I'm replacing my DXI 651 Polks with a pair of MM 651, today.
I have a Polk PA D2000.2 amp. It's certified at 100 watts per channel RMS and 200 bridged. Very good amp.
The MM 651 also are rated for 100 watts per channel. RMS. They are a perfectly matched combo. The amp still has power for additional speakers or a sub woofer.
The MM 6501 which I don't have, are component speakers and have appx 50 watt higher RMS and Peak power rating along with adjustable crossovers.
I didn't want to find places to mount the tweeter, therefore I chose the MM 651.
Good luck in your choice.
Back to my project or as the wife says, obsession....
