If thats the only 2 chioces, JL. I agree Memphis is a great brand, but JL was created by an audiophile, for audiophiles, but along the way go hi-jacked by every big mouthed bragging kid as his own brand. I have never owned a JL piece that didnt do exactly what I expected or better, I have been disappointed with numerous other brands. Also, IMO....JL= SQ, Memphis = SPL, not to say thats all they do and they can't do both.
