The thing with the MB Quarts is that you should run them active. The passive crossovers are the weak point.
They have plenty of midbass if setup properly. The tweeters are also VERY nice when installed correctly(Off Axis in the A Pillars and crossed over at 3.15hz/-24db slope)
The inexspensive PCE-216 has the same tweeter in the QSD set, and can be had for ~250.
If I had to go with a passive component set, I'd probably get the Alpine Type-X Components, based off the Vifa XT-19 tweeter and XT mids. Very smooth unharsh sound with adequate midbass, not great midbass, but nice.
