Sony MP-62

I know people asked similar question before. But do you guys think its worth change the original speakers in my boat? They are still working but in my opinion they sound a bit harsh and has always sounded harsh. I was thinking to swap them for JBL marine club speakers if decided to change.

Thank you all.

It depends a lot on what speaker you're coming from, and what you choose as a replacement. I've often found JBL's voicing can be harsh and elevated in the upper midrange, but I think it's a good sign that they have silk dome tweeters instead of metal. I've never heard the JBL marine speakers, but JL Audio are likely similar and a fine choice too. I listened to what was available when I upgraded mine and went with Roswell, but they're power-hungry enough that they may not be a great choice if you don't have a dedicated external amp.
