I am running JL XR series components up front.

These might be a possibility,

Excellent sensitivity with a pretty low power rating.

I didnt mean to offend your decision Willie Gee, but my system is different and I just want to make sure I do it right the first time. I have a history of replacing parts a few times before I get it right.

you know the rears.

I'm SOOoooo NOT offended. You seemed a little concerned about spending $$$ on the S-pods, so I just wanted you to have the best system in your budget.

& honestly the rears are the least important part of your system, but they are still a link in the chain. IMO you have a great set-up already, and there's little reason to spend $350+ on speakers you can only hear and cannot/ should not listen to. That's all. But take my advice with grain of salt, 'cause you're the one who has to listen to it everyday. And it's your bank account as well.

I'm just trying to help.

a slightly more expensive but good sounding efficient speaker?

Im gonna go for the 5000CS, thanks everyone.

I checked out the spec's on the Ref 5000cs...they look to be a good fit. You won't be able to use the "I Mount" system for the tweeters though. They will attach with doublestick tape to the rool hoop plastic and stick out partially through the mounting plates.

But will the leather grille still fit?

There should be no problem with the grill. If you tried to surface mount any tweeter there would be, but mounting according to the provided instructions should be easy. Call me if you have any install questions. You have PM.
