[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8787766, member: 614752"] I've always liked JBL myself. They should perform very well against anything else in their price point (compare 300$ set of JBL vs. 300$ set of anything else). JBL/Infinity is the same company and largely the same product with different logo. I've had great success with everything JBL/Harmon/Infinity/Crown. That said, I've liked JL and Alpine type R in the past, though I would avoid the low level JL products, they are not very good. Someone posted here recently that current generation Alpine type R is not as good as the old ones (that I have liked) so use your discretion there and it would probably be best if you could listen to them yourself in-person at your local shops. For me, I have found that typically a 100$ set will sound like a 100$ set and a 300$ set will sound like a 300$ set and a 600$ and up set will all be about the same across all reputable brands. In comparing brands it is important to compare comparable price points and then from there, once you're into the middle ground in product lines it will all be just personal preference as anything that you'd buy (here in USA) for the 250-300$ and up price range should all be able to sound very nice with good mounting locations and proper crossover.
