Can someone please clarify whether the 937 is better than 963 (technology-wise) or is it vice-versa? my novice brain says that the newer series would be the better technology.. am i right in this one???

Now my question is, if i need to add a 4 channel sub for driving these co-ax's.. would this peak wattage make any difference? would the GT5-963 with 210w power handle the amp? and also need advice on what would be the best performing budget amp available these days?

Hello Baba.

First let me tell you that this style of posting with many dots is frowned upon by Team-BHP, please avoid it completely in the future OK? Thanks for that in advance.

Now first - good speakers, congratulations, good sound for the money and all that. Now sit back and enjoy them, don't do any post-mortems saying which is better and which is not.

GT5 is newer technology than GTO, but the GTO are a higher series and more expensive too.

You said 4 channel sub, I assume you meant amplifiers. There are many budget amps that will drive those speakers. To put your mind at ease, any amplifier that would drive the GTO937 will drive these too. Do not worry about the power ratings.

There are good budget amps by JBL and Blaupunkt and there are threads on it. do search around.
Correct on all counts.
