years ago.. they were one of my top picks for $200-800 price range until i took a gamble on some dayton tweeters and peerless mids... they had an overall smoother sound, where i found the type-r's to be more 'in your face'.. though the tweeters on the type-s were still a little too shrill for me..

in that time, i had also demoed much of jl's component lineup, and had really high hopes for them because i like jl as a company, but i was dissapointed in the midbass output, and the similar tweeter harshness other brands had that i didn't like..

infinity has always seemed to have a good midbass, but has a tweeter that is usually the brightest around.. i haven't really found a car audio company with a tweeter i like yet...
