[QUOTE="SmartAsss, post: 7182362, member: 629857"] I haven't heard too many different sets, and honestly now a days would not buy a set of pre-packaged components knowing what I do now. I can only vouch for the speakers im running now. I currently have the TS-D720c [URL="http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/CAE720Review.pdf"]http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/CAE720Review.pdf[/URL] I have them running active off of a JBL ms-8 and a 100w x2 for the mids and 80w x2 for the tweets. all I can say is that they sound t**s, with a very healthy amount of mid-bass and the tweets are very smooth. they get very loud too. They sound really good on the passive crossovers but going active with them took them to a whole new level. problem is they are discontinued now. you can still find them for sale if you look hard enough. They were only $100 so they are an incredible deal. You would have to spend over well over $200 to find something that competes with them. Other options to consider would be upper end Boston, Jbl, Image dynamics, Hertz, DLS, or Hybrid audio. they all make excellent prepacked components and are widely used and you can many find reviews of them. If you have crossovers to do a active setup then you can buy "raw" drivers, as many call them and save a bundle of money. It is very possible exceed the sound quality of the prepacked components if you choose them properly. The more you know the less you have to spend. the only place I know of that will help you understand this is diyma. spend few weeks reading there and you will start to get the picture of what makes a good sound system. the best advice I can give you is, find a set of speakers that interest you, then search for as many reviews as you can find. the good sets will always have a number of reviews and they will describe the sound of them which can help you make a decision. and if you can listen to them in person that is even better.
