How do these speakers compare with Definitive XTR 50s?

I don't know how the ML Motions compare with the Definitive XTR's. However, I can tell you that the ML Motions are awesome. My home theater is in a very large room - 20'x30' with a 2 story cathedral ceiling. I'm driving the system with an Onkyo TX-NR828. In the front, I have 2 ML SLM XL's on the right and left with a SLM in the center. For the 2 surrounds and 2 rears, I have ML Motion 4's. The system is awesome. And the SLM's mounted on the wall next to (and below) my 80" flat screen looks incredible. I highly recommend the SLM's.

I don't know how the speakers would compare. The SLM's do have a nice clean sound, but should be paired with a subwoofer. And they do look good next to a flat-panel tv.

for surrounds, the 40 would be more than decent, i feel for surround use, the 60s would be a tad overkill, of course, i have a medium sized living room so i don't have to fill a large space. i use the 40s just as mains and they are more than capable of filling my space with luscious sound.

I am very happy with the Pioneer speakers. Bass is not an issue for me as well. I like more treble. I listen to Rock/hard rock.

I got these for Xmas & they start to crackel at around 50%. maybe it is because i am using on board sound, not sure. They are great speakers but not impressed with the bass at higher volumes.

Can't really provide an opinion based on comparison. I have not had the opportunity to hear the Polk DB6501's. Have really liked the Alpine SPR60s though. When I did my research before purchasing the Alpines Polk's rated very high. Try to visit a local audio shop in your area that carries both brands and listen for your self. I can tell you that you can't go wrong with the Alpines they produce good quality sound.

It is hard to tell, you should be more forthcoming about the speakers. Although I'd recomend to take a look at XPA-2 instead.

i find they have very true sound. I would buy them again. I also have the bowers wilkens p3's but i like the t51's a little better. I am not a fan of extra bass. Hope this helps.

I put these in my 1999 Celica and they seem to make the factory system sound great. Of course the former speakers were blown. Bass is punchy and pretty damn good for door speakers. I think the system lacks some in the mid range, but the rear speakers are still a little dodgy and replacing them will probably do the trick. Note the factory speakers were impeadance 2 ohm and 25 watt. These are very different rated and only experimentation would demonstrate a superb speaker through comparison. I am pleased with the sound and the price. I would rather some infinity speakers but I might pay 3 times more and get only a little better sound, plus I didn't find any 8" ones, and these were a steal.

More power is better. I installed these in a Lincoln Continental. I used a four channel 125 watt @ 2 ohms amplifier in my set up. This was more than enough power for these speakers. Infinity is known for their treble frequency reproduction. These are quality speakers at a reasonable price. If your just replacing your factory speakers.. You should consider at least installing an aftermarket head unit. You can really push these speakers. They sound best with adequate power. Under powering ANY speaker will give you subpar performance.. Installing an amp is a simple concept. Tuning your amp and speakers is more complex.

Well, they are pretty close spec wise, I can't speak to how they sound in comparison but the audiopipe are 750 RMS 1500 peak, theses are 1200 RMS 2400 peak, these are 95db efficiency where audiopipe is 92db these have a 3" voice coil where the others are 2.5" (which IIRC means it would be capable of slightly more excursion).

They seem to do very well with my aftermarket Pioneer AVH-X3500BHS, which is 50w peak. They are installed in the rollbar of a 2011 Wrangler Unlimited, and I have the digital EQ set to max bass, and the Loudness setting to about medium (so that my hard top doesn't rattle). I am not using an amp.

Yes they are better. I have 800 watts rms pushing them and its just one speaker.

I have m50s as well. In comparison the m-100's have a significantly better sound on the low end. The bass respond you get with these are really good. The highs are also better than the m50s. To me, they do not "pierce" the ears as much when I turn it up a bit. Finally, the mids are about the same in quality, however since the vmodas have those two other strengths, you will probably notice the mids to be better with m50.

I'm completely satisfied with mine. Good sound for the money. The "aux in" feature is a nice touch also.In regard to whether they're for audiophiles, I'm definitely not an audiophile, so no clue. I think they sound good. They don't distort my music and have adequate base considering how small they are.These are little computer speakers, not stereo speakers. They are vastly better than the speakersthat came with my Dell computer. They aren't as good as the ones attached to my receiver (which costabout 7 times more).

The ATHM50RD are very accurate, I use them with a NAD 375BEE, they sound like Paradigm monitor 9 speakers. If you have a good source and an ear for sound you can't go wrong at this price point. However if your plugging them into a mp3 player and like heavy bass music then don't buy them. Not that they don't have very good bass, they just don't try to replicate a sub woofer by adding distortion and making your music muddy which is great if all you listen to is very heavy bass driven music.

I got these speaker about one month ago and I tried them with the NAD 3020D, Peachtree 65 SE and Arcam A19 (+Arcam irDAC). The NAD is not powerful enough for the LS 50. The Peachtree 65 Watt was a good fit and it did very good job with vocals and Jazz - it didn't sound well with rock music. The Arcam is definitely the best (and the most expensive if you buy also the irDAC). The dynamic of the Arcam is amazing and much better than Peachtree's. My personal advise is to invest $700 more and get Arcam with the Arcam irDAC (that uses the best DAC available on the market Burr-Brown).
