Hi,
Anyone have any opinions/experience of the JBL P652 or Infinity Kappa 62.7I?
Both are coaxials which I am considering for the rear to be matched with a JBL P650C, but both seem similar. Sort of swayed towards to Infinity as they are maybe a fiver cheaper.

Is it ok to mix and match speaker brands?
 
I sort of figured they are both similar, much like ATI v Nvidia. However not knowing speaker brands very well or if one brand is more suited to car audio than another, id thought id pick the brains of you fine people :p The only difference ive just spotted id the freq range of the infinitys top out at 25khz against the JBLs 23Khz. However im guessing thats no big deal.
 
Personally i would say the infinitys would be a better sound quality, but then the jbl's would probably be cheaper. Depends what you are after
 
I've got infinities all round and I love them, the clarity is aweseom even though I've got old ones now. Infinity reference.

The 6" components are a little treble intensive, but it all ads to the clarity and the 6x9's make up for it in the bass department.

I love the way they sound tbh.

There is nothing wrong with mixing speaker brands. After all your stereo won't know :p

Only your ears :)

If infinity do better 6x9's and JBL do better components or whatever there is no harm in having both different makes :)

Its the lesser of two evils tbh I am afraid with those two, imo not the sweetest sounding gear so take the cheapest. But then my last ICE install that didn't dissapoint me cost well into 4 figures not including the decimal point :(..
 
I've had both (P series and Kappa) and will tend to sway towards infinity.

they are both part of the same company though, Harmon Kardon.
